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:
Hi everyone. I have a question. I have read and heard all this stuff on the "trick" where it won't let you get to the credit card page on PearsonVue if you passed. Well, I took my RN NCLEX this morning and now Pearson Vue says, "results on hold, candidate cannot register at this time" I had 110 questions and I took the Kaplan review course. I felt 100% ready and than after I walked out of the testing center, I had no idea. I was totally lost. Now I don't know what that means, "on hold" ??? Can anyone help me? Has this happened to anyone else?
That's a good sign! If you failed it would have taken you straight to the cc page which will let you reschedule the exam. Did you make sure status DELIVERY SUCCESSFUL?
I have only posted on this site a couple of times but I come here all the time to read advice and to get study tips. Today, I am happy to say that although I will still be logging on to this site, I will be doing so as an LPN and no longer as a student!!!!
I had to take my NCLEX PN twice. I took it for the first time in November of 2011. I had it all planned that I was going to have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday because I was going to be able to celebrate with my family, the fact that I had passed the NCLEX PN. While we celebrated and gave thanks for everything we do have passing the NCLEX was not apart of that celebration because I failed the test. I honestly felt really bad for my family because they were more on edge than I was. I am blessed enough to have a super support system so my Mom and my sisters did everything they could to take my mind off of this test that I didn't pass.
Needless to say, time went on, I mailed in the paperwork and my money, AGAIN. I started studying here and there and as the time got closer I got more intense and focused on what I was studying. When you fail the NCLEX, they send you this paper telling you whether you were above the passing standard, near it or below it. I was near the passing standard in all sections but 1. So, I used my Saunders CD, I got the Exam Cram book from the library and I got on Youtube. Oddly enough, Youtube has so many clips on there that will explain the pathophysiology of so many diseases. If there was something I didn't understand from reading my book, I logged on there, typed in what I wanted to know and something would come up on it. Anyway, I scheduled my test for March 13, 2012.
I actually left the test feeling good. The first time I took the test, I had all 205 questions. This time, it cut me off at 122. It took me a little over 2 hours to take the exam. I had convinced myself that I was going to be cool, calm and collected. I wasn't going to try the PVT. I was going to be patient and wait until the next day to get my results. That thought process lasted all of 4 hours. lol. Before I knew it, I was on the Pearson Vue page trying the trick. I couldn't help myself. My heart was beating and I honestly felt ill. What if the credit card page popped up? I put in my info and I got the good pop up. Of course, even when I got it, I was like, what if this is wrong? What if I really didn't pass? So, March 14th comes and I get to work and I log into my work computer and yes, I logged into The Ohio Board of Nursing site (I swear, I am a good employee but I just had to get on the internet today to check this). I get to work at 7am so from that time until about 1:30 pm I kept checking. The last time I checked, it took my breath away. I saw my license number and I saw that my license was in ACTIVE status. I immediately sent text to my sisters and I went in the hallway to call my Mom to share the good news.
I tell you all of this to say, if you do have to take it more than once, don't get discouraged, don't doubt what you know and keep trying. For anyone who believes in a higher power, pray. Ask for peace and direction and thank God in advance for giving you victory. Lastly, study the basics. If you know the basics of nursing, you can't go wrong. The basics will lead you to the correct answer even when you have a complicated question. You will be able to use your nursing knowledge and reasoning skills to get you to the right answer.
So, congrats to everyone who has taken the NCLEX PN and passed it and for those who are still trying, stay positive, study, surround yourself with the right people and pray. If you do those things, you will pass. Good Luck!
