LVN/LPN Pearson Vue Trick, NCLEX 2017

[Rverg06, BSN, LVN, RN]

Hey everyone,

I tried researching for this and found a articles from a few years ago and wanted to update as of 3/16/2017.

I took the test on 3/14 at 0800 and had my test shut off right at 85 questions. My heart literally sank because I had to pee so bad and was holding it for 10 questions, I thought to myself, let me get over the dreaded 85 and I'll take an early break, but low and behold it shut off 😱.

i am based in California and they do not participate in quick results 😫. I didnt want to risk paying another $200 (I get paid next week) so I didn't try the trick because the trick did change and you have to input your credit card info and hit submit now.

what to do!

log into your Pearson account-->reregister-->input all information (yes this include credit card info)-->be sure to change the expiration date on your card or even the security code-->contemplate if this will really make you feel better-->hit submit

I took the test with 2 others, one shut off at 87 and the other at 205. We all met up and got lunch and tried the trick today at 1330 3/16/2017, we all got the "good" pop-up everyone talks about 😁 Even though it's not official, at least gives me the false hope to not be so anxious lol.

At this point we just have to breath and prepare for our next steps of whichever way it goes. Until the final official letter is sent, I'll be checking the Breeze website inputting my name and hopping it pops up with a licensure :)

Hoping this helps! Good Luck

This happened to me and I lost sleep until I found out if I passed or not. I believe you passed since you got the good pop up. I was doubtful about the PVT but a student who took the NCLEX before me told me to try it and she told me that I passed but I kept freaking out...Lol but the next day I checked my State Board of Nursing and my name and License number appeared. Hope this helps...,congrats
