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 just got back from taking the NCLEX-RN and checked pearsonvue, I got the good pop-up. I didn't feel great about the exam, but according to the trick, I passed. I keep checking and re-checking anticipating the "just kidding!" pop-up. Everyone is so happy, but I'm finding it hard to be happy when I'm still nervous that it isn't real, or it will change to bad pop-up. So, is this feeling warranted, or should I just relax and be happy?

Lol! I am in the same boat right now. I am getting the good pop up but I can't really be fully excited until I know for sure. It's a bit comforting to read posts where it has rung true for many others. But, damn, I need to see it! Now I keep worrying that I didn't do something right in the process, I messed up with the BON registration, that I wasn't really finished with the test, etc.
Just try and relax and enjoy having the opportunity to attempt the test (many are afraid to even schedule it!) You have made it so far- and I am hoping for the best. The PVT seems promising!
The exam was rough, but I was easily able to eliminate two or more answers right off the bat, so that made it easier to deal with. For studying I pretty much just used school books, an NCLEX prep book I purchased after graduation, and test question banks from NCSBN. 100 or so questions a day and a little study on areas I felt weak in.
I believe in the trick. I did the PVT and got the good pop up a few hours after I took my exam. I held out on buying quick results (my family nagged me relentlessly on this...but $8, really? And at that they're still "unofficial?" Yeah...I'll pass on that!)
About four business days later my license number was posted up on my states BON and I still have that $8 in my bank account. LOL!!
Relax, I'm confident you passed!! :)

She did fail. Which sucks. But the trick does work.
