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.

The "trick" has been accurate everytime that I know of. Can you not get the QUICK RESULTS from PearsonVue? I paid the $8 when they were available in 48 hours just to confirm.

Quick Results are not available in all states. California is one of the states in which they are not available.

took the lvn nclex on march 1 2011.....got home and did the pearson vue trick.....this was my third time taking the test...the last two times i got the cc page but this time i got the "good pop up"....i told my parents about the trick and they got really excited....so i hope i really did pass this time....

how come the first two times i took the test and tried the pvt and i got to the cc page i knew for sure i failed so both times i only checked once....now that im getting the "good pop up"....i cant believe it....and ive been checking it everyday to make sure it doesnt change does anybody feel like me?.....

Is it just me, or does the original poll listing the two choices inaccurate of whether the PVT Trick is accurate or not? I would like to incorporate more specific choices to choose from, if possible. ;)

If you'd like to participate, please pick one of the following choices:

1. Get a PVT "Good pop-up" and pass?

2. Get a PVT "Good pop-up" and fail?

3. Get to the Credit Card page and pass?

4. Get to the Credit Card page and fail?[/quot

lol can't just write 4 need five characters

Wrote the test, came home and tried to book a test and it let me. So I just paid. 2days later I paid for quick result and of course I failed!

2nd test...I wrote the test came home and did it again but... this time I got a message saying to contact my board and it wouldn't allow me to pay. 2 days later quick result said I passed!

I'm proof the 'person vue trick' does work. Thanks of course to me failing the first time. LOL

Just got quick results... PVT works!

I passed!

Don't stop believin', whether you passed or not. You can do it...

Thank you, Jesus Christ.

I just took my NCLEX on 3/10/11 and did the PVT. It works! I PASSED!!:yeah:

Finished the Nclex-PN this morning, came home and checked the pearsonvue check it gave me a pop up that said I was already registered and to contact my board of nursing. I have heard the trick means you passed, but its Saturday and I wasn't sure if it works the same way on the weekend? Its my 2nd time taking it, and I felt that it went much better than the 1st time, I just don't want to get my hopes too far up until I see the final results.

took the test wed in austin, tx 0800. cut me off at 161. got the good pop up wed night about 6 hours after exam.

pop up stayed the same for 48 hours.

when i saw my results were ready to view on the pearson websight friday at 0800 ($7.95 for quick results), i checked the pvt one more time and still had the go0d pop up. (i call it god pop up).

after paying with cc....results were pass. so i am a believer. pearson simply blocks the payment method once you pass. i passed it the 7th time.

hurst review i highly recommend versus all those 3" study guides. they give you everything you need to pass. god popped up the 7th time. :)

be prepared once you are in the higher level questions, to see alot of sata questions.

Merged with existing thread for continuity

The pearson trick worked for me as well(I passed). How many questions did you have? I had 75, usually the less the better from what I hear. Good luck to you and if you didn't pass this time, definitely take Kaplan, well worth it!

I also had 75 questions. I guess I chose most of the wrong answers. I've accepted now that I failed. I'll retake this june.
