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:

I took the NCLEX yesterday, sure that I failed... I waited a while to even check the PVT, i did and received the "good message" that reads: "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Another registration cannot be made at this time." I'm hoping that is a good sign. I read on here some people are receiving a "passed" message when they do the trick. I feel like a crazy person checking over and over about 10x today already! I've also been checking the CA nursing board website to see if I'm on their system yet, I'm not. UGH! The waiting is definitely not fun. I want my official results. Why can't they be posted already? You would think with the technology... Anyway, I will come back on and let you know my 'official' results.
