Pearson vue trick

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I turned to this website/threads when I was struggling with the ever so dreaded NCLEX... And I would just like to say that as an official RN now ;), the Pearson Vue "trick" that everyone knows about DID NOT work for me. I took the NCLEX on July 8th... 237 questions (I was dying). I did this "trick" for the remainder of the day, and constantly got the "bad pop up". I was completely devastated... This was my second time taking the boards. I cried myself to sleep that night, and even contemplated on what career to pursue now.. "what will I do now?! I'm never going to pass." The one & only reason why I even checked my results the following day was because a co-worker harassed me ALL day to check. I said to myself "there's no way I passed. I failed. I don't even want to see the word FAIL."..... And there it was "PASS". I still can't believe it.

BUT, this is for the people constantly arguing the point "does the Pearson vue trick really work?". NO - it did not work for me. After going through all of those emotions for 24 hours, I'm hoping this helps someone that might be put in the same situation one day. Don't trust it!!! I wish I would've never even attempted it that day, to save myself the devastation, but at least now I can say that I'm officially an RN now, and the hard work has finally paid off! Don't give up!!! :up:

I was under the impression that this website was about supporting one another, but clearly I'm not being supported... Rather, just being criticized on whether I did this PVT right or wrong. Regardless, I'm EXTREMELY thankful for passing... I posted this to give hope to others who may find themselves in devastation like I did, post-test day.

Moral of the story: don't trust PVT. wave.gif.f76ccbc7287c56e63c3d7e6d800ab6c

You can also check your state's board of nursing website 24 hours later for your results. 24 hours later, I had my results, and didn't pay a dime towards it! :sarcastic:

Goodluck!!!

Very few states post results 24 hrs after NCLEX. Many are 48-96 hours. Others it's 2-4 weeks post NCLEX

I'm in Florida. May not be true for ALL states, but just letting you know that it worked for me. Very well might work for you.. Worth a try anyways, before paying for quick results.

You just get your license in the mail when you pass! At least that's all that I've gotten, and I passed 3 weeks ago.

Actually, it's a discussion board, a forum for debate....not a support group. Mistake made by many.

Regardless, you are missing the point: you cannot declare something invalid because you didn't use it properly, that's just bad practice. And many of us take the time to explain more about PVT, NCLEX, etc because WE ALSO don't want people to be misled.....confused....devastated. We want the same things you do, and therefore are pointing out your error SO THAT OTHERS don't repeat it.

Same goal.

CONGRATS on finally passing ?
