Here are the exact steps to see if you passed the NCLEX exam on the Pearson Vue web site.
Updated:
Very important: At this point, if you get a pop up that says 'the candidate currently has test results that are on hold. A new registration cannot be created at this time.', it has nothing to do with passing or failing; it just means that they are reviewing your records due to random reviews that they conduct, or because they needed to locate some data or papers, etc.
This means you will possibly have to wait a few more days than your friends who did not get this message. If you get the message 'Records indicates you have recently registered for this test please contact BON. An appointment cannot be scheduled at this time.', that means you passed. If you do not get either message and go straight to the credit card information page, that means you did not pass.
Your Pearsonvue account must state that delivery is successful before you try the trick.
Poll to take once you have received your response:

The first post in this thread will tell you everything you need to know about the Pearson VUE trick/good pop up.
I recently took the nclex (Saturday at noon) and I tried to register to take the test today and it said "our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your member board for further assistance. Another registration cannot be made at this time." This is the good pop up, right? It didn't take me to the payment section. Also if I took the test Saturday, I can't find out until Monday, right? I'm so nervous because I had 265 questions. If I go to the board of nursing website to search for registered nurses in pa, would that be able to tell me my results before Monday if I took the test Saturday? Thanks! I'm sooooooooooooooooo nervous.
Merged with existing thread as asking about the pop up
75 questions.Got the following pop up when I tried to re-register with Pearson:
"Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your Member Board for further assistance. Another registration cannot be made at this time."
Is this the good pop up?
Merged with existing thread. Suggest you read what others posted and wait for BON but Congratulations
I took mine yesterday at noon, shut off at 75, was 100% sure I failed it just got harder and harder. Got home around 2:45, PVT says I passed!!! Hopefully it's true, I will come back and update once I (hopefully) can see my license online.
Harder and harder is actually a pretty sure sign that you did very well.

Yes, that's the good pop up.
Yes, your quick results will be available on Monday if your state participates in quick results.
The PA BON website will only tell you if you passed if the BON processes your results and issues you a license number before Monday. Since most government businesses are closed on the weekends, it's unlikely the BON will be processing results before Monday.
Congratulations!
