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

4. A little box popped up on my screen with the following: "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."

Is this the "good pop-up" that people are talking about? Or is it something else?

That is indeed the good pop-up! Congrats and Merry Christmas. :):yeah:

Hoping someone can share their experience.. I took my Nclex 12/23 in ca and still receiving the "candidate status on hold.." from pearsonvue. Has anyone ever had their status on hold and then failed? I have only read blogs about people's status on hold and then passing.

Same here, haven't read about someone in this situation, failing. Have you contacted the Board to find out what the hold is about? I would give it another week or so, then follow up on this after the new year. Good luck.

where did you find that status "on hold?" was it reflected on BON website?

why is it on hold? do you have a criminal background? I'm thinking this is the only way you can get a hold on your status.

Up Vote Up Vote ×

I have no criminal record whatsoever. I received the message, trying to do the PearsonVue trick. I was unable to go the credit card page to try payment. I receive the following message and have since my exam 12/23/10, "The candidate currently has results that are on hold. A new registration cannot be made at this time." I know many have had their results on hold up to a couple weeks, but then passed. I dont know of any "on hold" and then not passing... inquiring for more information.

I thought that "on-hold" status was used if there was an irregularity of some sort. This may be due to something outside of the examinee's control, such as a problem with the videotape recording of the test-taking session or computerized records not matching or some issue with the scoring.

I would contact PearsonVue and if you did not receive a satisfactory answer from them, I call your BON.
