I wanted to share this information because just last night I was frantically searching for it myself and couldn't find anything current. The date today is 2/10/16. I took NCLEX yesterday and I know I passed because my name is listed as having an active license from the state. However, the Pearson Vue Trick did not work for me! Even right now, knowing that I passed, it is still letting me register for a new test!
So, if it lets you register please do not rely on this alone! You still may have passed!
I hope this is helpful to someone who is out there thinking they failed because the almighty Pearson Vue Trick didn't work for them!
Just received a confirmation letter I am officially a REGISTERED NURSE !! Found out in six short hours!!! I was gut wrenching sick before finding out...
Hey! I know this post was from a while back but I was wondering what this means/if you passed? this is currently happening to me and I am extremely anxious/nervous.
This is so good to here! I realize this is an old post but im kind of going through something similar! I wrote the NCLEX 1 week ago today in Canada. We do not have access to quick results here so of course, i tried the PVT. Only i tried it 4 hours AFTER taking the test...not the "recommended" 24 hours. I got the "bad pop-up" and it took my payment. I have been devastated. However, on Friday (4 days after my exam) out of curiosity I went on the Board of Nursing website for my province, searched my name, and there I was "registered nurse", "active", with a license number.
I have NOT received any results yet so I am not certain if the PVT is factual in that I failed based on it accepting my payment, or if my name on the BON site with a "active registered nurse" and license number means I passed??
I spent days crying so Im scared to get my hopes up!
I've tried Uworld (when they had the free week trials) Bought the NCLEX Mastery app, ATI Mentor app, Kaplan qbank/trainers, ATI program (from school) Only one that comes even remotely close to what you will see on the nclex is Uworld. All of them are great for practice on nursing school exams and to reduce test taking anxiety, which in my opinion is key to do well on the boards. I took the exam for the 2nd time today and the way nclex formats and puts together their questions are like nothing you will see. They test your ability to "what are they asking me?" solving skills lol. Some are just straight up knowledge based. Others have more than one correct answer but you must be able to pick out the best and most prudent answer that answers the question. Last time I failed at 247 and I had every topic thrown at me (tons of peds and MH, management/leadership, priority) Today I got cut off @ 75Q and had maybe 1 MH, 8 drugs or so, no direct peds questions, 10 (-/+)SATAS, no math. It such a weird exam. Almost no one leaves thinking, "I nailed it!"
Last time I did the PVT trick 4 hours after the exam and got the "payment declined" on a valid VISA gift card and sure enough I had failed. This time with same gift card, I got the good pop up couple of hours after the exam. Fingers crossed!!!!!
Hi, I am following up to see if you passed the 2nd time (I think I am going to have to take a second time) and what your advice is- I used Uworld, all 2000 and was sccoring in the 60's but felt horrible in, and after the test. It felt like I hadn't even studied and I did wuite a bit.

You have to submit the payment and if you pass, it will not let you register but if you fail, it process the payment. Gd luck.
