:( Hi Everyone I'm new here, I just want to share my story as of Today 2/27/16 I took my Board. I was so SCARREEEDD! my hands and feet were so cold like i was standing on ice (cause i was so nervous). I had probably 6 math question and surpisingly only 6-8 question of select all that apply. Most of it was priorities and delegation, so to make the long story short i start 1pm and almost 4pm my computer got turned off. My (1st) question on the right hand corner of the computer under your time is dat the number on how many questions you have took? cause for some reason i was thinkin i stopped at 85 questions but when i checked out the lady in the front she said "Congratulation you did well! So i was like "i hope so! I stopped at question 85 but she said NO and the way she looked at me and said "now here is what you do go home relax and start preparing your resume" so to me I was like pls. Dont get my hopes up but then she made me feel like be assure to start making your resumes and repeating those words about 3-4 times for the whole entire conversation, now i did read some of the infos here that they won't have the results for your test or they wouldnt know if you passed or not, but the post were back in 2007-08, i need your opinion guys Ik i wouldnt have access to any result but i cant sit still here not knowing if i passed or not Can someone pls. Help me (comfort) that should i hold on to her words or yet jst sit here and be negative. I also saw the most post about the pearsonvue trick the most recent one and i wanted to try but is it true? its accurate if its more then 24hrs cause im ready to pay $200 to just go ahead and know it now then later, btw its my second time taking the test my first one STOPPED AT 85 question also but most of that was select all that apply and 2math and a couple of delegation. Can anyone pls. Help me by just giving your own opinion cause it does matter alot to me! -Thank you everyone for your time.

Ok...here's the thing. The people at the testing center generally don't see or know your results for the NCLEX. Even if they did, they would probably have no idea if you passed or not if they saw a % of correct questions or whatever, as NCLEX is scored differently than most exams. Maybe they misstook you for someone else who took a different exam? Anyway, the PV trick doesn't require you to pay anything one way or the other. You attempt to re-register for the exam; if you get the screen where you can enter a credit card and proceed with registration, that means you failed (according to the trick). If you get an error message saying you can't register for the exam, or that you already registered for/took the exam, then you passed (again, according to the trick). You NEVER actually put in a card number or get charged! If you make it to a payment screen, either you failed or the trick didn't work...so don't keep going.

No that was the old PVT trick, Pearson Vue updated their system and made it to where you have to gamble and put in your credit card information and then hit the submit button, if you get the pop which is the same message from the trick "our record indicates.. etc.." Then you pass but if you are charged and able to make a new registration then that's the bad pop. Either which way nothing is confirmed until you actually get your official or quick results from Pearson Vue or the state BON.

Ya I agree with moanalpn I did the trick last year after their change went into effect and it made us put in our credit card info whether we passed or failed. But it stopped you from going any further than that if you passed. The one person who failed did the trick and had to pay, but regardless you'll have to pay to retake it anyway. But I would wait for your results if I were you.

Yes, in order to do the trick as of late 2014, you must submit payment info and risk Pearson Vue attempting a charge.

As for test center staff having access to results, NCSBN says:

Although the exam is scored as you complete each item, no results are released at the test center. In fact, test center staff do not have access to the exam results.

Good luck!!!
