Bad Pop Up and PASSED NCLEX!

Published

I recently took the NCLEX and after 180 questions it cut off. I was sure I failed so I looked on this forum to get some info. That's when I read about the PVT so I tried it and YES I did it right. I put in an expired card and got the bad pop up. Naturally I got upset and felt like it was confirmation that I failed. Still, I praised and thanked God and felt peace that it was part of His plan. Well, I did the quick results and it said PASS! I owe it to God, but I also don't think the trick always works. Just thought I would share my story. God bless!

I feel like they are just saying that. I got the good popup yesterday

Maybe it was different for me because I had a hold on my results. I followed the instructions exact and the only pop up I got was "results on hold". Then the bad one where I was asked for a valid expiration card date. So that usually means you fail. Now I have read else where that you have to use a valid card and all the information must be correct for it to be right. I wouldn't want to risk being charged $200 and just give Pearson more of my money. It would have went through, if my bank didn't flag it. I have seen more people say if they got the good pop up after 24 hours, it's almost never wrong. But your test is scored twice. So if it's done before 24 hours, it may be wrong. It was surely wrong for me. I did every single step correctly. I did it at a few hours after and a few more times. I got the bad pop up 40 hours post test.

My personal theory is that if you get the bad pop up you failed it with the pilot questions included. When they grade it the second time they toss those questions and then reanalyze your exam.

I used PVT and it was bad because it let me go to the credit card page.

But I passed in 75 questions, so PVT is NOT 100%. Pearson Vue still hasn't even admitted I passed because "Results Not Available" is what I still get. But.......Tx BON says I'm an RN as of this morning. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!

You had to submit the info on the CC page and the pop up comes up after that.

Maybe your right. I don't know. I don't believe I failed before the pilot questions were thrown out. But then again idk. I did really good in school and got a 99% chance of passing first time according to ATI. I did the Hurst review and did fairly well on their Q-tests too. All I know is when I did the trick that the pop up I saw was "results on hold." I couldn't tell you how many times I did it. Lol. Then 40 hours post test I got the bad pop up and 2 or so hours my quick results said I passed and this morning my name and license number are on my states BON website and I just signed my contract for my new job. Maybe having a hold delays scoring I am not sure either. I just wanted to share my story just in case anyone was going through something similar.

Yes. You do have to go through with the whole process and actually click submit.

Same thing happened to me. It let me go in click submit and tried to charge me $200. Thankfully, it didn't go through to my bank, but my bank flagged my card and I had to call the bank to get it fixed. If I had waited just a few more hours, my quick results were available and I passed. This morning the BON posted my RN license number. I know some say it works, but for me it did not and tried to charge me and I, indeed passed.

What do you mean it tried to charge you? It either does or it doesn't. If you passed it won't charge you...you'll get a nice a lil message that says "our records indicate you already blah blah." :)

When I put my debit card number and wrong expedition date and clicked submit it took me to a pop up that said "please include valid expiration date." Then shortly after I got an email from my bank about it. So therefore, it tried to charge my debit card.
