Part 1 (the original thread)--

Pearsonvue "Trick". Is this TRUE? Does it Work Every Time?

Poll to take once you have received your response--

Pearson Vue Trick - Poll once you receive your results

Here are the exact steps to see if you passed or failed the NCLEX exam on the pearson vue web site:

1) go to http://www.vue.com/NCLEX.

2) select the 'test taker services' tab at the top.

3) click 'register' on the right side.

4) click the 'credit card' link.

5) click the 'sign in' link in the second sentence.

6) enter your username.

7) enter your password.

? click the button.

9) click 'register' on the left side.

10) select your test type.

11) click the button.

12) select your country.

13) click the button.

14) answer the yes/no questions.

15) select your country again.

16) select your state.

17) type in your city.

18) click the button. a list of schools should appear.

19) select your school.

20) select the month and year of your graduation.

21) select your board of nursing.

22) click the button.

Very important: at this point, if you get a pop up that says 'the candidate currently has test results that are on hold. a new registration cannot be created at this time.', it has nothing to do with passing or failing; It just means that they are reviewing your records due to random reviews that they conduct, or because they needed to locate some data or papers, etc. This means you will possibly have to wait a few more days than your friends who did not get this message. If you get the message 'our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your member board for further assistance. another registration cannot be made at this time.', that means you passed. If you do not get either message and go straight to the credit card information page, that means you did not pass.

Your pearsonvue account must state that delivery is successful before you try the trick

we're on the same boat....i'm going crazy too :uhoh3:

i live in california, took the NCLEX RN exam in san diego on 8/12. been getting the good pop up everyday.....:up: WHY IS THE CALIFORNIA BRN taking so long to update their website:( i have been checking the license verifcation site religiously :eek: i even called the BRN and they told me to wait 2-4 weeks in the mail. are you kidding me?! i will have a curling ulcer by that time :crying2::crying2::crying2::crying2:

its not fair that the CA BRN doesn't participate in quick results while other states get that option :mad:

did anyone else in california take the NCLEX RN exam on 8/12 and get their results back yet ????

Hi hotmalenurse,

I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one not having my results yet. I took mine too on 08/12 and will let you know when I get mine. My nerves are killing me but in between checking the CA BRN and trying the PVT, I'm cooking, eating and praying. I'll keep my hands crossed for you too. :up:

Just wanted to share my experience. I took the the NCLEX-RN in CA. First time around the computer shut off at 75 questions. I went home tried the trick and it went straight to the CC page. Sure enough, a week or so later, I got the letter that confirmed I had failed. Last Friday, I took the test again, all 265 questions. I was sure I had failed again, went home tried the trick and got the good pop up. Today I called the BRN and they confirmed my license was issued yesterday! The trick undoubtedly works. Good luck, ya'll!

Hi danathom,

You took the test last Friday is that 08/13? I took mine 08/12 with the CA BRN and still waiting for the results. had to answer all 265 but got the good pop up. Do you mean I can call the board and find out if a license has been issued for me?

Yes, I took it 8/13. I called today and said I was calling to inquire about the status of my license and to make sure my file was complete, ie. they had my transcripts and all necessary info to issue my license. She told me my file was complete, asked me to confirm my birthdate and then told me my license had been issued yesterday. I'm not sure if that's standard procedure, or if she was just nice, but I sure am glad to know! You should try too.

Thanks danathom. I sure will try that tomorrow. I wonder if your name is on their site already though because I've been checking that site religiously Board of Registered Nursing but it says it was last updated 08/15 and my name is not there yet. big Congrats to you.:yeah:

Yeah, I had been checking religiously too and I wasn't there yet, which kind of also prompted me to call. Hopefully they will update it again tomorrow. I have faith in the trick since I have experienced both the cc page and the good pop up, so a congratulations is in order to you as well! :)

Thanks so much dananthom. Can't wait. Big CONGRATS again and I pray you get a job real quick and easy. :)

i didn't know you can call the BRN in california for the status of your license.

i am definitely calling tomorrow.

the BRN phone lady rejected me the first time i called. i guess she didn't like me. lol

i hope we pass toughinok!

crossing my fingers!

Hey danathom, I called the CA BRN and gave them my file number like you said and told them I was calling to check if they had everything they needed to process my license and he said they sent it to the license processing unit yesterday. I'm so exhilarated! Still can't believe it! I was about to pass out. Thanks a lot for the advice but guess what? I'm the kind of doubtful person who still refuses to celebrate till I see the actual license. Hahaha. thanks anyway.

Hi hotmalenurse, they'll obviously turn you down if you call to verify if you passed or failed. But i guess this is just one more trick like the PVT. Call them like you already know you passed and say you're verifying they've got everything they need to process your license. COngrats in advance.

Congrats, toughinok!! Celebrate today and then again when you get the actual license in the mail!

Hey guys!

My 2nd attempt at the NCLEX was this morning and the computer shut off at 90 questions. My 1st attempt I got all 265!! Awful day! That will wear your brain out! Anyway, after my 1st attempt I did the pearson vue trick and it was gonna let me pay again. But tonight, I got the good news "pop up"! We shall see? I will let you all know. It seems pretty accurate. Out of the people that I graduated with all who passed got the "pop up" and all who didn't, well didn't get the "pop up". If you think about it, the "pop up" makes total sense. They wouldn't let you pay for something you didn't need (another attempt at the NCLEX). I tried to tell myself it was bogus and couldn't be accurate after the 1st attempt, only because I wanted to hang on to the hope that I had passed. But this time, I totally hope it's accurate. Selfish, huh? Well for all of you out there wondering if this trick works, I think it just might! Although, a glitch like that in such a "guarded test", I mean we palm printed to go potty! Like I said, I will let you all know my results! Good luck to you and I hope that you also got the happy "pop up"!

I took my NCLEX-RN exam today & found out about this PVT. I checked the status from the PearsonVue website & said "Delivery Succesful," so I went ahead & tried to do the trick...logged in, but when I got to the page where I have to answer questions (e.g. Have you ever taken NCLEX exam before? etc.) & put my school information, it gives me this message:

"An answer must be supplied to the following questions: Select the nursing program from which you graduated. Please fill in any combination of the following fields."

I tried both manually putting my schools program code & putting the state first & waited for the list of schools so I can pick my :idea:school...nothing worked. And of course, when I tried to click next after making sure I supplied all information the same message popped up again. Is there any way they changed something in the website by giving a different message? I tried a couple of times (hoping I wouldn't go straight to the cc payment) which i never did, so I'm still hoping for a good result :uhoh3: Has anybody gotten the same message that I got?! Pleaase let me know :(
