Hi everyone, I felt I had to post this!! I took my NCLEX on Tuesday and left feeling super down, I literally felt confident about maybe 20 questions. I cried A LOT and was pretty sure I failed. I did the Pearson Vue trick no less than 1000 times and got the "bad pop up" every time. I read post after post about how the trick is supposedly 99.9% accurate which made me even more depressed. I was already looking into which cities I could travel to to attend an in-person NCLEX review!

Checked my state's BON website this morning and low and behold my name popped up under RN license verification! So the Pearson Vue trick was wrong! I followed all of the specific instructions and never once got the good pop up.

If the trick works for you and you get a good pop up CONGRATS! I don't think I've ever read about anyone getting a false positive so the good pop seems to be pretty accurate. If you get the bad pop up though don't worry, the trick is not guaranteed. Pearson Vue should honestly look into the little trick because it just adds to everyone's anxiety and is really just a weird site error that should not be used to check NCLEX results.

Good luck y'all and feel free to ask me anything!

Did they make you pay?

Or did you never get to that point

I never paid, I was able to check my state's BON website before the quick results even came out ?

Completely agree. This is why when I take my test on July 10th, I don't plan on doing the PVT trick. Our BON came to our nursing school and straight up told us that its not accurate. I think I can wait two days for my results (but really one day because everyone that has taken it so far in my class states that they got their results back the next day from the BON).

Lol yes, I would totally skip doing the PVT trick. Good luck on your test!

I have had severe anxiety about my test. I took it today and have done the PVT 3x since leaving. Each time getting the "bad pop-up". I have read forums about waiting 24 hours and then trying PVT, but it's so disappointing. I should have never done it.

I know it's hard, but stop doing the PVT trick. It's not the official results so you still have a chance of passing. I know what you're going through at this very moment because I took my test today too, but I refuse to do the PVT trick because I don't trust it.

Thank you for this... I took the NCLEX today and have been getting the “bad pop up” and I am truly stressed! Reading this makes me feel better

I’m having a bit of a dilemma right now lol. So at first I tried to reregister and I put in my credit card info correct except for the exp date. I clicked submit and it said invalid exp date. I immediately freaked the heck out. I tried to reregister again but this time I put in the wrong CVV code and then I got the good pop up! Has this happened to anyone else? I’m so nervous ? for reference my exam shut off at 75 and I had a ton of SATA. Got green lighted from ati and a very high chance of passing with Uworld.
Thanks!

If you got the good pop up at some point after putting in credit card information then it's likely that you passed, I really haven't seen anyone talking about false positives, only false negatives. Try not to be nervous and don't try the trick anymore!! Wait for the unofficial/official results and relax. Try to be positive and confident, you seemed to have been more than prepared, fingers crossed for you! ?

That's awesome, congratulations!! ?

Hi there, I just took my NCLEX-RN and been waiting for my results, but I've been so anxious I decided to do the PV trick and got the "bad pop-up" but after reading this post I feel like I have some hope! I'm not sure if maybe I haven't received my results because of the holiday weekend, but still keeping my faith in God that I passed please keep me in your prayers thank you!
