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.
Updated:
Members are discussing their experiences with the NCLEX exam, specifically focusing on the Pearsonvue Trick (PVT) to determine if they passed. Some are sharing their test dates, the "good pop-up" results they received, and the anxiety of waiting for official results. There is also confusion around account blocks, credit card charges, and the implications for exam outcomes.
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
I am wondering how quickly the "good pop-up" is accurate? I tested this morning and finished around 9:15am. I had 75q, with 11 SATA and tons of meds I had never heard of, but I think it was hard in a good way.It is now only 11am of the same day and I tried the PVT and have the good pop-up. It sets my mind at ease, but I am wondering if I am jumping the gun. Oh well, I'll try it later, too!
What State did you apply? I also ended at 75. And I have 11 SATA, a lot of drugs and prioritization. I looked at Pearson, the result hasn't been delivered yet so I am still waiting before I do the trick.
Oh My God! Oh my God! I got a good pop up saying:
"Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact you Member Board for further assistance. Another registration cannot be made at this time"
Oh dear Lord. This is the happiest birthday ever! Oh Saint Joseph of Cupertino, thank you!
And to the rest of the people who prayed for me. Thank you. And to the person who posted the information on Infection Control, you are my ANGEL!
good luck, you will pass this time. i was in the same boat, i just recently passed my boards. my suggestion is be positive, use ear plugs. what i did is first i wrote my labs on the white board that they give us as many as i remembered. and i memorized this following, which really helped me and i just wrote this on the board as well and did well, because i had alot of isolation q's. here you go i hope this helps.airborne precaution (credit goes to the one who posted this on april thread, sorry can't remember your name)

insulin, coumadin, heparin, antihypertensives, viagra, digitalis, ritalin, actonel, accutane, anti-ulcer medications, nitroglycern, to name a few. try to look at the suffixes:
ace inhibitors end with 'pril (eg: captopril) *note that this drug increases potassium in the blood,
angiotensinogen 2 inhibitors end in 'sartan (eg: losartan),
beta blockers end with 'olol (eg: metoprolol) *caution with patients who are diabetic or who are asthmatic,
cholesterol reducing drugs usually end with 'statin (eg: atorvastatin) * note that if the patient experiences muscular pain, they should stop immediately and report it to the doctor, also not to consume grapefruit juice,
impotence drugs end with "defil (eg: sildenefil-hope i spelled it correctly...if not please excuse the typo) *note that you cannot take this drug if you are taking nitrates such as nitroglycerin or isosorbide and go to the doctor if an erection last longer than 4 hours,
accutane is an acne drug, where a pregnancy test must be done on females before prescribing them
actonel (again, this may be a typo) cannot be taken unless a person is able to sit up for at least 1/2 hour to an hour after adminstration.
know the acting times of insulin, which is fast acting, long acting or the lente. they may ask when will a person become hypoglycemic, and that would be during peak hours.
penicillin: if a person has an allergy to penicillin, they may be at risk for an allergy to a cephalosporin, in that case suggest a macrolide such as clarithromycin. macrolides are known to cause severe stomach pain for some people. also, if a nurse administers penicillin or cephalosporin, that the patient should remain with the nurse for 1/2 hour afterwards to intervene with allergic reactions.
most drugs that end with 'mycin may cause nephrotoxicity or ototoxicity
parameters for digitalis administration, and also that if potassium is low and calcium and magnesium is high, there is a higher chance for digitalis toxicity.
corticosteriods usually end with 'sone (eg: predinsone), may cause medication related diabetes, increase chances of infection, cause cushoid symptoms (buffalo hump in back, thin skin, easy to bruise, etc...)
aspirin should not be consumed with alcohol, increases bleeding, causes ulcers, should be taken with food to diminish gastric distress
antidote for tylenol is mucomyst.
dont forget your diuretics ... esp. those are imp. also i have some for now ...
meds that end in -sartan=decrease blood pressure, increase cardiac load (used for those who side effect is cough with ace)
angiotensin ii receptor blockers
side effects 2nd degree av block, angina, muscle cramps monitor bun,bp and pulse
-vastatin(lovastatin)=decrease cholesterol, lower tricycerides (note*lipitor at night only do not take with grapefruit juice)
antihyperlipidemics
side effects muscle weakness, alopecia monitor liver/renal profile
cox=osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis(relieve pain by reducing inflammation)

side effects agranulocytosis, brady/tachycardia monitor gastric ph/bun ***if taking antacids take one hour after or before taking these drugs***
-prazole=ulcers, indigestion, gerd (take before meals better absorption)
proton pump inhibitors
side effects gas, diarrhea, hyperglycemia monitor lfts
-parin=thin blood, dvt, m.i.,post surgeries (antidote protamine sulfate--check ptt should be 1.5-2.0x) anticoag. decread vit. k levels

i don't know who originally posted this, who ever did thank you so much for doing this. this really helped me.
whoever you are! you are my angel! thank you so much! if ever you visit california, i want you to treat to a lunch or dinner. you help me pass the nclex-rn (crossing my fingers i got a good pop-up!).
I tested on 12/12 for PN in california, and had tried the PVT as soon as I got home that day and got the pop-up, so I felt very hopeful. Well today, 26 days later, I received my official results, and I PASSED. I am so glad I found out about the PVT, because waiting almost a month to find out whether you passed or not can drive you a little crazy. Thank you all.
congrats in advance!!! n happy birthday!!
I hope the PVT works! I already told my friends that I passed. Haha! The last time I took it the PVT went to the Credit Card Page and I FAILED. This time, on my exam, there were 11 SATA, more or less 20 DRUGS and a lot of PRIORITIZATION.
When I did the PVT, it gave me a good pop-up. I am crossing my fingers I passed.
hopingtobeRNsomeday CONGRATULATIONS! and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! What a wonderful birthday gift!
You would think that since we live in this highly advanced internet computer age that these nursing boards would just tell us real time via email whether we failed or passed our nclex exams. Seriously, where are all of these $100's of dollars of fees for testing and licensing going. Oh wells! I guess all the suffering and hardship makes the rewards greater.
Sorry I had to ramble, I'm irritated that I can't my results until the end of the month.

Today is my birthday. Today, I took my NCLEX-RN exam. I just got home from Pearson Vue. I took it at 8am. The computer shut down at 75. A lot of the questions asked were SATA (I believe more than 10), drugs (more or less 20) and prioritization (more than 20) + Infection Control.
I want to try the Pearson Vue trick but I am afraid. I feel like I am going to throw up. Or do I need an ambulance? Haha!
It's my birthday today. Will it be the saddest or the happiest?
