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.

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 I took my NCLEX-PN in Illinois at 8am on Monday (yesterday)... I started getting the good pop up at 1:30pm or so... Im so geeked I should have Quick Results Wednesday (tomorrow) by 9am.... It only took me an HR to take my exam.... && I stopped at 85 questions!! It was HARD... My program has an 100% pass rate... Glad I didnt change that!! I
It's nice to know I'm not the only one to get all worked up over this exam!
I took such comfort in reading everyone else's stories this afternoon, so here is mine (the quick version):
Took the test today (Sept 14, 2pm). Very nervous (headache, insomnia, muscle tension, abdominal cramping, diaphoresis, n/v, you name it). Couldn't help staring at the clock/question counter, even though I'd heard it would just make me more anxious! LOTS of SATA, LOTS of pharm (weird things...with random, vague AE's), quite a bit of prioritization. One picture, one "data", no calculations. I was pretty sure that I was messing up all the pharm/prioritization, because I kept getting more! I hit "next" on question 75...and it was over! I didn't cry or dry heave; probably because I was in shock. I wasn't done! I had to answer more!
Next (well, you know the drill): Came home. Started googling. Read all the threads/discussions. Tried to do the PVT, but it kept coming up "ready to send." Finally, at 6:47 (yes, I checked at 6:45!), I saw those two little words: "Delivery successful!" Oh my goodness. I didn't know if I would have the courage to actually try the "trick,"--but, of course, I didn't have the patience not to!
...filled out all the forms...took a deep breath...clicked the button....and:
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.
:)
Still waiting to celebrate until I see my name on the BON website (does anyone know how fast the turnaround is in Maryland?), but I will definitely be sleeping a little easier tonight! Good luck to everyone!

I just finished NCLEX an hour ago. The popup says, "The candidate currently has an open registration for this exam. A new registration cannot be created at this time."
Is this the "good" popup? Or do I have to wait longer to check the results?
