Anything is possible especially since you submitted twice. A select few have paid when they did the "trick" before 24hrs was up and subsequently passed. They donated $200 to Pearson as there are no refunds. It is not common.
i should be getting my results this week in the mail, its been a while i took the test and im stressed out, i cant even try the pvt trick again since i submitted a payment and if i try to do it again it says i already have an open registration .

Unfortunately, you did exactly what we counsel people here against, which is doing the PVT prematurely. Pure waste of time and money.
There is nothing you can do at this point but wait. As an FYI, you SHOULD have waited 24 hours before trying the PVT; you doing it five minutes post test only means you paid $200 because your first scoring was a 'fail'. Your second scoring might also be a fail, in which case you won't be out any extra money. But if your second score is a 'pass'....you'll be happy you passed but unhappy you threw $200 in the toilet.
The likelihood is that you failed; MOST of the time both sets of scores match and what you see initially is what you get. Good luck.
thankss i feel worse now
