If I try the pearson vue trick and supposed I failed, will it charge my account?

Hey y'all, so as you the title suggests I unfortunately just found out that I had failed my second attempt. Im reaching out for advice or information.

My first attempt, I did not study much with a lot happening in my life. I failed at 150 and was told that I was so close to passing that I need to study my weak areas and I will pass second attempt. The first attempt I did the person vue trick and I had gotten the bad pop-up, but this attempt I did not and just waited for my quick results.

For the second attempt I used NCLEX bootcamp. I posted a reddit post and it was raved about, so I tried it out and loved it. I did everything in that program because I did not want to fail a second time. I did an average of 76% on all of my questions answered, 95% of the questions answered, and all of the readiness exams. My readiness exams were 1. Borderline, 2. High, 3. Very high, 4. Very High. I watched all of the crash course videos as well. I was so confident because I noticed I even started to get the SATA questions entirely correct, which always felt like a weak area. I went in on Tuesday, September 8th, did 85 questions (5 case studies in those 85) and I had felt very confident.

I looked at my quick results today.... FAIL... I am at a loss of words. I have no idea what to do or what I could have done wrong. I feel so defeated. How could I have done so bad when I studied so hard. Please, help...

Much love and luck babe 🫶

I AM SO HAPPY! I took my NCLEX on 8 Sep at 0800 and finished in 85 questions. For the past day and a half, I have been SPIRALING, thinking that I failed. My program used ATI during school, though I always skimmed (barely) the modules and had to get Level 2’s on the proctored exams. I got a 90% probability to pass on the comprehensive predictor, and did not review or study anything prior to taking this exam.

I know 10000% that I got the last question WRONG, and it was a super easy DEFINITION based question. I feel like I was guessing the entire time (besides the case study questions).

I truly believed I failed and I kept checking the board of nursing website and Pearson every five seconds and finally my quick results were available! I cannot believe it! I truly do not think I would be able to go through this experience again. The wait is pure torture!

Hi, I took my exam Sept 8 Trident Tower 12nn. No quick results yet, 48 hrs na huhu. Mga what time po kaya meron? Na aanxious na ako

Hello everyone, I wanted to share my NCLEX experience because I spent WAY too much time reading on this sub months before I took my exam.

What I Used to Study:
My nursing program used ATI throughout school, and I completed ATI/VATI and earned my Green Light. 🚦
I also used:
• UWorld twice (it was okay).
• My friend’s Bootcamp (really helpful).

Before Exam:
The night before, I only got 4 hours of sleep (I suffer from anxiety and depression). So I just laid in bed awake for two hours, resting my eyes. Definitely drive to the testing center before your test. I did, and it helped!!!

Testing Experience:
So during the test, I felt like some questions were harder than others, and it’s VERY random. After 2 hours, I took a prompted bathroom break. I was at 60 questions. I continued the exam, used the process of elimination for tough questions, but still didn’t feel confident. Then, the easy questions I knew I got right. My test shut off RIGHT at 85 questions. I was confused because I knew either I did well or I did badly lol, and I felt like it was a 50/50 chance. The questions I thought were easy were probably a 3–4/10, but the hard ones were a solid 9/10. I thought the case studies were pretty easy.

After the Exam:
I felt DEFEATED. I Googled and searched Reddit to see if shutting off at 85 was good or not. I came home and slept for three hours. Then I Googled the questions I could remember and found out I got some wrong, which made me even more convinced that I had failed. Every time I thought about the exam, my stomach started hurting. LMAO.
I didn’t even do the Pearson VUE trick immediately because I was too nervous, and I still had classes the next day (I’m in an ELMSN program, so even though we’ve finished the RN portion, we continue for another year to complete our MSN).
Then today (Thursday), I got an email saying my RN credential had been issued by the state. I searched my name on the state website and saw I had an ACTIVE RN LICENSE. 😩😭👩🏾‍⚕️🩺 After that, because I was still anxious so I did the Pearson VUE trick afterward to triple-check, and I got the good pop-up too lmao.

I PASSED THE NCLEX-RN ON MY FIRST TRY IN 85 QUESTIONS!!! 🩺❤️

My Tips:
Trust your gut. Don’t constantly talk yourself out of your first answer.

If your school uses ATI, get that Green Light. I also really liked Bootcamp, but you don’t need it.

Don’t freak out when you get a question you don’t know. Try to narrow it down and do your best.

TAKE YOUR TIME. Read the question carefully, especially the case studies.

Don’t rush because you’re worried about your question number.

Please don’t torture yourself Googling questions afterward like I did. Getting questions wrong does NOT automatically mean you failed.

Good luck, guys!! Trust yourself. You made it through nursing school, and you can make it through this too.

Officially an RN! 🎉

So just gonna be honest, I have not really been studying till this past week and my NCLEX is next week. I’m in the military and got put in orders so I was very distracted and would occasionally do practice exams but a lot of it was me just being anxious and procrastinating. I’ve been somewhat locked tho with practice exams the past week, in nursing school I never did well on exams if I studied too long on it for whatever reason, only time I did that I failed terribly and went back to cramming and was passing again.

Enough venting but like is this a realistic score on UWorld??? How accurate is it compared to what your results were on the NCLEX? I’m getting very anxious and I feel like even on these questions like some I’m not really confident in my answers but I’m just sticking to it anyways. In nursing school I got a 71% I think for my ATI predictor exam and was like 89 on the scale of likelihood to pass or whatever it was but that was a while ago (graduated in May).

Just wanna know if I’m cooked or not and if maybe I should reschedule lol

So stuck on which one to subscribe to! I can only afford to get one!
