Pearson Vue Trick 2020

Updated:   Published

So if you are wondering if the Pearson Vue trick works? IT DOES! I left the testing center thinking OMG I got questions that were way harder than I expected and thinking what is it asking me exactly, and oh the select all that apply questions that came up! I was panicking, I also found myself answering questions way to fast and thinking, "Am I answering these correctly because I was flying through" only a few I had to read a time or two over. Anyways, I was cut of at 85 and finished the exam in an hour and fifteen minutes. I left there sick! I waited about an hour after I got the email saying my test has been received before deciding to check the "Pearson Vue Trick" and I got the "good pop up" and it said that I was not allowed to schedule this exam because one was previously taken. In about 48 hours, I checked the state site and found that I had passed. Everyone that I went to school with that had tried the trick, and when they got their results in about 48 hours saying they passed. Now, I don't know about false negatives, but I can say that this worked for all of us and turned up to be legit.

I just got home from taking mine. Shut off after 61 questions. I brought my passport because my DL expired a few days ago and local renewal office is closed due to Covid-19. Except I didn’t realize I hadn’t signed my passport. The person checking me in said she would take my drivers license and it wouldn’t be a problem because lots of people are having the same issues getting ID renewed.

Walking out after the exam she stopped me and handed me a number. Said “it shouldn’t be a problem, but we had to report that you signed in with an expired ID and this is the case number.”

Got home, wait until I got the email. Did the PVT and got: “The candidate currently has test results that are on hold"

Does anyone know if this indicates anything about pass / fail or do I just have to wait until the hold is removed? Anyone else who’s had results on hold, how long did it take to clear the hold? Did the Pearson View Trick work after that?

I took my NCLEX today the computer stopped at 60 questions. I still feel dazed, and in the twilight zone..... I honestly don't know how to feel. I did the Pearson Vue Trick and it gave me the good pop up. I can't wait until Monday to get my quick results and then I can really relax and feel confident that I really did it.

Can you please explain what is and how to do the "PVT" ? and Good Luck !

I took the exam Wednesday and did the PVT when I got home and received the good popup. My license just appeared on the nursing board before I could pay for quick results.

The pearson view trick is when you go on the pearson vue website and try to re-register for the NCLEX exam. If you put in your credit card information and it doesn't allow you to purchase a new exam date then that means you have a good chance that you have passed.

First post on this site, here we go!

I took my exam yesterday morning 5/30. At first I was relieved when I was stopped at 60 questions, but then once I got to my car I was filled with dread and doubt. I felt like I had guessed on all but 3-4 questions. I wasn’t sure if I was in the higher level difficulty or if I just truly knew nothing. I used the Hurst review to study and found that it helped mostly for the prioritization and delegation questions (which there were a LOT of). I had probably 10-15 SATA. No other alternate formats. I graduated at the top of my class with a 3.92 GPA, and to think that I potentially failed the NCLEX was devastating.

My friend took the NCLEX the day before me and had received an email saying “you’ve taken the NCLEX” almost immediately after her exam. I did not, and I was panicking! I walked out of the exam at 9:30 AM, and did not receive this email until around 4:30 PM.

When I got home around 11:30, I tried the PVT and got the message saying that I currently have an open registration and I cannot register for another NCLEX — indicating that I tried too early to do this trick.

I tried again once I received the email at 4:30... and I got the good pop-up (our records indicate blah blah)!! It was a huge anxiety-reliever for me, but I’m just paranoid that it’s going to turn out wrong.

I’ve always done well on my practice exams via the Exit HESI, ATI, PassPoint, and Hurst. To think that after all of that I could have failed the NCLEX breaks my heart. I’m just holding onto the fact that this PVT has worked for nearly everyone... Fingers crossed!

Hi all!

I took my NCLEX PN Saturday 5/30 at 8 AM.. I did all 130 questions. After the exam I felt very unsure and tried the PVT trick and got the "bad pop up". It was sooo discouraging and stressful waiting for the 2 day business day quick results.

I ended up looking today just to see if it was available and it was! And I passed!

Don't believe the PVT trick! Just wait for the quick results!

The PVT definitely worked. Took by boards on 6/22. Got the good popup hours later and license posted 06/24. This trick definitely helped relieve anxiety and gave me the reassurance.
