My confusion on the PVT trick is all of the people who supposedly do it, then ask what the answer means. How do people know everything about the "trick" but then claim they have no idea what the response is? There are literally thousands of posts on it. If I am going to attempt to find an answer via the PVT, I would sure as hell know what the purpose of the trick is and how to interpret the answer. I am still in school and those posts annoy me. End rant.

Too bad Pearson doesn't just give results via snail mail only. This way there would be roughly 500 less posts on allnurses.com about the PVT trick and people would learn "patience."

Also, a lot of people would get a few steps of exercise each day walking to their mailbox to open it and check!

The original PVT (pre 2013) was based exclusively on the Pearson test scheduling software. When you finished your test and logged back into your Pearson account and attempted to schedule a new test, you would get one of two results: You get the message "There is already a test scheduled" (meaning you passed and you can't schedule another) or it allows you to schedule another test (you failed and can schedule another test).

After 2013, Pearson changed their way of scheduling tests. Currently, you must attempt to pay for the test before it will prevent you from scheduling another test (you passed) or charges your card for another test (you failed). Obviously, people don't want their card charged for another test when they passed, so they input a different expiration date or CVV number (3 digit number on back of credit card). The Pearson scheduling and payment system was never intended to be used to determine Pass/Fail. When the scored test is officially finalized, how the scheduling software and payment software communicate, does entering wrong expiration date or CVV number effect the PVT. Some people attempt the trick immediately after the test. Some people wait 24 hours before attempting. There is no way of knowing if the test is officially scored at the time of PVT, if the PVT was performed correctly, if entering incorrect credit card information, or even if the PVT can accurately determine Pass/Fail. Just because you think you performed the PVT correctly and got the "good pop-up" message, it could be coincidence. Many people have gotten the "good pop up" and failed, got the bad pop up and passed, been charged for a new test and actually passed.

You could start a new "trick" to determine if you passed or failed. If the first stoplight is green on your way home, then you passed. You will have many people on this site swear that it is accurate based on the sole fact that they also got a green light on their way home and passed.
