I passed WITHOUT the good pop up

I was sure I failed even before I checked the PearsonVUE website. When I got my first question I though, "What the heck? I never studied THIS! This is NOTHING like ATI. It is NOTHING like my Lippincott book! What is this?" I had that feeling throughout the test. When the computer shut off at 75 I was sure it was because I was so far below the passing standard that there was no way for me to get back up to it. I checked the PearsonVUE website and did not get the good pop up. I checked again at 48 hours and my quick results were not ready. I was sure I failed.

I was wrong. After 50 hours my quick results say I passed and my license number is on the BON website. I'm so relieved.

I guess the moral of this story is don't trust the PearsonVUE trick. It has worked for at least one of my classmates but it did not work for me.

If you ended up paying $200 to Pearson Vue so that you could take another exam, that's the "bad" result. Simply going to the "credit card page" as described in any post before August 2014 no longer works as the "bad popup." You have to enter credit card info and actually click "submit" before you'll go to the next screen, where you'll either get a credit card confirmation, credit card declined, (either is bad) or you'll get a hold (neutral), or you'll get a good popup. The good popup text is essentially identical to the text previously described as the good one.

You very well may have had a hold on your records and that would keep the QR from being available to you until the hold is released. That hold would also keep your credit card from being charged because you can't register or do anything else until the hold is released.

Unless it charged you $200 you actually did not do the pearsonvue trick right. You didn't get the good pop up because you didn't go far enough. Pearsonvue trick has been 100% fail proof if you do it after 24 hours and you go all the way to the confirmation page.

OK. I get it. I guess I'm just risk-averse. 200$ is more money than I can afford to lose right now.

It's more than most can afford to lose, which is why we are constantly telling people to wait a minimum of 24 hours prior to trying it. And you DO have to actually submit the credit card info in order to get a pop up of either indication.

I think, too, that trouble comes in when there has been a hold placed on an exam, and it takes longer to release anything at all.

Quick Results, OTOH, are always accurate ;)
