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.

Your pearsonvue account must state that delivery is successful before you try the trick

Hey everyone,

PVT "good-message" correlation worked for me as well. This has been an interesting meditation on our collective desire for instant gratification and also should necessitate thinking about ways to deal with stress and anxiety.

I wish everyone the best of luck, pass or non-pass, and I'm available by message on this site if anyone has any questions re: NCLEX prep or other issues.

Be well,

- Jacob

It worked for me. I took my exam on Monday at 8am, got all 265 questions and of course I was convinced I had failed so since I had nothing to lose I checked through Pearson Vue to see if I could register for the exam once again and got the message that said to contact the Board for more info. The next day I did it again and got the same message...then I went on the Florida Board of Nursing site, clicked on "Exam Results" and it said "PASS" next to my name. Two days after my exam, my license number was already posted on the BON site.

Good Luck to everyone who will be taking the test!

i took my nclex this morning and am freaking out!! i had about 120 questions and about 25-30 were sata. how long do you have to wait to try the pv trick? is four hours after taking the test to soon? my appt history says delivery successful and i am getting the good pop-up. does this mean i passed???

i believe you passed. i tried the trick twice, i took nclex-rn in december and it let me go put credit card info, then 2 days later found out i failed, through quick result, took the nclex-rn again last may 12, 2011, im afraid to do the trick again but i still did it anyway as soon i got home, but my profile says, "ready for delivery" and gives me pop up but in different wording like "the candidate has an open registration for this exam, a new registration cannot be created at this time" so i have to wait like 2 hours and when i saw the status that says " delivery successful " i tried the trick again and still getting the same pop up... after 30 mins i tried the trick again and ecstatic when i got the good pop up they are talking about "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." after 2 days , 49 hours exactly after i sit for the exam and i saw the word "pass" through quick result.... relax now i believe you pass. :yeah::nurse:

Took NCLEX yesterday for the first time. I took 75 questions in just under 2 hours (really took my time!) Left the test feeling like crap. Tried the trick after reading about it here about 6 hours after my test and got the good pop up! I felt so much relief when I saw that! I still haven't gotten my quick results but I'm not going to. I saw on my SBON's site that I passed and I even called them to verify!! I'm officially an RN! Good luck to y'all!

BTW I had at least 20 SATA's, 2 math questions, and about 6 prioritizing and 3 delegating questions...and the rest were random questions that I felt at the time were lower level but was still unsure of the answers...

Hi All! I feel a need to comment on this thread and share my story, so others like me can feel reassured after taking the NCLEX :)

I felt very confident going into the NCLEX since I had been scoring consistently high on predictor exams, ATI exams, etc. and I had done relatively well in my program. However, when I took the NCLEX, I left there in tears convinced I had completely bombed it and questioning what I had learned in the program!

I did not get a single med calculation, hot spot question, audio question or anything like that, and the test stopped at 75 questions in 50 minutes (including tutorial, exit survey and test). Needless to say, I knew I failed. There were tons of select all that apply and I did not feel confident.

I got home and read all on the blogs about the Pearsonvue trick because the ATI instructor had told us about it. I was hesitant, partially because I was terrified and also because I did not want to give myself false reassurance.

I couldn't resist and I received the infamous "good pop-up". Literally, I checked the pop-up about every waking hour for the next 48 hours.

I live in NYS and Friday by noon my name was on the NYS BON site with a license number - I PASSED!! :w00t:

Still not convinced (for some reason), I waited for the option to check my Quick Results (which I understand not every state has) and paid the $7.95 to just confirm I had passed and I had.

Obviously, I can't say it is 100% accurate, but add me to the list of people who can say the Pearson trick worked for them!

Good luck to all you other future nurses who are anxiously reading this awaiting your results!! I wish you all the best!! :D

In regards to the "good pop up" I did not get to the credit card page but a pop up came up in red saying "your exam results are not available at this time" Is this good or bad?

Took the NCLEX PN yesterday and I got the good pop up. The PVT worked 3 times for my friend. I have not seen one post that the trick failed them....so I am so HAPPYYYYY!!! I will let you all know if it worked for me.

You have to wait to do the pop up until on pearson vue it says "results delivered" or "delivery successful" something like that. Then you can do the pop up.

Sooooo anyone know if the "trick" works if you have your test on a Saturday, too? Does it matter if it was on the weekend?
