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!
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.
Agreed! So someone might get the bad pop up at first but, when the test is graded the second time without the pilot questions they may get the good pop-up. I feel like people get confused about this aspect and assume it doesn't work.

No. It was trying to request you to put in a valid expiration date. You did not do the correct trick. The PVT still works as long as you put in valid information.
