Does the Pearson Vue trick (PVT) work?

Published

Today at 8:00 AM I taken my NCLEX-PN. About two hours, at 10:00 AM, my test stopped at 85 questions. I had a lot of select all that applies (SATA) in the middle and I noticed that my test towards the end gave me easy multiple-choice questions. I think I got the last multiple question wrong.

I was anxious throughout the rest of the day. I looked for advice on nursing sites and found that many people used the Pearson Vue trick (PVT) to find out if they passed or not due to how the pop-up looks at the credit card information. From what I understand, if you got the "good pop up," you passed and their was a risk that your money on the credit card would get deducted.

So at 10:00 PM, I did the PVT and I used a prepaid credit master card that only had $50.00. I pressed submit and I got an (!) symbol and "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Another registration cannot be made at this time." Did I do this correctly? Is this the "good pop-up" that people who passed talked about? Or did I do it too early and should I try again tomorrow?

you passed. i took nclex-rn yesterday morning at 930. finished in 75 questions at 1030. did the pvt at 11am. good pop-up. did it again at 2, 6, and 10pm. all good-pop up. today, this morning, i searched michigan license lookup and my license was posted, verifying that i passed (might not work for your state).

feel good, but i understand you want legit confirmation, which u can pay 8 bucks for 48 hours after.

Thank you for your response. Right now I just finished doing the PVT trick and I still got the (!) symbol and "...registration cannot be made at this time." pop-up. It has been about 22 hours since I finished my NCLEX-PN at 85 questions on 10:00 AM yesterday. So far I did the PVT trick four times now, all with the same symbol and pop-up. Tomorrow, I plan to look at quick results.

Although this pop-up has eased my anxiety, I know I am still not in the clear. There are stories of people doing the PVT trick hours after their exam and they got the good pop-up, only to do the PVT trick the next day to get the bad pop-up which, if I understand is "Credit card has been declined. Please contact your credit card company." That's why I've been doing this four times now. I am relieved that I still been getting the good pop-up.

Tomorrow, I will check my quick results. Again, thank you for taking the time to respond to me.
