First, I just want to thank everyone that comes to this website to share his or her experience. This website literally keeps people alive and going during some tough times. You might not know it, but there are tens of people out there that quote this website each day.
My journey with the Nclex-RN in California started on the 2th of December. I took the Nclex, I went home and tried the PVT, and it gave me the good pop-up. 24 hours and 4 days later, I was still getting the good pop-up. A week passed and no result or license, I was anxious to say the least, as some of my classmates got their license within 48 - 72 hours after taking the exam.
I always came to this website to get some courage as the weeks rolled by. Finally on 31st of December, I got my license. The long wait was over.
My main reason of writing today is that through my experience, I found out that the pearson vue trick is not a trick. It is the way the computer is programmed. If one fails the Nclex, it will take your money or decline your card accordingly (for insufficient funds or being invalid). The so called trick works perfectly.
Secondly, If you live in California, and you get the good pop-up after 24 hours of taking the Nclex, you passed. The waiting time has to do with the BRN taking so much time to process files. Keep strong and keep faith, you will get your license.
Can you share the thread if you found it? ^_^ Where a person got good pop up too soon and actually failed. My eyes are crossing and twitching from all the reading I'm doing xDDD
It's official!!!I didn't even have to do the 24 posttest PVT! I called the license verification number for my state, entered my SSN and the automated system announced back my name and license number! The sound of my own name never sounded so amazing!
So, PVT trick worked for me both on my initial fail and my second and successful attempt!
Bottom line, if you don't succeed the first time.... DON'T GIVE UP!!!
The PVT trick is not set in stone. Took mine the 4th of Feb and tried the trick and failed to get the pop. I waited the 48 hours and was very excited to see that I passed.
Hello took my nclex on Jan 15th in California my state does not participate in quick results and I was wondering how long till people in cali got official results
The Pearson Vue trick worked for me as well. I just took the NCLEX-RN yesterday, 2/5, and it turned off at 75 questions. I've been a ball of nerves! I tried the trick with an old gift card and it gave me the good pop-up. I then checked with Continental Testing which said my exam status was passed. Illinois NCLEX takers, save your $8 and just check Continental Testing!
PVT worked for me. Took NCLEX 2.5.15. Test was scheduled at 2 p.m. but I walked in a little after 1 p.m. and was able to start then. Walked out at 2 something, closer to 3 p.m. and immediately did the pvt no more than 15 minutes after finishing the exam and got the good pop up (gpu). I continued to do the pvt throughout the day to the point that I memorized my card number and still got the gpu. 24 hours plus later still gpu. Got quick results today, 2.7.15, a little after 3 p.m. and I passed the NCLEX!
How I did the pvt: register to take exam as having taken the exam already, put in your credit card number and click submit, I got the triangle that said our records indicate that you've already scheduled an exam (something like that), which is the gpu.
I stopped at 100 questions and the last one was, in my opinion, a pretty easy ordering question, so. ..
Just finished my NCLEX with all 265. I did the Hurst and several several Kaplans. I'm in shock I had to take the max. Tried the PVT and now I'm $200 shorter. I can't go through all this studying again...
I took my NCLEX RN yesterday 2/6/15 8am and tried PVT and it says my test result are on hold and cannot make any registration? Can somebody tell me what tha means is that a bad pop up or good pop up? im freaking out!! Thank You!!
I'm an RN!!
