Hi all,
I know this is one of several questions of the same nature, but I just took the NCLEX yesterday in San Francisco. We don't have quick results, so I'm just going to wait to see if my name shows up on a license search.
I looked into the pearsonvue trick before and after I took the test and I read that it's not always accurate so I told myself I wasn't going to try it. 26 hours after my test, I caved in lol. I got the "good pop up" but I don't want to get excited yet because I've read that it's not always right!!
I will keep looking my name up on California's license search. But has anyone heard of a false positive on the pearsonvue trick??

Well, I took my NCLEX three days ago. I was SURE I failed, but got the good pop-up. Turns out, I passed with 80 questions .
But I'm still pretty skeptical of the "Pearson Vue Trick". You can look up the pass rates for the NCLEX - 89.2% for 2018 so far. Of the remaining 10.75%, how many of them, do you suppose, feel like logging on to talk about how the trick failed them, after every person was congratulating them that they "definitely passed"? So, I'm still skeptical, but I have no proof either way - take comfort however you can. It is SO stressful.
I will say, on my state's licensing board (NC), my 'pending' license listing changed: as soon as my quick results were available, the text changed to "(final approval)", as seen here:
I'm not sure how it looks where you are. I paid for my quick results anyway, because I wanted to be sure....but I'm pretty sure I wasted my money. The text changed at the same time I passed - others have said that when their quick results became available and they failed, their pending listing on their state board's website vanished.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! I've never had test anxiety in my life, but I got my first taste of it on the NCLEX - that thing is a beast.
Congratulations on passing!! It's so frustrating that California doesn't have quick results! I have test taking anxiety and I thought I'd be able to relax after taking the test, but waiting for results might be even worse! lol
Monday night after NCLEX on Wednesday. Still waiting!
I passed! Found out early Wednesday morning - one week
