Part 1 (the original thread)--
Pearsonvue "Trick". Is this TRUE? Does it Work Every Time?
Poll to take once you have received your response--
Pearson Vue Trick - Poll once you receive your results
Here are the exact steps to see if you passed or failed the NCLEX exam on the pearson vue web site:
1) go to http://www.vue.com/NCLEX.
2) select the 'test taker services' tab at the top.
3) click 'register' on the right side.
4) click the 'credit card' link.
5) click the 'sign in' link in the second sentence.
6) enter your username.
7) enter your password.
? click the button.
9) click 'register' on the left side.
10) select your test type.
11) click the button.
12) select your country.
13) click the button.
14) answer the yes/no questions.
15) select your country again.
16) select your state.
17) type in your city.
18) click the button. a list of schools should appear.
19) select your school.
20) select the month and year of your graduation.
21) select your board of nursing.
22) click the button.
Very important: at this point, if you get a pop up that says 'the candidate currently has test results that are on hold. a new registration cannot be created at this time.', it has nothing to do with passing or failing; It just means that they are reviewing your records due to random reviews that they conduct, or because they needed to locate some data or papers, etc. This means you will possibly have to wait a few more days than your friends who did not get this message. If you get the message 'our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your member board for further assistance. another registration cannot be made at this time.', that means you passed. If you do not get either message and go straight to the credit card information page, that means you did not pass.
Your pearsonvue account must state that delivery is successful before you try the trick
so far it seems to be accurate huh? Should I be confident that I passed?
I am trying to be. As far as I know from searching, only one person claimed to get the good pop-up and failed, but if you read the tone of the post, it seems they were just trying to be a party pooper. There are over 5000 posts on this very subject and I started reading about it way before I graduated. All my friend have passed with the good pop up. Horror-scope says...outlook is good! Let you know as soon as I see my name!
HI, I tested this morning, shut off at 75 , got the Good Pop-Up from PVT just 5 hours later. Nothing yet on the State site except for my original LPN license. OMG! Can I dare to believe it is true? From your survey, what is the percentage of people who have had confirmation PVT to BON? Thank you!
The "trick" says I have passed, but I am having a hard time believing it. I don't even want to get excited until it's confirmed. My test shut off after 77 questions, and I honestly guessed on most of it. I only knew maybe 3 of the questions!! I had a ton of "select all apply", prioritizing, and drug questions. Drugs I've never even heard of, and without a hint of the disease it was for.
That was a nightmare. I wasn't even beating myself up thinking I failed because I did my best. I have studied so much I don't know what else I could've done to prepare for that. However, now that this "trick" is saying I passed, I am going to be SUPER disappointed and crushed if I did fail.
I guess I'm going to continue to pray that I passed.

YES!!! Congrats. I know it makes you feel a little better, getting the good pop up. I had 75 questions and when that computer shut off, I was pretty sure I failed. I mean, really, I felt like I guessed on most of them. I suppose they were "educated" guesses. I am still waiting to see my name on the board website-I am in CA. No quick results. Pretty sure it takes a couple of days.
