Pearson Vue Trick: Is 24 hours too soon to check?

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hi guys! I took my NCLEX the second time last October 7 (Friday) 1130am and I thought I did good. I think I stopped at 89 questions. Pearson Vue said you can check the unofficial results after 48 hours. But i checked it sooner (impatient!) I followed the quick results instructions (my chest was palpitating!) then finally when i hit the submit button It says "fail". I don't know if I was charged I didn't received an email that I was charged.

Can someone enlighten me if its too early to react? Should I do the PVT tomorrow or in a few days? Or wait the official result? I needed some guidance. Thank you so much!

Try the quick results (if available in your area) after 48 hours, or as soon as the link to check the quick results are available. The QR will be far more accurate than the PVT ever will because it's an official-ish way to check your results. Yes, it's like $8-9, but that's a whole lot better than risking $200 for a "fail" result by PVT if you ultimately passed.

Hi. Thanks for responding. I tried the QR and paid the $8 and it says "Unofficial Result Fail". It charged my debit card but I didn't get an email notification that it was charged. I may think I will received that later. Do you think even if I checked after 48 hours, will it be the same? I heard there's a second checking of the exam. But if the QR is the best way, I did fail then. :down:

Quick results are conclusive. You have failed this attempt.
