Pearson Vue Trick.. Does it actually work?

[eva1228]

hi everyone,

So, I really want to know if this trick really works? I mean my reviewer said it does but is there a chance that it actually doesn't work?

I took the NCLEX this morning, my 3rd try actually. I have studied for months and took review classes and have read saunders, kaplan, and did the lippincott questions. I thought i was doing well. I waited a few hours to see if I can do the Pearson Vue trick. Hoping and praying it would give me that little pop-up that everyone wants to see but it sent me straight to the CC page. Same thing happened to my mom and brother, who also took it today. I guess I'm hoping that for once the trick had a little glitch today... But as before i'm not going to stop even if it takes 50 exams until i pass, i'll keep taking it.. as they say

Never give up Eva. You fight until you pass the NCLEX and be a great Nurse. Remember, the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong but to those who endures to the end.

I am so sorry you didn't get it this time but I love your attitude! NEVER GIVE UP! You are going to be a great nurse.

This one test does not define who you are as a nurse. It is just one last test you must take to get to the end of your

long journey of becoming a licensed nurse. You will do this. Time is on your side!

I'm hoping there is a glitch bc the same thing happened to me a week ago! i took it and i felt very confident going through the exam. it was my 2nd attempt and i got the "test is on hold" pop up for the first whole day then got the cc page..

still waiting on the results. will pray we both passed!

It's not so much the tools used to study with... it's whether the person is using the tool effectively or not. I suggest you wait for the CPR to arrive, see where you were lacking, and the like. Depending upon how many questions you had, you could have been close to pass/fail. It could be in how you approach the questions, process them, and answer them instead of content itself. If the CPR says you were near passing standard in all or most categories, this is likely the issue.

Yes, the PVT is pretty accurate. There's a very small number of people whose results will flip, but those folks will likely be very, very close to the pass/fail line that the 2nd (definitive) scoring might differ from the initial scoring. For the vast majority of people, the PVT is quite accurate, and probably effectively 100% so if the exam shuts off at or very near the minimum number of questions.

When you prepare for your next attempt, prepare to do the full 265 and 6 hours. Just expect that you'll go the full distance because you could be randomly selected to do it. Make sure you read the questions and look for key phrases and words that can change the answer. You don't want to misread a question and answer it the way that you thought it was because that will not be the correct answer. Read it again and look at those answers and see if something possibly fits. Then if you think you have a good answer that fits what the question is looking for, chances are you're good to go. Select it and move on. The only question that matters is the one you have in front of you because you must answer the question to move on. You have 6 hours to complete the exam. You can take the time to analyze the question and figure out what it's asking you with respect to the answers presented. Don't over-think it. Just take the time you need to analyze the question properly, select an appropriate answer, and move on. There will be questions you have no idea about. That's the way this exam is made... and it'll find your limits.

thanks for the advice.. same thing my reviewer saif, and thats what she tried helping me to do because on my 2nd try all content were near passing standard, so it was my technique that needed work. I wad preparing to do all 265 questions thats what ive been doing the oass few weeks, taking each comprehensive test i could find. i guess i just need more practice.
