I had a bad pop up in 76 questions

Published

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?

The PVT is not reliable it's just a glitch no way to know if you passed or failed for sure until you get your quick results.... Good luck and do something fun to take your mind off NCLEX

Sorry to hear the bad news....all you can do is dust yourself off and try again....it's not easy but it's a must....trust me I know how u feel as I have failed twice

Thank you. I'll try my best the next time. Is it hard to get another ATT? Is it true that they will be requiring me to provide additional documents? (since I am international educated)

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).
