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

I was a complete unbeliever of this trick. I took my test on Thursday and it shut off at 75 questions. I got a lot of SATA ... priority and one math question..I was absolutely convinced I had failed. I never did well on the SATA during school. After I took the test, I found out about this trick and tried a couple of hours after taking the test and got the so called "good pop up"....I read almost all of the entries that dated back to a few year ago..and saw how people sweared by it, however I still did not believe it and thought I would be the exception.....However, I found out this am that I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!so it is true lol

I am finally an RN....GOD IS FAITHFUL!!!!!

Hi, I recently took my exam on Saturday. I tried to do the trick and it took me straight to the credit card screen. I went all the way to 265 questions. Is it safe to say that if I did pass I would not be allowed to register to take another exam?

I took it yesterday. It was one of the hardest things I have ever gone through. Nothing in school prepared me for what I experienced yesterday. The q's I had were absolutely not level entry nursing. Meds I didn't know, complex procedures way beyond my years. I did not take a review course as I heard mixed reviews from the previous class about the one at my school. I made the right decision not taking it, as a majority of my classmates said it was useless and a waste of money. I read the whole Kaplan 2010-2011 book, did Saunders, Lacharity, Nclex 3500 and NCSBN questions.

I stopped at 75 q's yesterday. I took my time, to say the least. It took me about 2.5 hours with a break. No messing around. I had to use all my might to hold in the tears as soon as the blue screen popped up. Not one second after I exited the building, I started bawling my eyes out uncontrollably. Putting your whole heart into school and into this exam, and thinking you failed miserably is one of the worst feelings in the world. I just felt numb the whole rest of the night with this sinking feeling in my gut that I failed. The stress gave me the worst migraine ever. I talked to a couple friends who had already taken it and passed. They made me a feel a bit better saying that If I thought the questions were that hard, then I must have been answering them at a level where I was "above the line."

I tried the PVT last night and the site was under maintenance (obviously, with my luck). So I made myself a drink and watched The Hangover. I needed to laugh in the worst way!

I just tried again after making sure it said delivery successful. I got a pop-up and it wouldn't let me go to the credit card page. It wasn't the exact same wording as on page 1 of this thread but it said:

"The candidate currently has an open registration for this exam. A new registration cannot be created at this time."

Is that the "good" one even though its not the same exact wording as on page 1 under the instructions??

Hey, I posted the other day about my daughter and I taking our NCLEX on Friday. We went on Pearson vue and tried to register again after the test was over and both of us got the famous good pop up. Well, we just got our quick results and sure enough we both passed our state boards. For anyone doubting whether the results using the PVT are accurate, I am telling you now that it really does work. If you are not able to register again, you passed. If it takes you to the credit card screen, sad to say but you failed. Take it from two Mississippi nursing students who just got their results. We got the good pop up and we passed. Yay!

i got the bad pop up today so sad:( it really sucks im starting to feel like im not meant to be a nurse

this was copied and pasted from the instructions. hope this helps.

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.

It does *not* mean you are not meant to be a nurse - if you failed, the worst case scenario is that you wait 45 days, pay another $200 (sucks, I know...) and take it again. The passing rate for the second time around is much, much higher than it is for first-time test takers. Check out this thread: Help! Just found out I failed NCLEX-RN - Nursing for Nurses

Good luck - and remember that you ARE meant to be a nurse. There is a reason why you pursued this...passing or failing the NCLEX has nothing to do with how smart you are or how excellent a nurse one will be. It's simply strategy and a whole lot of luck. You can and will do this!

Ahhh!! I don't want to rely on the PVT until I actually see the word "PASS." I must have done that darn PVT about 6 times today already & each time I get the popup with "The candidate currently has an open registration for this exam. A new registration cannot be created at this time." But it doesn't say the "contact your board" or whatever, so I am worried about that. But I am hopeful, which is a huge difference from yesterday. I keep checking the Pearson site to see if the Quick Results are up yet. No dice. I also tried the 1-900 number but it says it is "no longer in service." I don't know why I did this to myself, taking the exam on a Saturday! Arrrggghhhh!!!!

Plus I just noticed that my status says: "ready for delivery" not "delivery successful"

Now I am freaking out.

I took my exam 7/15 had 75 questions. After the exam I knew I failed, drugs never seen before, random questions, SATA's. So I found out about the PVT from my friend later on that night. I still refused to look because I was so scared, so finally friday around 5pm I looked and I got the 'good pop up', I still didn't believe it. I discovered this site on Sat and was being to get convinced it worked. Today I decided to pay the $7.95 and I PASSED!!!! The PVT trick work, so far 100% for all my classmates that have passed. I'm still in shock that I passed, I even printed the paper off pearson saying I passed

I feel the same way about failing....yet again. this was my 3rd time, although i consider it my second. now i feel like i will never pass because there system just already thinks i'm stupid! another 45 days but what do i do.....just keep trying? i felt so different this time i thought i passed! i had 75 ques the first times so i obviously did horrible. this time i had 175! my quick results are ready now but i dont want to pay since i am not getting the good pop up!

Yay! Paid for quick results! PVT trick worked for me :)
