I'm sure the chances of the score changing from pass to fail in those 24 hours is less than .01% judging by the amount of people it has worked for. So to see the good pop up is extremely good news and means there's about a 99% chance you've indeed passed. I've been searching google for stories where the PVT hasnt worked and cant find any recent ones.

I don't know the actual statistics (as I'm sure you don't; these numbers you post here are your own guesses) but I can assure you I absolutely HAVE SEEN and HAVE communicated with people who have had this happen to them. And as recently as a few weeks ago. Most of the time the story is on the open board, sometimes I get a PM about it if they're embarrassed about crowing about their 'pass' and they actually failed).

You're right in that it's a slim chance. But because I've seen what has happened when people have taken this 'trick' as gospel, insisting it "won't change", etc.....and it did.....I feel it's important to at least caution people.

I always say that the PVT works just fine, but people tend to do it wrong (as in: before 24 hours' time for complete scoring) so.....there you go.

Good luck to all.

"Well that didn't happen with me and I don't know of anyone that has happen to." --NursePooda (html weird today!!)

Well I DO know of people it has happened to, so that's why I offer the caution. Saying "it didn't happen to me or anyone I know so it doesn't happen" is a pretty far stretch from anything evidence-based ;)

It really is a very good indicator, no doubt. And if I hadn't read/seen/spoken with the all-too-many people who have been shocked by getting a different outcome than they expected based on the PVT right after the exam....I might be with you your observation. But since I have.....I know the truth to be different :(

It's called a trick for a reason. Obviously it's not the official result. We do the TRICK just to see what happens not to take it as an official result. From the evidence I've seen the good outcome has outweighed the bad. Which is my point. I'm not saying it's never happen but very slim chance of it being bad.
