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

Double post. Sorry guys. Pretty new here!

Hello all.

I took the NCLEX last week (75 questions and about 15 SATA) and tried the trick and I got the good message. :) But I was still on pins and needles (especially the morning I knew my quick results would be released). But to add to the speculation...It worked for me. I also had about 4 friends that got the good message and passed and one of my classmates got the cc page and she indeed failed. Good luck. You can do it and you will be a great nurse! Keep the faith and stay strong! ;)

Hey all,

If you finish the NCLEX at whatever time, how soon after should the PVT work? It keeps getting the pop up that says 'The candidate currently has test results that are on hold. A new registration cannot be created at this time - meaning they arent up yet.

I thought it would be up immediately since everything is electronic. Anyone know???:confused:

I thought that was the trick...if it says your results are on hold, that means you passed? I thought if it takes you to the credit card screen, then you failed. But I could be wrong.

No, the trick says if it says contact your administrator your passed. The message I got means it hasn't been updated yet.

Merged with existing thread where this has been asked and answered several times

Hey all, I finished at 930..its now 1240 and it still says its on hold. Doesn't say contact administrator? Is the trick just not going to work for me?

Took NCLEX-RN today at 2:00 CST, finished at 75 questions around 3:20. Got the good pop up when I got home about 5:30 :-)

I feel like POO. I went in today at 1pm. I HAD 111 QUESTIONS! What does that mean?! Got the good pop up (contact your board), but I've been researching for hours and some people say that it could be a false positive/negative. I'm super super super times infinite sick to my stomach. I'm freaking out, thinking that the "good pop up" will change to a bad one tomorrow.. or even in an hour.. or even in a minute!

Seriously need some support right now. I've been a mess all day.

Good luck, Blu! I take mine Monday and I am terrified. I hope you pass!!!!

Thanks, Pitaya! Good luck, and don't let your nerves get the best of you!

Checked PVT again today.. got the good pop up. I called Pearson Vue twice today and they told me "it's absolutely not true." Someone tell me something different! Or can we all try to call and get the TRUTH?!
