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

Took my NCLEX PN at 1:30pm today. Machine shut off at 85 questions. I just got the good pop-up a few mins ago. :yeah: I will post back with official results asap.

Two of my friends took it last week and both got good pop-ups and I will post again when they get official results.

I took my exam on Dec 8 in NJ and the next day I tried the PVT and got the good pop up. I'm very hopeful that it would really work. But my concern is I'm really worried because it's almost 1 month and my name is still not showing up on the BRN. I've been doing the "PVT trick" everyday and it's still giving me the good pop up. I havent receive any letter coming from the BRN if I passed or failed. Hoping to get the results within the week.It's freaking me out! Thanks

Merged with existing thread

If the pop up said "The canidate currently has an open registration for this exam. A new registration cannot be created at this time" is that a good thing? I might have done this too soon but any comments are appreciated!! Thanks!!!

You have to wait until your status says "Delivery Successful". This took about 4 hours after I finished my test for the status to change. Good luck!!!

I took my test this morning, waited for Delivery Successful, and did the PVT. Got the "Our records indicate..." message. I took the PN and it shut off at 85 questions. Hope it means I passed!!!:yeah:

I got a good pop up!!! I am so excited! I was taking the test for less than an hour and it stopped at 75 questions. The guy at the testing center even made a comment about my quick testing that kinda scared me but I got a good pop up. I don't know how accurate this is but it has calmed me down a little. Fingers are still crossed :D

All 3 of my friends (i forgot one in my last post) who took the nclex pn last week and got good pop up's got their results today and they PASSED!

hi all!! sooo im super freaking out..i took my nclex 12/30/10 in california and my buddy that took it at the same testing center said her name posted on the ca bon website a week later or sooner, not sure but i did the trick and did it again and got the good pop up each time but wondering why it's taking longer then my buddy to have my name on the bon website. do you think it might be the holidays? all this waiting makes me nauseous.. =/ can anyone that took their test in cali let me know how long it took their name to be on the bon website or did the letter in the mail was faster when u passed? thanks!!

It worked! I took the NCLEX-RN yesterday, and the computer shut off at 75 questions. I felt like I knew hardly any of the questions for sure, and I didn't get any drug calculations, which worried me. I also got a lot of SATA questions, which I'm not great at. I tried the PVT last night and got the good pop-up. I found out this morning on the BON web site that I PASSED my exam, and I'm now an RN!!! The PVT helped calm me enough to get a good night's sleep last night. Otherwise, I surely felt I failed.

I know I am not the only one, but I took my NCLEX-RN today and feel like I FAILED MISERABLY. It shut off at 75 questions, and I had a TON of SATA (at least 20, so about 25% of my test), a bunch of meds I had never heard of, and the rest were all prioritization questions. I walk out of the testing place nearly in tears.

The pearson vue trick is already giving me the GOOD pop-up, but I am still skeptical. Does this REALLY work? I am petrified. And i don't know how I am going to wait 2 whole days! And is that BUSINESS days? or just 48 hours? ARGH! :( Sniffle. I am going to go be a Wal-Mart door greeter if I failed.

I feel the same way, and also had a ton of SATA and no drug calcs or anything that I thought I knew! I hope my score shows up on the BON as quick as yours did.

If you got the good pop-up, I now have 100% faith that you passed! I didn't believe it either. I wanted to cry, I felt beat up, and I don't know how I passed with only 75 questions. Congratulations, I'm sure you did it! :w00t:

Has anyone ever had a good pop up but then find out that they failed the NCLEX-RN? I am still waiting, did the trick, but still a nervous wreck! Thanks!!
