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.

Hi everyone,

I just joined allnurses.com, & I just have to say you guys have helped me a great deal with my pre and post-nclex anxiety. I took the exam 2 days ago..Feb 28th. I came out in tears coz I had 246 questions with mostly SATA and priority. Plus a whole bunch of medications that I had never seen in my life. During the exam, after about 2 or 3 multiple choice questions, a SATA would pop up. After the exam, I cried all the way home in my car & had people stop at lights and watch me while I sobbed. I went home and was certain I failed. I didn't take a Kaplan course- just used a Lippincott & Pearson review book & practiced with questions, so I was so bummed out & was convinced I had failed after that many questions. Then I decided I'd come on allnurses and find out if the pearson glitch was true. I tried to re-register & I got the good pop up. Tomorrow morning will be 48 hrs, & I'll be able to access quick results in NY. I'm hoping and praying I'm not the exception to the PVT :(

Also, how long will it take before they post your name on the Licensure website as an RN? Mine's still not there. So idk what this means :(

I feel like the anticipation and waiting is gonna put me into a cardiac arrest before I even see my official results lol.. sighhh...

Suzycheeks---I know how you feel. I did 265 quesions with TONS of SATA, put steps in order, and prioritization. Took me 4 1/2 hours. I left the testing center and sat in my car for a while just too dazed to drive. But when I got home I had the good popup from Pearsonvue, and within 24 hours from the time I started the test, my name was listed as active on the Ohio Board of Nursing verification web page. PVT works! Good luck and best wishes!

Okay took my nclex at 8 am this morning... Came home googled this trick and i got the good pop-up!... So i'm praying this means i passed... I will hopefully know for sure on friday with the quick results... Will keep posted.... From what i have read this trick seems to be right on the money.. We will see!

Hi everyone, I was just wondering, I took NCLEX on Feb.23 and Im in California. I got the 'good pop up' shut off at 75 questions but my name is not showing up on the BRN. I have 4 friends that took theirs on the 24th and three of them showed up on the BRN site and one found out she fail and by the way got the cc page. Am i freaking out for nothing and just be patient or is this a sign I failed???? Thanks

If you did the PVT correctly and got the good popup you passed. I'm in Texas and some of my friends were on the BON site before me and we took the test at the same time & place. Try not to over stress. Congrats!!!

:ancong!: Good popup = passed.

I am just confused and maybe a little overwhelmed still from the exam this morning. If you do the PVT and get the good pop up you pass, but does it matter what state you live in? I got the good pop up and took the test at 8am in MA. Just curious and may sound silly but I am so anxious

I just got home from taking the NCLEX-PN. Did the PVT and it said that I passed!!!! I wont know for sure until I get my results in 3-6 weeks but I'm fairly confident. It shut down at 93 questions. I didn't feel as if it was that difficult. I'll continue to pray until I have that License in my hands and will continue to do so to thank God for everything he's done! Good luck to us all!

I took my exam on the 23rd of February here in Cali. I just got the result this morning. Saw my name at the site. I waited 7 days.. I tried to register in pearsonvue so i could start reviewing again after the 3rd day of waiting cause i felt i ddnt pass. losing hope after 3 days of waiting i registered but it didn't let me go through at pearsonvue registration ... i prayed prayed and prayed.... Then i saw my name this morning at the BON site. God is really good.. I posted this so i can give hope to other nurses who are still waiting for their results.. Continue Praying... Ask MAMA MARY:redpinkhe for help She's Jesus' MOm so she's very close to Jesus. G:redpinkhed will help you.. Just PRAY... have faith! hardwork and more prayer pays.:) :nurse:

oops sorry i accidentally reposted my message...

I took my NCLEX-RN yesterday, 3/2/2011. I was sure I failed because I got so many SATA questions and prioritizing questions. It stopped at 75 questions and it only took me 1 1/2 to finish, so I was sure I failed. After about 2 hours I checked the PVT and I got the "good pop-up". I was relieved, but still not 100% sure. I checked again today and I got the same pop-up. I live in Texas so I should be getting the QuickResults by tomorrow! I am sooooo nervous! This will def. make or ruin my weekend... and life... but I'm hoping for the best! Good luck to everyone! I will post tomorrow if I passed or failed!!

I just took my NCLEX-RN exam and when i tried pearson vue today i feel devastated and sad and i dont know what else......i didnt get the good pop up.....

is there a possibility that you can still pass without getting the good pop up? or is there no chance for me at all? :crying2::crying2::crying2::crying2:
