Got the "good popup" for Pearsonvue trick and still failed!!

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I took my nclex rn June 7th and finished at abt 180 questions. I had a lot of SATA and there was only 2 questions I had to guess. The rest I felt confident. During the exam we had a power outage 3 times but they said that the computer saves the answers so we will resume where it left off. They asked if we wanted to reschedule and only 2 people did and the others including myself didn't because we traveled hours to get to the testing site as there isn't a testing site in our area. I did the PVT probably a million times and everytime I got the good pop up. After the 48 hours I still didnt see my quick results so I called and was told that there was an investigation "to make sure my results wasn't compromised". I asked what about and it was due to the power outage they had to make an incident report. During this time I kept doing the PVT and I kept getting the good pop up. Then 2 days after I called I check for my results and it said it was ready and it showed that I failed!!! I can't belive it!! I was so sure I passed as everyone said the PVT works!! Apparently it doesn't!!

You got a message saying you cannot register at this time because the candidate already has an open registration"? (good pop up)

Or, did you get a message saying "there is a hold on this account, another registration cannot be made at this time?" (NOT good pop up but not bad either, it's "hold" message)?

The "hold" message comes up whenever an exam is under review because of a problem, either a palm scan that didn't take, speed of exam, or something truly obvious in your case, a power outage. Seems like the power outage would put all the exams taken in 'hold' status and that is the message you got, not a 'good pop up'.

Sound about right?

I got a message saying you cannot register at this time because the candidate already has an open registration". (good pop up) It NEVER said anything about my results being on hold. It was only when I called they told me that but whenever I did the PVT even after I called, I ALWAYS got the good pop up.

Then I guess yours would be the story more people should read about, one in which you got the good pop up more than 24 hours after testing and yet failed. A lot of people keep insisting the PVT is 100% accurate (it isn't) and that it's a great way to find out if you passed (it isn't). Some think it's a good way to ease anxiety (yet, again, it isn't). I'm sorry for you having to go through all that because of a stupid game :(

Best I can say to you is that next time you test you know you won't do the PVT and will just hunker down and wait for the official notice to come in. GOOD LUCK to you!

"Open registration" is not a good popup, it menas you currently are already registered for 1 exam and cannot register for a 2nd one. Thus it is a neutral popup. The good popup is "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam"
