I would say that you should report it to the sender. Their mistake, they'll probably want to get the results to the correct destination or they'll just resend the results out... Hopefully the machine doing the envelope stuffing didn't get out of sync and stuff hundreds of envelopes with the wrong results.

It makes question their integrity. I have another persons information address other personal information their photo, their results and what they got wrong! It's embarrassing....why should I pay them again?(need to retake)

Send it back. Everyone makes mistakes.

We are going to compare a mistake with a machine that stuffs envelopes with the need to pay to take the NCLEX again because of a previous fail. Not to be rude, but there is no correlation between the events. I find this interesting.

It is probably venting, get your results and jump on it again. Don't let bad feelings taint your progress toward passing. Let it go.

Well I contacted the girl whose results I had she got someone's else's too and she is furious about the whole thing....I think it comes down to professionalism there was no letter of apology for privacy being violated...for state board seems pretty lame.
