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

Does anyone know if you can call the boards directly to find out your results?

Calling the Board will not do anything, they will tell you to pay Pearson Vue for the Quick Results or wait for your name on the BON website

I took the nclex-rn 2days ago, I tried the pearson vue trick today and was so devastated when it asked for my credit card payment. Has anyone experienced the same thing but still passed when the mail arrived? My state is CA and I still have to waIt for about 3weeks.

I just feel so numb right now. Please enlighten me.

thread merged with existing thread also includes the several replies in the thread

ok - so I have been trying to Re-register on Pearson since it said delivery successful..... and it has always said "results on hold" I am a psycho and have been checking constantly ... same msg/pop-up. I started it at 1pm on friday - so results should be up by now:confused:... according to other people in PA who took this exam on a friday - they say weekends have nothing to do with it. I have no criminal history, did not take it really fast - I actually spent a little over 2 hours just to answer 75 questions - making sure I read each one correctly and did not rush - there were no problems with the audio/visual monitoring that I know of.... according to others that had this msg that was one of the issues.... I cannot sleep - I wake up every hour last 2 nites with :redbeathechest pain. Most stuff I studied didnt even seem to be on the exam. ugggghhhh.

:eek:

I seriously doubt you failed with 75 questions. Try to calm down! Do something that will take your mind off of this. Look at it this way - it's OVER. Either way, at this point, your results are what they are. (I know, I know - easy for me to say. :) This is from another site that addresses the Pearson Vue Trick: "If you get the pop-up that says, "The candidate currently has test results that are on hold. Another registration cannot be completed 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 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."

I had 75 questions also, and was pretty sure I hadn't even seen some of the words on the test before :) - and I passed. You're going to be fine!

is there anyone out there that got the pop up that says their result is on hold and still pass or fail?? I took my Nclex RN on 03/25/11, i got about 115 questions. I did the PVT and this what i got "the candidate currently have a result on hold, a new registration cannot be created at this time". let me know also if u know someone that got this pop up message and still pass or fail. BIG THANKS

One of my classmates got this and she passed. I think it just means that your results got randomly selected for extra scrutiny by Pearson. I wouldn't put any extra meaning into the hold notification.

Thank You sweetie.. That's a big releif, even though i know it's not guaranteed..lol

This is my first post in a long time. I took the exam today in Michigan, had only 75 questions, lots of SATA questions. I am thinking I failed it. Did this trick and getting the good pop up. That is the only ray of hope. Will post back if the trick works or not, in 48hrs.

So - I called Pearson today they removed the hold that was showing up as a pop-up when I tried to re-register to do the trick. He told me it would be another 48hrs - however I checked this afternoon - Paid to check results............. :yeah: I PASSED! :nurse: A real nurse! still doesnt seem real - cuz I thought the test was hard - really thought I failed. :eek:

Sorry for being a freak-azoid! & THANKS For all the support!:heartbeat

I just did the pvt and got the good pop up, but on the page where it says delivery succesful...it also at the bottom if the page in red letters says Your exam results are not available at this time...does this alter the pvt trick...has anyone else had this at the bottom of their page:confused:
