I was wondering if I could look up future testing dates without having to pay on their website for an exam? Pearson vue is very difficult to get through to ask questions. I logged in and somehow not able to find this out or ask anyone. I'm trying to look at test dates and coincide with my pay periods before I pay. Appreciate any help on this.

What do test dates have to do with your pay periods? Register and pay the fee when it fits into your other bills. Besides, you pay by credit card which has it's own due date.
I'm doing excelsior college so I'm paying to take the exams with my own money. If somehow I can get a look at the openings maybe I can pay for it out of whichever paycheck I can, jiggle some things around etc.. Don't assume how i'm paying it could be by my bank debit card which comes out of my account immediatly. I have bills like everyone else and trying to get a jump start on my test dates and when to pay for them.

You have to pay $200 to register for NCLEX first, but even after paying, you still cannot view future testing dates unless you receive ATT (authorization to test) from the board of nursing (of the state in which you apply to be licensed). Board of nursing sends att to Pearson vue and Pearson will notify you. Hope this answered your question? So you can pay whenever you’re ready and then pick testing date as soon as ATT comes out
Thank you shamadi for your comment, I really appreciate it. I did find out you gotta pay before you can view any test dates. It just sucks that way but I don't make their rules so....
