Pearson Vue Trick Good pop up, then bad pop-up?!

Published

Hi everyone, so I just finished my NCLEX for the first time. I got 75 questions but feel really bad about it because I finished it in about an hour. I feel like that is too short of a time to utilize critical thinking skills and be able to think through the questions.

I tried the Pearson Vue Trick about an hour after I finished. And got the "good pop-up," so I felt a little more confident about my exam. An hour later I tried it again, and I got the "bad pop-up." I tried it a few more times and got the bad pop-up the next few times I tried it. I know that the PVT isn't 100%, but has this ever happened to anyone? Just wondering because I haven't heard any stories about anyone's PVT results changing. I feel like I should've stopped checking it after the first "good pop-up" because now I feel so nervous.

I took it at 8 am this morning, and have been getting the good pop-up so I'm hopeful. However, my quick results are not yet available on the Pearson Vue website. I will check again tomorrow morning and keep you updated!

Dont bother checking tomorrow. Quick results ALWAYS take 48 hours. If you tested today, Thursday, quick results will be available Saturday

I read this explanation on some forum. I can't recall which one so i cnt give you the link. But it goes like this, according to the thread your exam is checked twice. If you do the PVT after your exam ang got the good pop up it's because you passed the initial check. Your exam will have been checked the seond time around after 48 hrs, if my memory serves me well. If you fail the 2nd check the the good pop up turns into the bad up.

I took the test last march. The good pop up sustained for me throughout the 48 hours. After the 48 hrs i checked my BON's website and checked for my name and there it was...

Check your BON first because sometimes it comes before the quick results!
