  1. Go to NCLEX Examinations :: Pearson VUE.
  2. Select the 'test taker services' tab at the top.
  3. Click 'register' on the right side.
  4. Click the 'credit card' link.
  5. Click the 'sign in' link in the second sentence.
  6. Enter your username.
  7. Enter your password.
  8. Click the button.
  9. Click 'register' on the left side.
  10. Select your test type.
  11. Click the button.
  12. Select your country.
  13. Click the button.
  14. Answer the yes/no questions.
  15. Select your country again.
  16. Select your state.
  17. Type in your city.
  18. Click the button. a list of schools should appear.
  19. Select your school.
  20. Select the month and year of your graduation.
  21. Select your board of nursing.
  22. Click the button.

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 NCLEX for the first time this morning. I felt like crap after the test and was absolutely convinced that I bombed it big time - it shut off for me at 75 questions. I was quite apprehensive to try the PV trick so I procrastinated going home by eating out for breakfast, grocery shopping and taking the long way home. But f course, I broke down and did it anyway and I got this:

:D:D

For fellow Canadians who are wondering, yes, it works.

Surprisingly, I thought the test was quite similar to the CRNE. A lot of psychosocial support, health teaching and rarely any negative query questions. Must be my set of questionnaires.

EDIT: I'd like to thank AN for being a massive resource for studying. Keep it up, gang!

I took my NCLEX-RN today... had 75 questions...and when I got home I got the "good pop-up" that stated something like "this candidate has previously passed this exam, and cannot register". I was feeling really good until someone told me they have heard of it being wrong before. So I was just wondering if anyone has ever heard of it being wrong? I am now doubting myself. And this wait is killing me.

Should I be concerned that this is the "new good pop up" messsage.. because in the past ive heard the message say somethiing else.

I took the test yesterday and I've been checking the state website to see if I passed! Nothing, I currently work as a Graduated Nurse Permit, and I still see its active. Well I tired the Pearson Vue trick site...it said "this candidate has passed the exam...etc" but I'm not sure if it really means I passed! I still don't see anything on the state website. Does it mean I really passed? Anxious!!!

Wow... Really hope this is legit... I took the test at 8am this morning, it is now 2:58, and I checked for the "trick" Sure enough, I got the error message :)

I really hope this is true, because I dont see how it could say "This person has passed this exam", if it wasn't true.

Stay strong people.. I walked out of there after 146 questions full of meds I never heard of, TONS of isolation questions, as well as priority and re-assigning nurses from other floors to work in other departments.. I was sure I failed...

Took my NCLEX-RN on October 11, 2011. Finished at 75 questions. Did the Pearsonvue trick within an hour of taking the exam and got the "good pop up". I was still skeptical about it even after reading tons and tons of reviews on how accurate it was. I checked the Pearsonvue site multiple times each day to see if maybe it was an error (it doesn't change, believe me). Low and behold 3 days later I check the BRN website at 10am on October 14 and found out I was an officially licensed REGISTERED NURSE of CALIFORNIA! I still can't believe I passed with 75 questions.

To give hope to others, I took my exam twice. I unfortunately didn't pass the first time and ended at 75 questions so when I took it the second time it stopped at 75 questions also! Yeah, just my luck right?! So you can imagine how I felt afterwards. Just stick to a plan on studying and making your weak points strong! I'm one of the few who actually did not find Kaplan helpful and instead stuck to the Saunders 5th edition textbook (and read the ENTIRE book) as well as taking a study course here in Burbank.

Good luck to future test takers and my fellow future nurses =)

hahah I swear.. I think it is nursing school that makes us all so neurotic. I keep checking mine to see if its going to miraculously "change", and I keep getting that same feeling of anxiety everytime I go to look.. Ill take your word on it that its not going to change ;)

The trick worked for me. I took the exam last wednesday (the 12th) and got the good pop up. Today my license came in the mail.

I live in CA, I got my results pretty fast.

Ok, I have said this before but I know the pain of waiting so I will say it again. I took a private facebook poll from ALL of the students in my graduating class. The "trick" is 100% real, everyone who passed got the good pop up. The few who were unsuccessful went right to the credit card screen. One student actually asked the check in person at pearson vue after the NCLEX. The employee said "I know nothing about that" while shaking her head in affirmation that it is in fact real.
