Pearson Vue Trick 2015 Latest

Nursing Students NCLEX

Updated:   Published

Hi Everyone,

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.

This was my 3rd time taking my Nclex so I was so worried I wasnt going to pass AGAIN! I tested on January 7th, done by 1130 am. Came right home and tried the PVT with my CC. I got the good pop up with the red triangle etc. Although I read here to not worry i may have passed, I was still really nervous but this morning I paid the 7.95 for the Quick Results and got the wonderful news I PASSED! I am so happy and Yes the Pearson Vue trick worked for me! Remember, use an active credit card that has at least $200 available on it and once you click submit, if you get the red triangle, you passed! If the screen takes you to section 3 and a receipt, you failed! Good Luck!

I am from Georgia and took the RN NCLEX yesterday. I tried the "trick" with a valid credit card and got the good pop-up. Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Another registration cannot be made at this time. I just hope it is not Monday before I get my Quick Results. It is driving me crazy! Does anyone know if this worked for someone but then they failed? I am a worrier.

It is my understanding that Pearson Vue has taken steps to eliminate the trick from working and that it now requires you to re-enter credit card info. Even if you've passed, you'll get charged again. That's an expensive gamble to take.

If you live in a state that allows quick results, it's better to do it that way than risk getting charged for a second exam. (Yes, I know CA doesn't allow quick results)

You don't get charged if you pass. You only get charged if you fail.

If you use a card with less than $200, you'll get a "card declined/insufficient funds" notice -- which means they tried to charge your card = fail. I have a $10 VISA gift card that I used (PASSED!) and I've had a couple of classmates use it as well (they both passed as well).

That's not true. People have reported getting charged when they've passed. It doesn't happen every time, but it has happened. That's an expensive risk to take just because you're anxious to know.

You're right, there may be a very, very select few where the trick doesn't work. That's why it's wise to use a card with less than $200 on it. If it results in a false result, you're not out any money.

Hi everyone, just took my NCLEX-PN this morning and cut off at 85. Like majority of everyone who takes this exam I am a ball of nerves right now. I tried the "trick" about an hour after the exam (and again several hours later) and got the "good pop up" about their records indicating that I had already scheduled the exam. Fortunately, Texas participates in the quick results service. However the 48 hour wait is going to drive me insane 😩 I am really hoping that the old trick still works. And congratulations to all you nurses who have recently received your passing results! 😊

Maybe this will help some of you who are still struggling to understand the PVT, and why it is or isn't "working for you".

I can tell by reading these posts that many of you are not doing it correctly....and why you are as stressed as you are. Please learn how it works, and you will KNOW what you are looking at when you do the thing!

I took the test a while ago and passed in 75. never did this "trick". From what i understand, they do not offer any refunds, even if you pass? somebody's getting rich over there.

Just goes to show people can lose all sense of reason sometimes. You're correct, the $200 fee to register for another test is not refundable, and the person who pays this fee much acknowledge on two separate screens that they understand it's non-refundable prior to submitting their payment.

If the first score is a fail, and someone jumps the gun with the PVT by doing it too early (AEB these boards, happens A LOT) then they do risk having paid $$ for no reason if they ultimately pass. Those who fail the scoring twice will have had to buy another test anyway, so...not a big deal for them.
