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
Hi guys! I know based on reading the thread here that almost if not 100% of those who tried the PVT passed the test. My question is, has there ever been an incident where you tried PVT, didn't take you to the CC page and then you failed?
I've seen a couple of postings that led them to the CC page yet passed but I haven't seen anyone who said they were not led to the CC page and they failed. How accurate is PVT in terms of passing the test when it led you to the "good pop up".
I hope I stated my question clearly.
I'm one of those people who got the message "Our records indicate that you have scheduled ... ". I'm feeling a lot of anxiety right now. I know most of you will say I passed but I'd like to see my name on the site first with my license number before I rejoice.
By the way, a big thank you to this site. I find it very helpful.
Hi everyone, I'm a first time poster, LONG time reader!
You guys have gotten me threw so many things in RN school and Board that you wouldn't believe!
I would just like to comment on this thread and say I took my nursing board on April 14th, I had 75 questions (Which does NOT indicate pass or fail, LOL I am sure you all knew that though!) and was CONVINCED I had failed! I got probabbly upward of 6 or 7 SATA's and thought for sure I had messed up on them. I had a few knowledge questions but primarily it was PRIORITY and one of two delegating. The night before the test, I was SLAMMING myself with lab values, hyper's and hypo's and insulin times. Thinking FOR SURE they would be on board. They weren't. That dosn't mean they won't be for other people but they were NOT for me (1. on DM and 1. on K+). I was so nervous, I can barely remeber any of the questions aside that they were priority FOR ME primarily (I don't want to give the wrong impression, you should try to review a little of everything, because EVERYONES board is different).
Toward the end, I kept getting simple questions. Assessment and very simple and easy questions and I KNOW I missed one of them. I thought "Great, you can't even answer assessment? There is NO WAY you passed". I had a friend drive with me, she'll be taking her board for the first time on May 3rd. I negelected to mention, this is my SECOND time taking board, the first time I had 191 questions and FAILED. So I knew what I was getting into to an extent and when the tests kept giving me easy questions? I completely paniced. I thought for sure that I was below level of passing. I kept thinking "They are probabbly wondering how I even made it through nursing school!"
So at the end of the test? I hung my head and my friend and I drove home. I talked to my mom who is an RN and she kept assuring me that I would be alright, the father of my child/boyfriend (I'm pregnant) kept saying "Well, either you REALLY did well, or REALLY did bad." I was absoloutly sick to my stomach. I couldn't think, I couldn't concentrate. I couldn't even do anything. So I waited a bit, I then remebered hearing about this 'trick' and though "You know? What is there to loose?" So I tried it.
I did the questionaire and low and behold...The GOOD pop up. I couldn't beleive it and convinced myself it HAD to be wrong, that I was in the small percent that that pop up meant nothing. I did not call pearson vue, as I was to nervous to hear the answer.
So today, when I woke up. I checked the pearson vue site again. It said my results weren't available yet. So I just decided to wait. My mom however told me to keep checking the Ohio board of nursing Verfication site. So we did. At about 3:45 today, I check the Verification website and my name appeared WITH a LISENCE NUMBER!!!!!! It had dates that the liscence was good threw, it had an RN.-insert number sequence here- at the begining bracket, My status however say "APPROVED" not "ACTIVE" so I called the Ohio board of nursing.
The women on the phone said that approved meant they had not printed and sent my results to me yet. I asked "Does that mean I passed?" she said "You don't know?" I said "No." She then said "If you have a lisence number? You passed" I squeled like a 10 year old and hung up!
I check the verification site again later and my Lisence now says ACTIVE. The endorsement says Examination but it says ACTIVE!!!!! I PASSED NURSING BOARD!!! I'M A REGISTERED NURSE!!
So in short (LOL) the trick DOES work!!! It worked for me at least, as long as it says your results have been successfully delivered? It WORKS!!!!!! Beleive in it!!!
For all those who did not pass first time? Don't get beat down. I did, and it took me almost a year to build myself back up. Don't be affraid just know what you know and use your COMMON SENSE!! Good luck all, and to all the new RN I am not only proud to be amongst your ranks, I wish you all the best!!!:heartbeat
pls help.. i tried the pvt,and they allowed me to pay 200$ again, i know i didnt pass the exam..how can i refund the 200..bcoz the reapply fee is only 150...pls guys hepl me
this is how it works, you pay $150 for reapplication payable to BON, then when BON approves your application, they will give you ATT in two weeks or so.. then you schedule your Test at pearsonvue by paying another $200. you may wait for the result before paying though.. did you really pay? or it just went through cc page, you could just cancel it.
