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.

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

"The candidate currently has test results that are on hold. A new registration cannot be created at this time"

Still waiting....why am I so unlucky!

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?

yeah you passed congrats! I took mine 7/3 and got the good popup, then saw my name on the BON on 7/5! YAY!

about as positive as a + on an HCG test

congrats!

how was your exam?

what did you use to study?

Yup I took nclex on 7/5 got the good pop up and passed!

:D 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!

I'm also relieved to hear from people who feel the same way. Hard to feel confident and relax until you get the "official" results.

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.

Oh my- I felt the same way! I was able to limit most questions down to two and I just had to give it my best guess!

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!! :)
