I believe the PVT is a myth...an illusion. People may want to believe it does work but
do you really think Pearson Vue and the Board would allow such glitch in their system?
It is a very good coincidence that all those who got "good pop-ups" passed their test,
but then there are also those who failed. The only real way to know is to wait for the official
result. Best thing you can do is relax and do your ADLs. Stressing won't do any good.
That so-called glitch has been around for at least ten years (I used it when I took the NCLEX) and it seems to still "work". What Pearson does has zip to do with any board as far as processing payment. They KNOW if you passed the second the computer snaps off - because it turns off at the passing or failure point, whether it's 75, 150, 189, or the full 265 questions.
So logic tells me that since Pearson already knows you passed or failed, the system would either accept payment for a reschedule or not make the attempt to charge the card if a report is pending to your respective BON (because experience tells me that's what's going on).

I took my NCLEX today at 8am. I tried the PVT and unfortunately I got the "bad pop up" i believe, I entered my credit card information with the wrong expiry date, it just says payment declined. I was pretty confident right after I took the exam but then when I got home to do the PVT, I feel like my whole world's falling apart
How is PVT reliable?
