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.

No, that's not true. Many times the state boards can take up to a week to post the results. Sometimes longer. My results STILL haven't been posted by the state board, however I paid for the quick results and got them on Friday. I called my BON to ask when my license would be posted and they told me it could take 1-3wks before they get to it because they are short staffed. PearsonVue releases your results by computer 48hrs after the exam.. it doesn't matter that they aren't open because it's computer generated.. You'll see.. you'll have your results TODAY :):lol2:

Took my NCLEX RN on Saturday... Took me about an hour to get to 75... Computer shut off.... i was a wreck afterwards... I had a lot of SATA and who do you see first questions... i think i had 10 or so in a row that who is priority or what is priority... Hopefully that is a good thing... Rushed home after an hour... Delivery was stressful it stated on pearsons website so i decided to try the PVT.... I received the good pop up... I wont find out until monday my results.... and its my first day in the ICU...... lets just say my mind will be a mess until i find out..

GOD i hope a passed!!!! Anyone hear of some one using the PVT and received the good pop up but failed???

I know what I think doesn't matter in your time of anxiety.. but I am 100% confident you passed!!

I find myself doing the PVT over and over to see if it changes and i dont get the pop up... i need to go to the gym or something and stop thinking about it!!!

I've never seen any one say that it has changed after initially getting the pop up.. you passed!

I took my nclex today and about 30min - 1 hour after the exam and i decided to try this little trick......I get a pop-up!!!! still freaking out:(

Does your test say "successfully delivered"

Does your pop up say "...contact member board for more information"?

If so, you passed!

I just took my NCLEX-RN yesterday at 1 pm, and have been checking the PVT constantly since taking the test and keep getting the "candidate has results on hold message". I had the min. amount of questions (75), and took like thirty-forty minutes to take the test.

I have been going stir-crazy since taking the test, and am not even sure when my quick results will be availible (I'm in Iowa). Do they count Sundays? Will they be availible on Monday at 1p, or not until Tues or Wed? Or will they take even longer due to the hold? And has anyone gotten the hold message and still failed?

Just looking for some help here :(

Just hoping someone's been in the same boat as I am in.... :S

Has anyone ever gotten the "results on hold" popup? My state participates in quick results, but I wonder if the results on hold is going to make it so I don't get my results tomorrow at 1? Took my test yesterday (Sat) at 1p.
