Members are discussing their experiences with the Pearson Vue Trick (PVT) after taking the NCLEX exam. Some users are sharing their success stories with the PVT, while others are skeptical of its accuracy. There is also confusion and clarification sought regarding the research questions included in the exam and how they impact the final score. Additionally, users are sharing their anxieties and uncertainties about waiting for official results and license postings.
After you test you should receive an email stating something along the lines of "Now that you've completed your NCLEX blah blah blah". It is at this point that you can try the PVT to get an IDEA where you stand. However, your test is graded twice. Once automatically and once by Pearson Vue staff just to be sure the computer got it right. This usually happens within the first 24 hours and is why many say the results are only accurate post 24 hours. In which case you really could be failing at first and then when the 15 research questions are removed you could be passing and vice versa.
When you try the PVT you can use a prepaid card that has very little money on it, or put in your correct CC number and incorrect CVC (security code), whether or not you put in the correct expiration date is up to you, but I would change it to be safe. Once you officially submit the payment you will get one of four pop ups--
Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Another registration cannot be made at this time.~~~ GOOD POPUP
The candidate currently has an open registration for this exam. A new registration cannot be made at this time.~~~ GOOD POPUP
Card declined (for whatever reason)~~~ BAD POPUP
The candidate currently has test results that are on hold. Another registration cannot be made at this time.~~~Means NOTHING, they are simply taking another look at your exam to be sure you didn't cheat. This could be from odd movements during your test that caught their eye, difficult palm vein scans, finishing quickly, something that happened with the computer system that you had no idea about, your computer cut off in the middle of your test, literally anything they deemed as suspicious or the computer flagged.
Once the hold is lifted you will either get the good or the bad popup.
Please note that if your pop up isn't worded EXACTLY like this or is SLIGHTLY different it still means the SAME THING. Therefore, do not freak out thinking you did/didn't pass because of that.
Are there people who do everything exactly right and the PVT doesn't work for them? YES. However, that number is VERY small and most of the time the people it "doesn't work" for did not do it correctly. If done correctly it will work and will be rather accurate as it is with the OVERWHELMING majority of testers.
Is it possible to be charged and still pass? Yes, it is. If you do then you are one of those people that I talked about when I said some didn't do the trick correctly. ? The PVT is simply an exploitation of the company's billing software in a way that wasn't meant to be. Therefore, if you punch in all of the credit card info and it takes your money..... ? oh well, it's doing what it is designed to do.
The PVT isn't definite because it wasn't designed to be. However, overwhelming majority proves that it is rather accurate, but should only be used as an idea of where you stand until you either get your quick results, or see your name on your BON.
I believe I have covered most of the topics that I see regularly asked. If you get a good pop up, take it as a good chance that you passed and relax until you get your results. If you get the bad one recognize that it means you probably failed, but you will not know until you get your results.
I failed my first time taking the NCLEX and got the bad pop up, passed the second time with the good pop up. The most important thing is to not drive yourself CRAZY scouring the internet trying to find situations just like yours or asking a million times whether or not we all believe you passed because it'll only stress you out more. TRUST ME I KNOW. Good luck to you all! The NCLEX will really mess with your mind, but we all made it through nursing school and assuming you put your best foot forward while there, you CAN and WILL PASS the NCLEX!!
Hello i also took the nclex last nov 8 but time expired at 245 questions.. im afraid of the results so dont want the trick or quick results.. i will just wait til 6weeks... i felt nervous already...
Hello I took my nclex on nov 13 and still waiting for results also. i went up to 265 questions. I think 4-6 weeks is a long time to wait ? have you tried calling the BRN ?
Quick update! Saw my license posted on breeze when I checked it this morning around 7am! Pearson Vue trick worked for me! Hope you all get good news as well ?
Congratulations!!! Are you in Cali? Just wondering bc it's taking a long time with my results. I've checked breeze a lot this past week
I took my exam Nov 17th, which is a Friday. Ive been getting the good pop up since then and today is Nov 21st, and Im still waiting for my results on the BRN. I live in California so we dont have the quick results. I contacted Pearson today to ask if my results were sent over and they said yes. Quick question though? If i took my exam on a friday when is my 48 hour mark?

It is safe to say that today would be your 48 hour since the exam day. You can check you breeze account to seenif some changes has happened already. RN is faster i guess than lvn when it comes to the resuly.

I already answered this question. You said you didn't even have quick results in CA, so it doesn't really matter when the 48 hours is up ? So if you did live in a state with quick results, you would get them in 48 hours from when you finished so, Sunday, like I said in the original post.
My school hired Kaplan to do a testing class for us. The rep said that the results of the PV trick are random and not related to your actual test score. I guess with 50% odds of getting what seems like a correct result, that could be true.
