Pearson vue trick

Congratulations

Everyone goes to the CC page now. In order to do the trick you must put in your CC info then submit to get the good pop up or charged = a possible fail. Congrats !!!

did you ever get charged at the cc page? just wondering?

Hi All, I am a New BSN Grad. I've registered with Pearson and I'm ready to send in my completed application for an ATT number. Is anyone familiar with the average wait time to receive your number from Pearson? I am testing in Massachusetts and will be sending my application, Priority or certified mail in the next couple days. Just trying to get an idea.

Thanks. Hope all is well!! :)

I did mine with Mn, took about 3-4 day including a weekend for ATT

Hello All,

i promised to to drop a note when I finally passed my nclex RN. The Pearson vue trick definitely isn't 100% accurate. I checked it 3 times on several occasions and it took me to the credit card page. I was miserable cos I thought I failed but I received my license 5 days after I took my board.

Whoever is out there discouraged, u can also make it. I thank God I don't have to ever take it again

The trick is as accurate (or inaccurate) as it ever was; however, in late August 2014 PV updated its registration software and now anyone who attempts to register for another exam (which is what the PVT IS) now is directed to a Credit Card page that allows them to do exactly that.

The OP did not do the PVT correctly, he/she did not submit the card information. Congrats on passing :)

Like everyone has stated, you are going to be directly sent to the CC page. You need to fill out the info and click submit! But hey, YOU PASSED! Congrats

If you are afraid to be charged just change one number in your card number. If you passed it wont try to charge you but will give you the good pop up.

Do you really have to wait 24 hrs after taking the test?

You will not get an ATT until the BoN processes your application for a nursing license by examination. Pearson only forwards once given the OK by the BoN as Pearson does not issue the ATT, the BoN does. If the BoN does not receive your application registering with Pearson Vue is a waste of time and money.

If you must pick one, pay and apply to the BoN. Then later register and pay PV.

It worked fine for both me and my fiance. We got the good message and ended up passing. We live in CA and checked the results about 4 hours after and again the following day with the same message.

Do you really have to wait 24 hrs after taking the test?

Yes, for one excellent reason: your exam is scored TWICE within the 24-hour period following conclusion of the test. The first scoring is immediately upon closing, which is why your test ends where it does. The second (and only one that matters) will take place at some point during the next 24 hours. It's a quality assurance measure and it DOES happen that an initial result of 'pass' will ultimately be a 'fail', and vice versa.

Let's say, for example, the second scoring takes place at hour 20, and results forwarded to the BoN result in a license being posted the very next day, less than 24 hours even from the time the test was completed! THOSE people are convinced that the wait period is nonsense, because they don't understand that they lucked out, nothing more, nothing less. Your BoN receives your results after both scores are finalized, whether it's 15 hours or 24. Then it's up to the BoN to determine how fast (and if) you get a license.

Anyone saying that they did the PVT prior to 24 hours' time (such as a half hour, two hours, five, 15, etc) is ONLY guessing on what the FIRST scoring result is. They cannot possibly know if their exam was scored TWICE at the time they checked.

MOST of the time, it's true that the results are the same. But it happens often enough that they aren't to warrant the BIG BRIGHT CAUTION flag that several of us throw out there.

What's the harm in checking too soon? Well, aside from the potential crushing blow of believing you failed (and you didn't), you'd find yourself with a charge that is non-refundable. Many people have reported using 'tweaked' credit card information and "it worked just fine". Ok....and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes, a person wil have passed, but the system recognizes a problem with the card because it 'tested' it for a charge and it didn't go through. So the person gets a message saying to check with their bank, card declined, etc. And, naturally, they assume they failed, which results in days of hysteria and crying only to come back on here saying "PVT didn't work!! I passed!!"

And then, too, are the cases of believing they passed because the PVT wouldn't accept their payment submission, but.....that was only the first scoring, and on the second....bang, FAIL. And this is AFTER they have told everyone within texting range that they passed. And let's not forget those who(because they had had a card declined) put in actual card information, hit submit, get charged, freak out appropriately because now they are sure they failed. But they didn't, they just did it too soon!

In the worst case scenarios, people have had to turn down jobs because they DIDN'T pass the NCLEX, and only found out for sure AFTER they had accepted employment. Talk about embarrassing and painful.

And that is why you need to wait 24 hours :)
