Quick results or Pearson Trick?

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I am taking the NCLEX in MI next week. Do I pay for the quick results or just try the pearson trick? How long do I have to wait to do either?

Luckyluv, under the circumstances - I'd just wait and pay for the quick results when they pop up. Evidently, it's not working the way it did.

I did the Pearson Trick about 30 minutes after I took the test. According to it, I had passed. I then chose to pay to get my quick results which also said I had passed. Everyone that I know who did the Pearson Trick AND passed NCLEX got the same results. Hasn't failed yet...

Good luck! :yeah:

Quick results are unofficial results and official results will be issued by the BON. Congrats:yeah:

doesn't always work. i took the test recently, did the trick and didn't get the pop up. needless to say i was devasted and couldn't sleep. I kept wondering what I did wrong. two days later, I actually went to face the FAIL that I thought I got but ended up seeing PASS. so unless you want to give yourself an anxiety attack when you don't see what you're expecting to see, don't do the trick. just save yourself from all the stress.

I hope this post will help a few nervous soon to be nurses.

My experience and findings on the pearson vue trick are as follows:

I took the Nclex in Texas for the first time on Thursday morning 8:00AM and finished the test at roughly 10:00AM. The computer stopped at 77 questions. I got lots of SATA's, obscure drugs with unknown side effects, obscure diseases that I knew by name only, difficult therapeutic communication questions, and lots of priority questions that seemed extremely similar. I did not feel confident in a passing grade. But in my HESI experience, that feeling did not mean much. I usually aced every HESI with a 90-101%(1000-1150 or so) and only twice did I come anywhere near a low B (850). But my thoughts were the same as almost every post that I have seen on this board...(I either aced it or failed it miserably). Hesi and Nclex tests are tricky and results can fall either way easily in my opinion.

So I did lots of searches on 77 Questions and obtaining quicker results...and what happens if the 48 hours falls on a Saturday with a holiday on Monday. Lots of unknown parameters..sigh.

I did the pearson trick and got the following "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." I spoke to a lady at a Pearonson vue testing facility and she recommended the pearson trick to me..lol.

It is now 8:00AM on Saturday morning. I expect to see results at 10:00 AM which will be exactly 48 hours after finishing. The suspense is killing me....

It is now 8:10AM (48 hours after my start time) and my results are available. I paid my money and the unofficial results are: Pass. Thank you Lord for all of Your Blessings. All Glory to HIM!!!

I just celebrated briefly with my parents and praised HIM. But now I will finish this post :)

So what the facts are indicating to me are as follows:

The trick worked with my experience.

The pearson vue computer system does know if you passed or failed immediately.

The 48 hour waiting period is a cruel waiting period probably designed to give pearson vue time for corrections and technical problems if needed.

There is not a person on the other end inputing a pass of fail status, but it is in fact automated so the 48 hours in business days does not apply unless errors are encountered.

Holidays will not matter for the above reason as well.

You can pass with 77 questions.

Quick results are available 48 Hours from the start of your exam time.

Hope this helps someone. God Bless!

pyakRN,

I was wondering how soon did you wait to do the the trick after you took your NCLEX? I hope im in the same boat with you cuz im tired of studying :yawn: I did the trick midnight on Friday stopped @ 85 no math or alt Qs ...obviously i got the cc page(did it @ least 3xs) and im depress jus thinking bout it :sniff:

I waited about about 2 hours to do the trick. I did it about 10 times to really make sure its where it wanted to take me. My friend kept telling me I was crazy and to just wait for the results but I already lost hope. It never worked for me, kept taking me to the CC part so I thought I was done. I'm in New York and I took the NCLEX-RN. I got all 265 questions and lost hope at about question 180. I got a few alternative questions, I got a picutre of a skin disease, a progress note and an EKG. I also got many questions repeated. Once they repeated more than one question I thought that was it, I was failing...and the last question i had already gotten as well. I studied every day for one month and did about 150+ questions plus content daily...enough to make me lose my mind, but I kept a positive attitude. I kept telling everyone that I already passed the nclex before i even took it :D. When I got to the test, i lost all the positivity which i shouldn't have but everything about the test lead me to believe that I failed it so I didn't linger I just accepted that I failed and study again. So it was much surprise to me to see that I had passed instead of failed. I don't think that you should rely on this trick. Just stay positive, before during and after the test. With a positive attitude comes positive results regardless of the outcome. If this is what you really want to do, don't give up, you WILL get there! I hope this helps you out!

I did the PVT then quick results !!! I wasn't going to pay 10 dollars to find out that I failed.

I took my nclex today and I did the pearson trick on my iphone after i got out and I got the POP UP....then an hour after I had a friend check it again while I was driving and its letting me PAY AGAIN...WHATS GOING ON? SO NERVOUS!

I took the test on Tuesday and stopped at 85. I did the trick and it would not let me sign up for another exam. Well I paid that $7.95 and guess what???? I PASSSSSSSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So the trick does work! :yeah:
