Pearson took my money. Is there still a chance I passed?

Students NCLEX

  1. I was charged $200 when I did the PVT trick before 24 hours and:

I took my NCLEX today and it stopped at the 118th question. I thought it was pretty hard. I got a lot of priority questions (almost all), a couple of psych, a number of SATAs, and just one calculation. 5 hours post exam, I went to pearson vue to try the trick and they took my money!

Is there still a chance I passed? I did it before the 24 hour mark and I really feel like I got a lot of difficult questions. I felt relieved when I passed 75 because I knew I was still getting a chance to prove myself. $200 is a lot, but if I passed I wouldn't really care because I'm going to earn it back anyway. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease share your thoughts/past experiences on this! I would really appreciate it. 48 hours is torture.

Well I guess anything is possible but most likely no I'm so sorry. Now It is a trick you can't bank on it only actual results are for sure. That being said I don't personally know anyone it hasn't worked for both ways pass and fail out of 4 separate graduating classes. Since they already took your money there is nothing to do but wait to get your quick results if your not in California.

Are you serious?

Why would you do that?

Going by the laws of probability, you have a higher probability of passing.

Going by the my this of the PVT, you failed.

Either way, you won't find out until you pay the $8 for quick results.

Either way, you've also shown a terrible lack of judgment and a high level of immaturity.

RnCali22, thanks for responding. Did they do the trick before 24 hours? I'm still hoping (wishing, really) that pearson vue accepted my payment because I tried it before my status said "delivery successful". Gahhhhhh, I studied so hard :unsure:

Canigraduate, I know. I was being really impulsive, but I can't take it back now. Hopefully, I do pass! :facepalm:

There hasn't been a delivery successful message since August 2014. The results status only refers to the availability of quick results. So California candidates will always say results unavailable.

No one will see delivery successful

Are you US educated, statistically US educated candidates pass first attempt 80%+

Internationally educated candidates where training is country specific and not to US standards and culture the pass rate on first attempt is

Hi! I'm internationally educated so the odds are against me :bluecry1: I live in New York, so I have access to quick results (thank god, I wouldn't be able to wait 4-6 weeks). I am not sure if the "delivery successful" status would be the same in here with California.

I've been in this site for hours now just hoping that somebody will tell me I still have a chance.

The delivery successful status has NOT EXISTED since Pearson cue updated the site in August 2014. This applies to anywhere and everywhere. CA. NY. ID Canada

No one can tell you what you want to read. You took a chance with the magic 8 ball. Either you failed and already paid for your next exam or you passed and gave away $200. There are no guarantees when you tempt the fates. NY may update your status now or later this morning if you check.

Statistically no. But there is always that tiny shred of hope that you did.
