Do the pearson vue trick that may calm you down, or will prepare you in case the news are not good.

I have tried but guess I am unsureof how to do it. I tried to re-register and it says that I already have an account and would have to update my profile to continue, which I try but it has frozen on me three times when I try that. I tried to go to 'schedule a test' and it just takes me back to my account....

Okay, when I click on register on the left side, it says I need to update my profile in order to continue, in which there is a link to click on. I click on the link and when I go to fill in the information, it freezes every time....is that a bad sign that it takes me to that screen?

Maybe print the exact directions and go through each step slowly, sometimes when you're nervous you skip things...maybe that is what is happening here. I do not think the computer freezing is indication of bad or good news. Good Luck!

It is hard waiting for results..but hang in there! I took mine on Monday and only had 75 questions...I was sure I didn't pass and didn't even want to do the Quick results to only find out that I failed...but I passed! Let us know how you did. I will say a prayer for you.

SusanneCollins13 · Sep 3, 2009

Could it be your computer? Maybe you could try someone elses computer. I am not sure why it does that to you. Hmm, sorry that I could not help you. However, you are obviously going to find out real soon. I do not think that this clitche with your computer has anything to do with your pass or fail. Just weired that it does that, but dont look at that as a bad sign.

Quick results would tell me wether I passed or failed though right? Would it take longer if I failed? It seems like if I did fail, I must've failed bad to have done it in only 75 questions, so why would the results take so long? I know I am being very anxious but it is soo hard to wait.
