I paid 200 dollars for pvt

Published

I took the nclex this august 2015 and did the pvt, problem is i did it 30mins after my exam, i didnt know about the 24hr rule. They charged me 200 bucks. Is it certain that i have failed?

The tos says nothing about it. Only the ncbsn candidate bulletin, which I don't know if that is actually legally binding

Plus at the point the PVT one doesn't know if they pass or failed so that way of thinking doesn't work.

What way of thinking? Hoping for the good pop up and, if you're using you're real credit card, expecting to be charged if you failed?

Trying to re-register for the test, that thinking doesn't work & isn't logical. When people do the PVT they don't know if they passed or failed.

Oh & this is straight from the Pearson Vue website TOS.

I saw that. I think there is a way around it.

Please explain why that approach to the Pearson-Vue trick is illogical. I feel like it is the only logical reason to use your actual credit card.

There is no way around it, it's there in black & white. Pearson Vue is stating they will not be held liable for any charges you make.

Why the approach to the PVT is illogical? Ok... People are doing something they know doesn't tell them if they passed or failed the NCLEX. They know there is a likelihood of getting charged. It's illogical from every stand point.

The system is set up to register you to take the NCLEX. Somewhere along the way, yes, the PVT emerged. But now it is not reliable & you chance $200. I don't know how you think it's logical at all or even with a valid credit card.

Oh, I'm basing my position on the opinion that the pvt is reliable if done correctly.

Pearson-Vue can state whatever they want, sometimes it's not legally binding.

The PVT is not reliable all of the time because it's just what it says, it's a trick. Whereas the quick results are reliable. And yes it is legally binding, you agree to the TOS when you sign up.

Are terms of service automatically legally binding? Are you beholden to tos after you no longer need the product/goods? I don't know.

At any rate, I was thinking that, since the pvt is pretty dang reliable, the percentage of people who pay the $200 but pass is probably not that high and those people should be advised to do a charge back with their cc company.

Yes, the TOS are legally binding. That's why they have them. If you violate the TOS here don't you get in trouble here? Well the same anywhere else online.

But see, with the PVT, people are trying to do something they aren't suppose to & while doing so getting charged. They are really suppose to registering for the NCLEX but just wanting to see if they passed. They know the whole time while doing this they could get charged.

The PVT isn't reliable. My car is reliable, it starts ever morning. But the PVT is far from reliable. People either get the correct pop up, bad pop up/pass, good pop up/fail or get charged regardless & that is not reliability.

I think terms of service are a deterrent. I don't think AN could take $200 from me if I violated tos and even if they put that they could do that in their tos, I doubt they could enforce it.

I'm inclined to believe user error accounts for most of the pvt problems, but that is speculation.

User errors & PVT? No.
