Pearson Vue Trick as of August 2015

Published

So this is my second time taking the NCLEX RN exam and the first time I tried the PVT and got the credit card declined message which was heartbreaking especially after taking the entire 265 questions. Sure enough two days later I got the quick results with a big FAT FAIL. I just took the boards today August 15th 2015 and immediately check d the PVT as I had an accurate instance last time but this time I got the good message or popup. Of course I am still paranoid so I am waiting for the 24 hour deadline before I check again then I'm gonna check the unofficial results at the 48hour mark. I have been checking non stop almost every hour since I completed the exam and keep getting no the good pop up. I will keep everyone updated.

Good luck to you! But as someone who has spent quite a bit of time following NCLEX (and PVT, by consequence) I can tell you that if you continue to try to register every hour you are only increasing the likelihood that Pearson Vue takes you up on your offer and snags your money. WHETHER OR NOT YOU PASSED.

You have to go through two screens agreeing that the charge is completely non-refundable; if they do a test charge and it goes through, you just donated two hundred bucks. Before you ask, YES, it has happened.

Your test won't change no matter what you do. You either passed or failed. The only smart move you can do at this point is to pay the eight bucks for the ACCURATE results via Quick Results. Anything else is futile .....and potentially very expensive.

Hang in there!

Understood!! I'm just going to check again at the 24 hour mark tomorrow then just wait for the unofficial results on Monday. I'm not using a valid card so they really couldn't charge me it would just get declined if anything. Appreciate the advice and am noting it.

Why check again if you know you're going to get declined d/t using an invalid card? Just wait it out until Monday, you can do it & good luck!

You just said you got a fail. Just wait it out until Monday. Listen to what RNsRWe said, she is very knowledgeable on the subject. ?

I'm talking about my second attempt this time (today), I checked using an invalid cc and got the good pop up... The first time I took the nclex (back in June) it didn't matter if I used a valid or invalid cc it always came up declined...

My friend took her exam last week and when she did the trick it went to the cc page. She was devastated. The next day she found out she passed. Its not always 100% accurate

Everyone goes to the credit card page pass or fail since August 2014. To tempt fate you must enter payment information to see if it lets you register to guess if you pass or fail

Cambrose, you now know the risks. You're old enough to be getting a license, so the choice to do the game or not is yours... Good luck!
