Pearson Vue Trick did NOT work for me and I PASSED!

I just wanted to make a post in hopes that this will come up for potential nurses googling about the Pearson Vue Trick (PVT)

I took my NCLEX in January of 2017, and decided to try the PVT so many people swear by. I did NOT get the good pop up, cried cause well obviously it didn't work so figured I had failed. Nope! I passed.

The Pearson Vue Trick does NOT always work. Don't let it trick you!

This is was my second time taking the NCLEX, I failed the first one. It happens! I just picked myself up and studied some more. Passed it the second time with minimum questions. There is so much online help out there! So good luck to everyone!

I took the PVT and at first got the "declined" notice after putting in a invalid card. I took the test 6/9/2017 and tried immediatly after I got the email from them...days later still stressed about if I did or did not pass... put in a valid card and was chargrd 200bucks and got a notice stating that it will be sent for att ..... now I have no choice but to wait.... not sure if I passed of failed but will continue to study till I get the results... and thats 6 weeks in cali.

Yeah I've read a lot on here that it's just a trick and works for some people and doesn't for others. I however did not get the good message about how I had already registered for this exam, so figured ill wait paitently and continue to read online on how people still passed even after the failed trick

Same happened to me. And I failed

Oh, that's not good. Same story tho? Like yougot all questions?

That message appears after you submit credit card information, actually SUBMIT it, and indicate a second time (verify) that you want to register again. There is nothing whatsoever that appears BEFORE you complete these steps.

Either you get a message telling you that you cannot register again OR you get a message telling you that your card is declined (if you decided to use wrong information which doesn't tell you anything in the end). If you get charged $200 you get a receipt.

No pop up at all? You didn't do the PVT, you stopped short of finishing it.

I did not pass. Feeling really defeated. That was my second time taking the nclex. :(

Was it the PN or RN one? How did you know you failed I thought you guys didn't have quick results ?

Pn, not sure how they did but my schools nclex advisor checked and called me with the results

You had max questions??

I had about 90

Oh okay, I ended up having 205 totally questions. I'm sure I failed but won't know until tomorrow the trick didn't work for me either
