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

thanks!! i keep redoing it too..... i wanna run around and tell everyone but im waiting for my offical results for that.

The GOOD POP UP works!!!!!!! It takes a little longer on the weekend, but It came thru!! YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I know its awful isnt it!!!

I want to call everyone......but cant!!!!

Just an update, I just checked the BON website and I have an RN licence!! The PVT trick works!!

YOU PASSED! CONGRATS! CELEBRATE! I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT EITHER UNTIL MY DAY OF AUGUST 22, 2010!:dancgrp:

i'm seriously praying that i did pass! i'm so nervous, all this waiting is driving me insane. i woke up today thinking i failed b/c i got A LOT of med and SATA q's...that can't be good, plus a lot of priority...

CONGRATS! GOOD luck with the official, but it looks good if you got the 'good-pop up'!

hi, i have just formed this account to specifically let everyone know that the pvt "trick" does work! i just took the nclex this past thursday 09/09/10 and it stopped at 75 questions.

i kid you not, i swore to every person i could talk to that i failed-i was told about the trick......i promise you i am the biggest skeptic in the world of these types of things, but it was true...48 hrs later i had passed!

i am a true believer in this not only because of my experience but i have a friend who is a repeat taker and told her about the "trick" and she was sent to the payment page and i am so very sorry to say that she has failed.

people, future nurses, i know how just ridiculous the "trick" seems, especially after you feel like all hope has been lost....but please believe if you get "the good pop-up".

i never post things online and i know that none of you know me but i really thought that this was so important that i would have to post this and really confirm that this thing is for real.

:monkeydance:thanks for reading and good luck on your future endeavors! :monkeydance:

I also created an account specifically to comment on this after being a crazy lurker and practically reading every thread LOL.

I took my NCLEX this am at 0800 and it shut off at 75. I thought that is what I wanted to happen but when it did I almost screamed NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! I just felt like I was doing sooooo BAD and I really wanted more questions to redeem myself before it turned off! I got soo many select all, priority, delegation and random meds I never would have thought to study. Seriously everything on my test I never would have thought to study for the content was so RANDOM. To prepare, I ONLY did Kaplan, I did everything that their website offers all of QTrainers and Qbanks and spent the last 3 weeks just really practicing questions and reading rationales and IF this Pearson Vue trick really DOES work then I can confidently say that Kaplan really does help because literally I feel like I was guessing most of the time and the only thing calming me was that I was so used to "breaking down" questions because of Kaplan and hammering that damn decision tree and that way of critically thinking into my head to make an educated guess when you really have no clue.

Walking out to my car I was shaking and felt like I was gonna throw up I was so angry almost because I felt like "THATTTTT is what you wanted to ask me to see if I can be an RN?!!!" SOooo not what I was expecting, no cardiac or anything else that I would have guessed to be important content wise.

When I got home I talked to two of my best girlfriends and psychotically kept checking the PVwebsite until it said "Delivery Successful" And I GOT THE GOOD POP UP!!! Taking the time to read all these threads really helped me to relax a little bit and literally everyone I know did it also and it worked and I know of one person who didn't pass and it did indeed direct them to the Credit Card Screen. I guess there really is something to it. I mean if you think about it it makes sense since it is electronic it knows if you passed right away and why would it let you pay if you already passed so now I sit and wait to see my "official results" OH BY THE WAY: WHY THE HELL DOES CALIFORNIA NOT PARTICIPATE IN QUICK RESULTS?!! Thank God for this "trick" because that is so cruel and tortuous to make us wait in agony!

Hi LeeshPDL,

I am so sorry that your state does not participate in the quick results, I really commend you guys for sticking it out so long-that wait would kill me!

All I can say is that without a shadow of a doubt I am convinced you have passed! Congrats! Be proud of yourself and know that you have worked very hard to get to that point!

Its kind of strange because I tried it in the parking lot on my iphone then after i got the POP UP i called my friend to confirm it and he also got the POP UP. He even made sure the status says DELIVERED. Then, I checked it again maybe like 20 min after that's when I tripped out because after 20 min its letting me go thru the CREDIT CARD thing...So I'm here hoping for a MIRACLE hehe...mine stopped at 113 q's...almost OR MORE 20 SELECT ALL AND BUNCH OF MED QUESTIONS...I felt confident since this is my second time around but I guess I just have to wait and see....

I am going to take the nclex in two weeks, but i am taking it here in Canada, can I still try the PVT trick here in Canada? and does anyone know how to do it? thank you a lot.
