NCLEX "OCTOBER 13, 2015 Pearson Vue trick.Good popup vs Bad

[nurse pocahontas]

Hello everyone! I Just took the NCLEX yesterday on OCTOBER 13, 2015 for the 2nd time. The first time I took the NCLEX was July 31, 2015 i had all 265 questions! I AM currently a LPN and passed the NCLEX on 85 questions the first time. I studied so much and kept postponing the test which was a huge mistake. My advice is do not wait set that date ASAP and go for it. When the computer went pass 75 than 107 than 200 than all the way 265 my mind was not prepared and I gave up on July 31. When I went home I tried the Pearson trick and received the credit card page. Yesterday I took it again I took it again and received 265 questions again I stopped halfway through the test and took a break and said to myself you habe came to far to give up now i went back in and answered the remaining questions positively unlike I did when I gave up the first time. WJEN arrived home i received the good pop up. I tried a 1000 times over the last 30 hours. so tomorrow I will find out my quick results will let you know my progress!

To those who believe that someone who has recently "tried the trick" is more of an 'expert', if you will, than those who have followed the course of NCLEX changes and Pearson Vue changes over the last ten years, I'd have to say that would be an incorrect assumption.

Over the last ten years, people here have been able to query what they did, how they did it, and the results obtained. NEW people who have only posted a few times and have not read more than a handful of threads on the topic going back no more than a few pages could, indeed, feel that they have enough knowledge to properly direct those who are less informed. Alas, the ones who are themselves ill-informed sometimes do perpetuate myths and rumors and gossip that only serve to hurt the greater good.

For those who are willing to listen, you should know that what is known as the PVT has, more often then not, served as a good guess on how a candidate did on the test (pass or fail). HOWEVER, those of us following this saga for the last 14 months since Pearson Vue last updated its registration software....and the last six months in particular.....know that the reliability has fallen further and further from what it once was.

There was a time when someone getting "the good pop up" hardly ever had the misfortune of getting a "failed" letter in the mail. It wasn't 100%, but it was a pretty good bet! Very recently, however, it's anything BUT a safe bet. NOW....the only way to play the game is to enter a valid credit card and see what happens. Test charges are made by PV from time to time; it's random. People HAVE BEEN CHARGED $200 only to find out that they passed (and the money is non-refundable). Those who feel they outsmarted the system by using a card without a balance of funds available are subject to the same "card declined" message that would indicate a charge was attempted, but failed to go through. Yep, they saved the non-refundable fee (yay!) but unfortunately now have no clue if they failed (and that's why the charge attempt was made) or if they passed (and they are now waiting...hysterical ...with nowhere to go but crazy).

Remember it's a game, a guessing game Magic 8-Ball style. And put no more faith in it than that :)

I called no one any names...not one. I described YOU as rude, which is true. Doesn't make it "name calling", it makes it an appropriate adjective.

Carry on if you must, but this has grown tiresome. I think I'll be enacting the "ignore member" feature available on this site :)
