Part 1 (the original thread)--

Pearsonvue "Trick". Is this TRUE? Does it Work Every Time?

Poll to take once you have received your response--

Pearson Vue Trick - Poll once you receive your results

Here are the exact steps to see if you passed or failed the NCLEX exam on the pearson vue web site:

1) go to http://www.vue.com/NCLEX.

2) select the 'test taker services' tab at the top.

3) click 'register' on the right side.

4) click the 'credit card' link.

5) click the 'sign in' link in the second sentence.

6) enter your username.

7) enter your password.

? click the button.

9) click 'register' on the left side.

10) select your test type.

11) click the button.

12) select your country.

13) click the button.

14) answer the yes/no questions.

15) select your country again.

16) select your state.

17) type in your city.

18) click the button. a list of schools should appear.

19) select your school.

20) select the month and year of your graduation.

21) select your board of nursing.

22) click the button.

Very important: at this point, if you get a pop up that says 'the candidate currently has test results that are on hold. a new registration cannot be created at this time.', it has nothing to do with passing or failing; It just means that they are reviewing your records due to random reviews that they conduct, or because they needed to locate some data or papers, etc. This means you will possibly have to wait a few more days than your friends who did not get this message. If you get the message 'our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your member board for further assistance. another registration cannot be made at this time.', that means you passed. If you do not get either message and go straight to the credit card information page, that means you did not pass.

my state doesnt participate in Quick Results. I am bummed.

Specializes in NONE.

I had 75 questions too. My last question was an easy question, did you get one like that? Have fun with your July 4th weekend. Hope Quick Results works for me soon.

I had 75 too and my last few were hard I thought.

Specializes in NONE.

I got the good popup and checked every 6h for the last 2 days. I hope PVT is accurate.

How long do I have to wait to find out if I do not pay for quick results? It says the results are 'unofficial' and I don't want to pay for something that isn't official. I am in FL.

I am in NH, but some of my classmates registered with the MA board of nursing. NH doesn't participate in the quick results, but MA does. Those that requested a license in MA paid for their quick results and they were accurate. They found out the next day through the MA BON. I mean Pearson knows before your BON if you passed as they send the results to the BON. I say go for it and see if you passed!

ugh, I had 3 math questions, 10 SATAs and the rest were mostly pharmacology and psych! After that it was prioritization. Gah!

Ugh that sounds terrible. I suppose I had more pharm when I think about it, there were a lot of the pretty standard ones (synthroid, dig, etc.), vs. the obscure meds I hadn't ever heard of that kept showing up on my review tests...I still was surprised at the few SATA's I had after reading people here who had 20-30 on a 75 question exam. I suppose only time will tell!

Specializes in NONE.

Great idea!! Even if it were $50 for the Quick Result, I would pay for it. It's better than the wait and torture of not knowing! I hope my quick result comes in 30 min.

When I took my NCLEX RN on Monday 6-21-2010, my RN License was posted on the Cali BON by Friday 6-25-2010. Now that the Govenor tried to reduce 200,000 state workers pay to $7.75 per hour (you are seeing the numbers correctly) because they "Budget" is not done - who knows how long Cali BON will take to get things done. This is sad - the state workers will have to get part time jobs if they can find one. OH AND FORGET GETTING A JOB IN CALI IF YOU ARE A NEW GRAD RN....

I had mostly obscure meds-some that I've never even heard of before! And for one of them, I had to pick the drug and dosage that I would "question the order" for a disease that I never even heard of in my life! Oh it was bad. I know they say don't guess and try and reason them out, but I just could not with some of them. I had nothing to go off of.

I had the same experience as you. The first priority ones, I could not figure out at all. I had no clue on maybe 65/75 total questions. I'm praying I pass, I did get the good popup. I'll post my results soon.

You have to wait 2 days before you can pay for the quick result anyway so it's not a big deal.
