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

I came home from my test today and checked....got the good popup.....was so excited. now i come back a few hours later and am going to the credit card page. what is going on???? now i am freaking out soooo bad! help!

Luckyluv.... you were suppose to wait for the thing to say "delivery successful" before you can proceed with the Pearson Vue trick. If you do the trick wayyyyyyy tooo early (within the first 12 hours after the NCLEX exam) then you will get a pop-up.... thats not the GOOD POP UP... there is a difference.

*tip for future Pearson Vue Trickers* ---WAIT for the "Delivery Successful" on the "activity page" of your Pearson Vue account before doing this trick. That way you can really find out if u passed or not. Sorry to hear that LuckyLuv. Best of luck to you!

I tested on a Friday and didn't expect to be able to bet my early results until the following Tuesday. I got the good pop within a few hours of the finishing the test. On Sunday at 2pm I was able to get my early results. It was a PASS!

This is for eveyone out there that got 265 question and was devastated!! I took the NCLEX RN for the second time on Wednesday. Both time I got 265 questions and spent 5 hours! I was so upset that I started searching threads and found the PVT thread. I tried it yesterday, got the good pop up and started having HOPE! Today after 49 hours of waiting, I did the Quick Result and found out I passed!! The PVT worked for me. I was 110% sure I failed! I thanked God literally! I have not read anywhere that someone got the good pop up and failed. I have read that if you try to re-register right after the exam you get this pop up: The candidate currently has test results that ar on hold. A new registration can not be created at this time. This does not mean you have passed or failed. You just got to give it another hour or so. You need this pop up: Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact you Member Board for further assistance. Another registration can not be made at this time. This means you PASSED! If you go to the cc page, then you failed. Congrats to those of you who passed! For those of you who didn't, don't give up HOPE! I know how you feel!

Hello everyone,

This is my first time on this site and to have the opportunity to post about the PVT thread. My daughter and I took the NCLEX this morning. Her test cut off at 75 questions and mine went all the way to 265. Needless to say I was bawling by the time that I got out to the car. When we got home, I was so discouraged that I began searching for way to get a faster result than the 48 hours that we have to wait. Anyway, I found this site and after reading several of your comments, we both went onto the Pearson site and tried to register again. Thankfully, we both received what everyone is calling the good pop up. We should have our results by Monday and I will be happy to let all of you know what our outcome is. Also, I just want to thank all of you for giving me hope that I passed after feeling so horrible earlier today. Your comments really helped a lot. :)

what did your "pop up" say?

Took my NCLEX-RN 7/14 @ 0800, 112 Q's with 7 SATA

Did the PVT 30-40 minutes after finishing my exam, got the good pop up

7/17 today I wake up and find my name on the CA BRN site and I wasn't surprised at all

265 questions. Good pop-up. PVT worked for me!!

My daughter said she did not register through the pearsonvue website. She said she spoke with someone on the phone, at least that's the way I took it.

Is is possible a person can register on the site "after" taking the boards, then try the "trick"?

Thanks.........jan

i don't really understand your question but, when i initially registered i called on the phone, but when i tried the pvt i did it online and it worked for me. it does not matter she used the phone first. is that what your asking. you have to follow the steps on the thread to try the pvt:uhoh3:

Did you follow the instructions exactly as they're written? The only reason I ask that is because when I first tried the PVT, I got the good popup but then tried it later taking a different path - I think I tried to sign in first or something (not sure what I did) and it was taking me to a page where I had to put in my address - other things that I didn't do the first time around. So I figured I'd go back to following the original instructions, and then I got the good popup.

Try it again and see what happens - good luck!!

YAY!!!! I passed!

it said there is an open registration at this time....one cannot be created...but it said delivery successful, and now i am able to go to the credit card page. I am already preparing that i failed, just so depressed....
