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:

PVT is true and accurate, I am a living proof of it. I live in California and took my nclex-rn on Oct. 1, 2011 (265 questions), came home and feels miserable, check PVT and got the good pop up "the candidate has previously passed this exam, an appointment can not be scheduled", three days later my name is on the BON site. So happy:)
, my prayers are with those who will be taken their exam. Good luck.
So happy you posted this. That's promising , you got the same exact pop up and then found out you passed. I sure hope it means the same exact thing for me then and others. :) do you know if they post names on the board of nursing for lvns a couple days after taking the test if they passed? Just wondering or maybe you have to pay first for your license before they put your name up on the site I don't know .. I'm going batty waiting! Lol
Yeah, I'm in Southern Cali. Of all the things we have in Cali, we don't have access to quick results... Crazy. As far as I know, only 1 person from my class didn't pass, a few people got their results about 2-2 1/2 weeks later, and some went the full 4 weeks. Like I said, Thursday will be the 4 week mark for me and I really hope it doesn't go past that. And now that I've seen the new pop up, I'm having trouble falling asleep, lol.
Hi there again, just wondering if you had checked the board of nursing website for lvns to see if your name was there? I've read that some have gotten that same message that we have been getting and then checked the BON but the RN one and have seen their name.. Let me know thanks lol

Remember California is different to the rest of the state and you are informed by post before you pay for your license and see name on website
@LvnJen-
I just checked the bvnpt and still don't have my name & license number up
I did receive the good pop-up, so idk?? I hope I receive the letter by the end of this week cuz this is week 4!! I also am wondering what you and Silverdragon102 mean when you say that the board won't post until you have paid them?? I believe that along with the tuition & everything I paid the school, they said everything would be paid for. Maybe I'm confused, can you please explain that part to me?
Also, a couple of my classmates who have recently passed still don't have their names up on the board so maybe I'll contact those that do and also ask them. Thanks in advance for your response :)
With the board of nursing for the lvns, i guess once you have gotten your official letter stating that you have passed, they want you to send a check for $150.00 for your actual license card. Once you have paid they send you it and then put your name on the website. At least this is what my BFF did and had happen to her. She paid, they sent her her license card and posted her name on the site. Hope this clears this part of it up for you. Ps I can't believe that its taking that long for you, how horrible. hopefully we both get our letters SOON. :)
Thanks so much LvnJen! I hope we get it soon too. Today my mail came late and I was sure it would be there, but it wasn't. I literally stood by the mailbox for like 15min & when the mail lady finally got here I just stood there waiting for her to put all the mail in... But nothing :/ she was laughing at me & I had to laugh too, lol
hopelo
