I just recently took my RN NCLEX exam on January 24th and tried the trick after 24 hours had passed and unfortunately it let me pay again so I thought I had failed but wasn't for sure. The next day (after 48 hrs) I paid for the quick results and did fail. Before I got my quick results, I spent hours on this site searching to see if the trick had really worked for those people who it DID let pay again and did not receive the "good pop up". So, long story short, this pearson vue trick DOES work. All my friends who it did not let pay again passed.
Good luck and let me know if you have any questions!
okay u should drop the attitude. Clearly not all of us know to wait 24 hours, hence why i didn't.
You must forget the feeling walking out and wanting to know if you passed.
You were just quite rude to the one poster who goes out of her way to help students with their post test anxiety by consistently replying to these queries and by providing numerous detailed posts on how to execute "the trick" so that no one is out $200, incorrectly thinks they passed, or incorrectly thinks they failed. Now it appears that you are perpetuating bad information by reporting that numerous people in your cohort got the good pop up after only 15 minutes.
The reason you should wait 24 hours is that the exam is scored twice, once immediately and then a second time to confirm; this fact is in the testing information provided by Pearson Vue. Many people get the "good pop up" 15 minutes after the test and then the result changes with the second scoring. This can happen if the tester was on the cusp of passing or if there was some other ambiguity. Since over 80% of testers pass the first time, it stands to reason that many who attempt re-registration too soon will not suffer the consequences of that choice. That said, there is still a possibility of the result changing within that first 24 hours, and many people have posted here that they have been charged $200 only to find that they actually passed. These charges are non-refundable.
Many regular posters here take time out to respond to the daily onslaught of PVT posts because they are genuinely trying to be supportive and are hoping that they may save someone a considerable chunk of change and undue anxiety. Attacking them is not only in poor taste it is misdirected; they've done nothing to deserve the ire of a poster who doesn't like their advice.
This is a glitch in the Pearson Vue registration software and no matter how many anecdotal reports are out there, people still shouldn't give it too much credence. It is neither standardized nor prophetic. Either pay for the quick results or if in a state that does not participate, wait for official notification. There's nothing you can do to hasten the true results, and becoming wildly anxious does no one any good, nor will it alleviate the regret of failing. For those who choose to try the trick, the posters here simply want to make sure that they provide accurate, consistent information that will yield the best results possible and hopefully prevent some of the issues I detailed above.

Ok, there is no need for that at all. @rnsarewe was just trying to help other students. It has been mentioned a ton of times that you shouldn't do it until after 24 hr. In your case, you got the good pop up then you didn't afterwards. A perfect example of why you shouldn't, which is why you were used as an example. Attitude, I sense not. If you are upset that she referred to you as an example, then that would be silly, as you willingly posted it on a public forum. Otherwise I don't sense any attitude.
And it perplexs me why you didn't research on the method before doing it. I mean I certainly did. After all, it seems like something important enough to research on first.
No one is denying it's hard to wait, but to suggest that they forgot what's it like to walk out after the nclex is just petulance speaking.Just because she gave sound advice, doesn't mean that she doesn't remember what it's like. Hey, I give advice to young kids and caution them on making bad choices but that doesn't mean I forgot what it's like to be young. It simply means I'm being the voice of reason and guidance.

And clearly you are someone who posts messages without having READ any. Otherwise, you would have seen roughly a MILLION posts on this subject, where SO MANY have learned what you did not, and didn't make the mistakes you did, BECAUSE they read this info....and didn't then come here saying "why didn't this work?!" And you wouldn't be sniping at ME, because I have managed to help those who seek it. And some who didn't seek it, LOL....but figured it out anyway
Yeesh.
To those who have appreciated what they've read here, my humble thanks :)
A bunch of my classmates did the trick 15 mins after the test and it worked for them..
And you STILL don't understand how this scoring system works. And neither do they. But since you don't like my "attitude" I imagine you won't like actually learning something from anything I've written, so.....lots of luck to ya.
