PEARSON VUE TRICK

[Aznddrwonder]

Hello. I took my test 6/23/15 @ 1pm. 75 questions. Bunch of SATA and priority questions and got the good pop up. Do I need to wait 48 hours to see if I passed or not? Help is greatly appreciated

And in 3...2...1...

What is up with people being so impatient? 48 hours? Go celebrate being done with nursing school and it being summer! Those two days will pass before you know it!

Or, that trick is a way to increase anxiety and stress, and doesn't work.

Welcome to the age of instant gratification. God forbid we have to wait for anything these days ... sheesh!

You'd think you want to forget about this test for a few days ...

We waited almost three months to get our results, and none of us died.

God forbid anyone Google ANYTHING. Google changed my damned life. Why does everyone reject it in favor of making-a-forum-account-validating-email-logging-in-not-searching-in-forum-make-post-immediately-and-wait-for-replies....... on a topic that could have easily been googled. Doesn't sound much like instant gratification to me.

The only accurate way to know 100% if you passed is waiting for the Quick Results, which you have to pay 7.95 for in 48hrs or waiting for your name to show up on your BON. You can try the PVT but it's not guaranteed 100% that you passed. I did the trick because I wanted to see something once I was done, I knew either way no matter what it wouldn't change anything but just seeing something was comforting. I got the good pop up, but I won't know for sure until tomorrow after 10am EST when I pay for quick results. Good luck, stay busy for the next 48 hrs.

The only thing that will tell you if you passed or failed are official results. If your State participates, pay the eight bucks for QR and be done with it.

SATA questions don't mean anything either way. Priority, delegation....these can be above the passing standard or below it.

The best indication of how you did was that you got the minimum number of questions; you either demonstrated quickly you were competent, or you demonstrated quickly you were incompetent.

Given your student history, prep for the exam, school's passing rate, etc....which is the more likely scenario?

Now realize that approximately 90% of all US-educated graduates pass on the first attempt, and I'd say the odds are in your favor.

Good luck.

Trick works very well actually. Took NCLEX June 23rd and shut off at 75. Went home waited a few hours and did the trick. Got the good pop up. Today got the 48 hour results and guess what, I passed. Everyone I know who has done the "trick" and got the good pop up passed

I tested on the 23rd as well, 75 questions, went to visit my friend at work, tried it, and got the "good pop up" tried again after 24hrs, same pop up, Checked CA BRN my license was posted!!!
