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.

hi crawla, i took mine today. 7/13.

my computer stopped at 100 questions, took me 2.5hrs to finish.

I tried the PVT, and the "good" popped up. IDK how reliable is this tho.

but alot of people say it works most of the time. I took mine in CA, they dont have quick result services or anything so I guess I have to wait a few more days or even weeks. Extended torture. LOLS. But its all good at least we are halfway between the pain in the As*.

God bless on the result!

I posted a few days ago. I was a frantic nervous wreck. I didnt believe the 1,000,000 blogs i read about the PVT. BUT I PASSED WITH THE GOOD POP UP!!!! I got the confirmation for $8. It was the best feeling ever. The test was really difficult to me. I took 75 questions and by the end i couldnt even tell you what was on it. I felt like i was kicked in the face! i cried the whole 40 minutes home. If it wasnt for my boyfriend driving me to and from my 8am test id be in a puddle on the side of the road. Hes amazing and was through all of school. AND I PASSED! So will all of you who get the good pop up!! I promise. Just dont forget when youre done make sure you thank the people who made sure you were still standing at the end lol

I took the NCLEX on 7/8 in North Carolina. Took the entire 265 questions and have felt AWFUL for days. I've been checking the NCBON, no results. I've tried the PVT three times a day since taking the exam, but it still comes back with "results are on hold" pop-up. The Pearson Vue website say "Delivery Successful" but has "Your exam results are not available at this time" Tomorrow it will have been one week since taking the exam!!! I haven't heard of someone not getting their results for a whole week ..... PVT or not ......

Trying not to panic ....

I have seen some posts that say when your "results are on hold" it takes longer and you just have to wait. Sorry you haven't heard yet. I don't remember if anyone said how long you would have to wait. I also had to answer all 265 questions and I know I would be a basket case if I had to wait. I did pass however, so keep the faith!!

OMG is it true?! I took the NCLEX in California today, had 75 questions in an hour and a half. I came home, checked the PVT saw the delivery successful note and and I got the good pop up! :yeah::yeah: I am having a hard time believing it.

Hi mobitoy.

I am sure you passed as you got a good pop up. This was my experience when I got the CC page and finally I got my report saying that I failed.

By the way, what city did you take your nclex-pn?, thank you in advance if you could let me know. I took mine in San Francisco, It was horrible, all SATA questions.

I took the NCLEX yesterday and did the Pearson Vue trick when I got home. I got the good pop-up. I tried again this morning just to be sure. I can be rather pessimistic sometimes, so I'm still a little bit convinced that I'll be the one the trick doesn't work for.

worked for me. I got bad pop up and didn't pass :( Didn't feel I did very well on it and the test stopped at 125. I will be trying again in 45days.

:yeah:congrats!!!!! Haven't seen it fail yet!TIME TO PARTY!
