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.

I am NOT in California, my test date was yesterday (12/2), the pvt worked for me (good pop-up) within 2 hrs of leaving the test site, and my license number appeared this morning on my BON site :) It sucks to wait, but I wish you patience and lots of luck!

I took the PN on 12/1/10...I was so distraught and was literally crying like a baby as I walked to my car afterwards!!! My friend did the trick for me, I got the good pop up!!! I found out this morning as well that I passed!! Pearson wldnt take my cc, so I checked the BON site, nothing was posted, I then just called them(BON) they told me I passed!! In TX they only issue the licenses on Tuesdays and Thursdays per them!!! God is good and able!!! I can honestly say, that was the hardest test I have ever taken!!! Glad it's over!!!:smokin:

took 12/1. PN in New York.

stopped 85 questions. trid PVT after 3.5 hours test, got good pop-up.

48 hours later, got the quick result and I passed !

Yes, PVT definetely worked as everybody here.

:heartbeat going out to you!!!

You go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:hpygrp:

I took my Nclex-RN yesterday. After 6 hours, I did the PVT and got a good pop up!! Oh How I wish this is really true. Well based on what I read in this thread, it is but I have to see the official result. I can't sleep and I can't keep still...well at least the PVT is the only thing that's making me sane right now lol.

Im new to allnurses, but this thread about the PVT really got me interested. I took my NCLEX-RN today. I felt okay about it. I took 265 questions & it was difficult taking sooo many! But I did the PVT & got the "good pop-up" Im in WV, & quick results arent available, so Im just waiting on my name to appear on the BON website - hopefully Monday or Tuesday.

The idea that the PVT works is the only think keeping me for freaking out! It was nice to have SOME reassurance in a situation that is soo nerve racking. Praying for good news soon.

Hello!!! Yes, you are going to be just fine. I also got the good pop up and I found out I passed from the BON hotline in VA. Good luck!!!!

I haven't been back since I found out I passed at the end of September. New job is keeping me hoppin'! :)

I did the 'trick' and it proved out for me. My name was on my state's board of nursing website before my quick results were even available to purchase.... so CHECK your online BON before you pay! I took my test on a Monday and a friend called me early, early Wednesday the same week telling my I was listed as RN. :nurse:

I walked out of that test knowing I had failed. I even got the final question wrong. As soon as I got back to my car I looked it up and was sick seeing that I'd picked a distracter instead of the right answer. So how you do on your final question is obviously no indicator, either.

Good luck everyone who has yet to take that monster. :hug: Reminds me of the joke - How do you eat an elephant? ... One bite at a time!

Well, I passed!!!! PVT worked for me!!! I am a real :nurse: now!!!! Got quick results!

I couldn't believe it, like most everyone else, I walked out of that testing center feeling like I did not know a single answer on that test for sure! Good luck to everyone else going through this, it is one of the most stressfull things anyone can go through!

you can relax, you passed :)

Yes!!!! For sure the trick works!!! I PASSED!!!!!! good luck all of you!!!!!
