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

Ok cool. I'm doing the RN. I'm in a serious time crunch. I'm SUPPOSE to leave for the Army as an RN July 18th. Not looking good for me. :mad:

2 weeks down, 6 more weeks to go. Still getting the good pop up. Man... this is such a torture!

Why does it take 8 weeks?!?!

I'm right there with you! I took it on June 15th.... uuuggghhhhh:mad:

I took my NCLEX-PN in CA on May 17th. I received my results in the mail today and I passed!!! I finished the exam in one hour and stopped at 85 questions. I did the PVT an hour after when I got home and got the good pop up. I waited 6 weeks and 4 days. Praise God. For those waiting, don't lose hope and patience!

Took my exam today, wrote 265. Was trying to avoid thinking about it when husband managed to google the Pearson Trick, which I had almost forgotten about. Tried it out of curiosity, and got the 'good' popup. Here's hoping it works for me - it'd be the best birthday present I ever gave myself: An RN license!

OK, dumb question...but how do you OFFICIALLY find out if you passed?? no one told us this...do you have to go check the BON website over and over until you see your name? how long does that take? or do you check the pearson vue site? or do they (who?) send you an email (so we need to check spam?) or do they send you an official letter in the mail.... ??? thanks! I took the test tody and got the good pop up but with e holiday weekend, i figure it'll be at least tuesday before i get anything and i will be out of town for a bit so if anything comes in the mail, i wont know....sigh.... who tells us the official results, how and when??

thanks!

After the exam, the lady who checks you in hands you a paper with a little pamphlet telling you what to do which I seemed to misplace....

so yesterday i took my nclex and got the dreaded 265..and i tried the pearson vue trick and it lets me go to the credit card page :eek: DOES THIS MEAN I AM DOOMED? i failed? i am so scared..i should find out tomorrow

When you find out depends on what state you are in and if your state participates in the "quick" results. If your state participates in that you can find out through the pearsonvue website 48 hours after you take the exam....from many of the posts it does not matter if is it a weekend or not. If your state does not participate in the quick results, i would either check your BON website or contact them by phone to inquire how long the process is. I am from Minnesota and we find out quickly by our BON and usually is before the 48 hours if you take it on a weekdy, but I know California has to wait a couple weeks for the RN and several weeks (up to 7) for the LVN.

Unfortunately it is not a good sign...but wait for the official results to be sure!! If you did fail, know that you were really close to the passing standard and can take and pass it next time...GOOD LUCK!!!

Hey everyone...The pearson vue trick is very much true, no doubt. I am here in CA, took my exam June 29, checked the pearson vue trick 3 hours after my test and got "the pop up." I checked 24 hours and 48 hours after my test just to make sure, each time getting "the pop up." Today, July 2, 3 days after I took the NCLEX, my name came up on the CA BON. So, lesson learned: THE PEARSON VUE TRICK HAS PROVEN, TIME AND TIME AGIAN, TO BE TRUE. If you get the pop up, seriously, grab a bottle of something and enjoy, if you continue onto the credit card page, give yourself a few days off, and hit the books again. It takes about 3 weeks for us California nurses to get our results, so the pearson vue trick is pretty much all we have until our names are put up on the BON. Good luck to you all, take care :)
