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.

Did I say too much about what I was tested on? Do I need to delete that stuff? Now I am paranoid. Really... did I give too much info? I tried to stay away from specifics.

I don't think you did. I've seen much more explicit information on this site. Don't worry.;)

Ty. I am paranoid lol.

The thing about not sharing info is so vague to me. I understand not sharing specific questions and answers with people but is it okay if we talk generally about what we were tested on? I just hope I don't put myself in trouble.

Your friend sounds sweet. The cambodian man in our class could barely speak english but he tried hard and studied for hours every night. He didn't pass nursing school. All of his patients in clinicals absolutely adored him. He cared about every one of them and tried so hard. The language barrier was just so difficult. Your friend got that far to pass nursing school and that is no easy task. She has to just keep looking forward. It can happen. :)

YOU AND ME BOTH!! did you get all 265?

Sorry for the super late response. I got 75 q's.

Ok I took my NCLEX yesterday. It cut me off at either 125 or 126. I was so nervous and wasn't paying attn. I did the trick and at first it was telling me " the candidate currently has an open registration for this exam. An new registration cannot be created at this time". I then checked hours later and I got the pop up that says" 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" Sooooo. What does this mean?? Did I pass or fail?:confused:

but thats the good sign you want.

You passed!!! Wait 72 hours and then check the BON website- your name should be on it as an RN :)

OMG..... 125 questions is passing (congrats to OP for sure, but...) ?????

What happened to 4 sections of tests (approx 1000 questions total) over 2 days (I know they've been computerized for ages, but thought more questions were required).

I'm going to pass out now......( hear loud thud.....):eek:

I think it's kind of sad that they turn folks loose with 125 questions and expect them to be ready to roll.... that just sounds really unfair :confused:

Specializes in LTC.

You passed! Congrats :yeah: Trust me, I checked and it gave me the "bad pop up" and for sure I had failed..

XTXRN: It can actually shut off at 75!! That being the minimum and 265 or something like that being the most.
