Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

Some tester have done this I think ... the trick to re-register again to Pearsonvue . If it lets you register and pay again that means you failed and if stop you from paying that means you passed. Nursing Students NCLEX Article

  1. Did you get the Good pop up or bad pop up

    • 349
      Good pop up - Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam
    • 27
      Bad pop up- Goes straight to credit card details

376 members have participated

Well I haven't gotten my result yet and I tried the trick and it lets me pay and went all the way to almost to confirm my order but I didn't ... Does this mean that I failed the NCLEX-PN??

Can someone help me please? I am scared and I can't sleep now. I have another week or two wait for my result ... I stopped at 85. Does this mean I failed the exam?

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 'our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your member board for further assistance. another registration cannot be made 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

August 11, I took my test. Yesterday, I tried the "trick" and initially, got a pop that said results were "on hold"...or something of the sort. Later on in the day, I was able to get to the CC page and was reading this thread like crazy to try to find a glimpse of hope from someone who passed even though they got the payment page.

Much to my dismay, this morning I paid for the quick results (I'm in Texas) and saw that once again, I'd FAILED. There aren't many people on here that post when they fail so I wanted to be sure to get my story out to those who were able to get the magical pop-up that seems so far...to be a sign that you passed! Congratulations! For those of you who are in the same boat as I, this trick gradually helps you prepare mentally for the quick results. It seems kind of coo coo to think that the almighty PV hasn't had their IT people correct it despite the numerous people that contacted them to confirm the theory that this really works!

A few months ago, I'd taken the NCLEX-RN & failed w/265 questions which supposedly meant you barely failed..... so I thought that since I only got 178 this time that I improved and passed? Instead, I guess I got worse in an area that I couldn't dig myself out of. I won't know for a couple wks when I get the letter but I'm going on vacation for 2 1/2 wks so I will try to to enjoy my time off to recuperate and try a new strategy of studying.....maybe leaving my house to study so I don't go A.D.D.!?!?!?! Nonetheless, I wanted to thank everyone for sharing their experiences. It gave me something to do for those wretched 48 hrs!

:crying2:Im so sorry for what you are going through...my heart is breaking for you and Im feeling your pain. you will pass keep your chin up and thank you for sharing your story with us.

Take care you are in my prayers.:redpinkhe

I couldnt read all the replies, but I dont think that pearson vue "trick" is the way to go...I know every state is different, but in florida your results are post on the BON website within a week to verify licensure...So if you call and ask for your number and they give you one you PASS!Good luck to all...
Just some insight. I also live in Florida and I took my NCLEX-RN yesterday. Per the trick I passed, and I checked today on the FL BON and found out I passed.

So the trick is real. Also it usually takes FL 12-48 hours to update your status, not a week (unless there's something wrong with your application).

Just took exam today ......I m getting pop ops too.......Our records indicate that you recentlt schedualed this exam. pls contact your member board further assisatance. Another registration cannot be made at this time

Okay - I guess I am another obsessed NCLEX-RN test taker on your hands. I took the NCLEX-RN this morning, the 18th @ 8am and I have checked the pearsonvue site and I am getting the famous "box". I have read through most of these threads and from I am seeing most of the popups are happening in California. Has anyone from PA had the same positive experiences with the popup? I, like most people on here can't stand it anymore - I can't stop crying!!!!!! 75 questions, no math, and 10 select all that apply - I know I failed.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!I am VERYYYYYYYYYYYYYY happy for you ! :ancong!::ancong!::hpygrp::BDCk::dancgrp:

I took my test today in pennsylvania and my computer shut off at 88 questions. I looked on this website today and heard about the trick, and tried it and it's letting me go the whole way to the payment and i was wondering if it might be too early to work because i only took it at 8am this morn. Somebody please help i am a nervous wreak and i need some advice before i explode!

hello! well make sure that your status says "delivery successful" if it does say that then try the trick. if not, then wait until it does say that. I took the test at 11 am and tried the trick at 5pm and it worked for me. good luck....

The candidate currently has test results that are on hold. A new registration cannot be created at this time....i got that message after trying to re-register for the test.. i dunno what's that to mean.. i took the nclex rn (california) at 1:30 today. it's now 11 pm and ive tried many times the trick and that's what pops up. im really nervous right now. i dont even know if i can sleep until i get the result lol.. but anyways, what do u guys think? it didnt let me pay but that's what it says everytime.. do u think its a good sign or some other sign grrr i dont wanna say.. pls help!! thanks

Servant84--I can try to give you a bit of insight on the "on hold" message. Long story really short, I took my NCLEX-RN on 7/31 and soon after got the very same annoying "on hold" message and, needless to say, promptly freaked out. So anyway, 48 hours later I tried to see if my quick results were up and they weren't (despite the fact that my state does participate in that feature). So, I called the NCSBN and I was told that they were on hold because my test had been randomly chosen for review for "quality control purposes". Apparently, each day that the test is given, a certain number are randomly picked and reviewed to make sure that all the testing procedures were followed etc, etc. A few other people on allnurses.com that got that pop-up said that they were put on hold because their fingerprint cards hadn't been sent in, and one person said she got hers put on hold because she is a really fast test taker and finished the 75 nclex questions in 35 minutes (which apparently threw up a red flag, and the NCSBN pulled her test for review..I guess b/c they thought it looked suspicious). Anyway, fast forward to August 7, my results were finally released and I found out that I had passed it in 75 questions.

So, the bottom line to all of this is...if you got a pop-up (even the one that said "results on hold") and you could not go past it (i.e. you didn't go all the way to the credit card page) then there's a really, really, really good chance that you passed the test. I've never seen someone on here that got the "on hold" thing that later found out they failed. Everyone I've seen that confronted this, me included, passed the test (it just took several days to find that out...which sucked for me, cuz I'm in a state that has quick results..LOL).

So, don't worry about it...you very, very, very likely passed it.
