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

Hi, can anyone tell me if I will get the 48 hour quick result on a Saturday morning??? Or do I get to wait til the next "business" day?? Waiting is killing me!

The PVT works. I took my exam on Wednesday and have been trying the "trick" up until this morning. The pop-up was always good. It calmed my nerves a lil bit, but of course it's nothing like seeing the word PASS. But after I paid my $8 my nerves calmed and I'm officially an RN! Good luck to all those who are waiting for the official results!

Yep, it absolutely works!! I am now a Registered Nurse! Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!! Believe it-it's real!:redpinkhe

Took my test did the trick got the good pop up and yesterday got my letter stating I passed. It worked.:clown:

I took my NCLEX RN yesterday at noon, and when the screen went blank after 75 questions, I immediatly felt sick to my stomach! I did not think I passed, because I had TONS of SATA and random drug questions and I guessed on so many! But as soon as I got home I did the PVT and got the good pop up! I still havent gotten my results yet but this trick has given me peace of mind this weekend!:)

hey congrats on passing!

.. as i'm reading and searching for the pearsonvue trick.. a lot of you are saying it works.

however, i'm wondering how long do you have to wait til you can try the trick?? --i just took the boards less than 2hrs ago and i tried the trick, i said "yes" to i've previously taken the test (assuming i failed this one) and answered everything else, as soon i tried "next" a pop-up appeared and said i couldnt register again b/c i just recently took the test... is this the "good sign"?! or should i wait a few more hrs/day?

HELP! and thanks in advance :)

i had a bunch of SATA, meds, and priority Q's! i stopped at 75 as well, that test was horribly difficult --i wanted to cry :( anyways, did you pass wannabenurse?!!!?

Ok..I took the NCLEX yesterday and i got 136 questions. This was my second attempt. I went home to try the PVT and I got the message that said "the candidate currently has test results that are on hold. A new registration cannot be created at this time". I know that this is the message that doesn't mean anything, but I have read older posts and it seems that this message goes away after a couple hours and they get either the "good" pop up or go to the cc page. I am freaking out because I cannot go the whole weekend not knowing, and my pop up isn't changing? Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks!

Good luck with your official results.

Because you are asking about the 'trick' I am merging this with the existing thread. There are a few posts discussing the hold message especially in the first part of the thread and link to that can be found on the first post of this thread

There are 2 kinds of pop up that will not allow you to reregister... Which one did you get?

when I got home, I tried the PVT trick at first I got the: There's an open registration at this time, registration at this point is not allowed...:crying2:

Hi! I took the test yesterday. When I got home (after 5 hours) I tried the PVT after I verified that delivery is successful... I received the pop up which says that I cannot re-register and to contact my BON. I WAS a believer of PVT trick because of what I read from several websites but it feels so different when it is you, checking your own exam result. Do you guys think I pass???? I mean I really am confused right now....:confused:
