Pearson Vue Trick The Truth

Published

I sat for the NCLEX three times and fortunately found out that I passed on my 3rd attempt. I did the PVT on all three attempts and it worked for me, BUT it seems like the trick doesn't work consistently for everyone. It does work a lot of the time, but not all the time for everyone. Unfortunately, the only sure way to know whether you passed the NCLEX is to wait for quick results or your license to show on your BON. So beware if you try the PVT trick. You may get charged (non refundable) and still pass, you may get the good pop-up and fail, and you may get the good pop-up and pass. Although this is probably not the answer people are looking for, it's the truth. Hopefully, it will be of some help to someone who if also anxious and super worried like I am. I've been there, I do know how you feel. Just sit back and do something nice for yourself because you have most likely worked very hard until this point.

I don't disagree with you but Not sure on the $200.

If they charge you and you pass they will not allow you to take the test again. They cannot charge you for something they will not provide. The non refundable part is when you the tester decide not to test.

I am not for sure but my guess is if they charge you and you pass they will refund the money. If not,my credit card company will be getting a pretty quick call.

Your right, I guess to be more accurate I meant to say that it's a risk either way. I don't know whether they will refund your money if it charged your card and you end of passing, but they have absolutely no obligation to refund you. They give us two chances to back out and if you click "submit" knowing that you can very well be charged $200, that's the risk you take. I see your point, but I don't think it has much to do with whether they will allow you sit for the exam again, rather, they CAN charge you for something that you submit to after being given plenty of chance to back out. I agree too, I would absolutely call my credit card company or bank if they didn't refund me. I took the risk for sure and I would definitely do it again. Waiting and stressing out like that was too much for me.

Has there ever been an instance of getting the "good pop-up" and failing? I don't think that I've read a story where a person gets a good pop up and fails BUT I have read the opposite happen - person gets a "bad pop-up" and PASSES.

I read one not that long ago where someone on here said they got the good pop up and then it changed.

From what I understand they do not refund you. That is part of the risk in the PVT. You decided to put your credit card info in there where it says you will be charged.

I mean I registered for my test but have yet to take it. I could decide I changed my mind and never take my test and they will not refund my $200. I've already decided that I will not do the PVT, to me it's not worth the possible $200, nor the stress. I might as well ask the magic conch instead [emoji224]

Its a registration fee not a test fee. You did in fact reregister for the test and if you passed you violated the terms of service that you agreed to when you created a duplicate registration.

Either way you pay a fee to register not a test taking fee. You registered so therefore it's not refundable
