Pearson Vue trick doesn't work anymore

Updated:   Published

I took my NCLEX PN 3 weeks ago and I got the 205 questions and I was sitting there for the entire 5 hours. The longest and most painful 5 hours of my life. I walked out of the Gardena center in Los Angeles (it is the center that is known for very few people passing) in devastation. I was shaking so bad that I couldn't even drive. I was sitting in my car for a while before I could feel my arms and legs. The questions were horrible. the test kept throwing the same questions at me. I got a lot of infection control and a lot of respiratory and metabolic acidosis I knew I had failed. I get home text my instructor, he says do the Pearson Vue trick. I did and it said I could take the test again and it gave me the credit card page. He said for sure I had failed. My supervisor at work said I can check the license online and I kept checking and NOTHING would come up with my name. I told everyone that I didn't pass. I went to see a therapist to manage my anxiety and stress levels.

I started studying again. Started from chapter one within the three weeks that I received my results I took more than 1000 questions. I cried my eyes out. After three weeks the letter came to mail and I PASSED. I PASSED. I can't imagine myself happier than this. I had told everyone that I had failed and now I had to explain to everybody about the PEARSON trick.

Don't lose hope. The trick doesn't work or at least here in CA. The license will not be issued because you have to pay and sign a release of information before they make your info public.

JUST WAIT for the board to send you the results.

Good Luck to all of you wherever you are.

I'm sorry what you went through but the pvt has changed. Everyone goes to the credit card page as of August 24, 2014? You had to input your card info and press sumbit.

But why do I keep reading ppl say they use their state site to see if there name appear or not I don't recall anyone saying that have to sign a info release form???

so I guess I have to wait another week I thought letter comes within 2 weeks....

I took my RN exam on July 23rd. I had a little more than 150 questions. I strongly felt I had failed. I wasn't going to put myself through doing the PVT but, the morning after taking the exam, I couldn't stand it anymore. It took me to the cc page as everyone is describing with the "new" PVT but I stopped there and decided to wait another day instead and pay for the quick results. I passed and the relief I felt was indescribable. I got my letter in the mail from the BON less than a week later but my license did not post to their site for almost a month, which is common in my state. All I can say is, I'm very glad this is behind me. I wish I hadn't gone to the PV site to do the trick, though. It made the stress worse from that moment to the next day when I did the quick results and saw that I had passed.

I cant believe people who passed the nclex are too dumb to think that "they passed the nlcex" with the trick put them on the CC page! Listlen up yo people. Do more research things have change. Everyone goes to cc page now. And for you to see if you pass or fail, youll have to input your cc info and Hit SUBMIT! Duh!

Dont be like the pvt trick doesnt work for everyone cuz i pass with the CC page. It cracks me up. These people probably think it was a miracle. Hahahaha. This is just my opinion! No haters

Ladies and gentlemen, I am proof positive that the Pearson Vew Trick does not work. I took the NCLEX-PN yesterday, finishing after 80 questions. I was terrified and sure I had failed. I read about the Pearson View Trick and tried it. I went through the full registration and even registered to take the exam again. According to everything I had read here, I had failed the exam. I was distraught. I called a friend. She told me not to worry about it. She had just been to a nursing conference, during which a Pearson rep told her that the trick has been disabled and is no longer an accurate means of telling whether or not you have passed the exam. I didn't want to believe her, so I continued to believe that I had failed. Today another friend told me to check the Arizona Board of Nursing website to see if I was listed there--and actual, reliable method of verifying if I had passed or not. Guess what! According to the Arizona Board of Nursing, I passed, and I am now a Licensed Practical Nurse. Of course, I'm out $200 thanks to the misinformation on this site, but I passed!

Does the trick work using a $5 Visa gift card? I wouldn't try it with my real cards and be out all that money
