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.

Hi! I took the NCLEX PN exam last Thursday, and the funny thing is, I wanted to re-schedule my test date due to anxiety, and being just super nervous, because I had failed my first attempt back in April, but I couldn't because it was less than 24hours.
Anyhow, I tried the "Trick" and I got the pop up, which I didn't get the last time I checked..So, I'm crossing my fingers in anticipation of my letter stating that I passed!
When I took the test, it didn't stop at 85, or 95, or 105! I went all the way to 205!! After 100, I thought, oh crap I've failed...I've seriously failed...I just wanted the exam to be over with, I was tired, stressed, and lost my mojo to continue..But, based on the "trick" response from many of you, I think I passed..
So, what didn't work for me the first time around, coffee shops..I shouldn't have studied at coffee shops, even though I thought/felt that I was studying, my mind wasn't 100% focused. So, the second time around, I stayed at home, locked myself in the room and studied Saunders book/CD. I used the CD mostly. I did about 200 + - questions per day. But memorized lab values, common medication ranges, PH levels, and when answering the questions on the CD, I looked up words I didn't know, and wrote it on my note cards. I answered the question, read the rationales, and understood why the other answers were not correct. Sometimes it would take me almost 2-5 minutes per question, because I was searching on the internet for a better explanation if I didn't understand the rational.
I would go through the questions and study 10 at a time, and marked how many I got right on a piece of paper. I just kept doing 10 at a time, which made hitting 400 questions in a day a piece of cake! But I studied from morning till evening with 15 minute breaks in between, and absolutely zero tv time! NO TV!! major distraction, and can ruin your studying ability! too many interesting tv shows!
I studied the night before, but stopped around 8pm. And watched my missed shows! Woke up the next morning, took the bart, and tried to study, but nope didn't work!
So, for those who are seeking advice, this is what I did. I hope that my advice will help some of you, if not all..and if I can help 1 person succeed on the boards, then I've done my part. But, I won't get too excited! because I still want that letter in my hands as proof of passing..
I took my NCLEX-PN exam on Nov. 4th. Went home that night and tried the "trick". I got the GOOD pop up. But, I was still worried. I went up to question 186. I got back on the website Saturday the 6th and paid for my quick results..... I PASSED! Woooo, what a relief! Good luck to everyone else!
