Person Vue Trick-It was wrong for me. June 2016

Published

Hi everyone. I wanted to make a post because I just passed my NCLEX and have a license number on my state BON. I took my test Monday June 13 at 2 pm. I was done by 3:45 and the screen shut off at 75 questions. I felt horrible about the rest and cried all the way home.

I tried to Person Vue trick about 2 hours after my test and it said my reaults were on hold. Now I know that you need to wait after 24 hours for them to be more accurate. So I did it at 24 hours and a few more times after and I did it at 40 hours and I got the bad pop up. I put in an active debit card number and a wrong expiration day and clicked submit and it tried to take my payment. The next screen said please enter a valid expiration date. I was devastated!! I just knew I failed. I was preparing myself to call my new job to let them know I didn't pass and was trying to find the words to tell my family and friends. I had done well in nursing school and I had a 99% chance of passing it on the first time according to my ATI score. I had done the Hurst review and did fairly well on their Q-tests too.

I composed myself to call Pearson and ask why my results were on hold and why it was letting me register for a new exam and why it changed from saying its on hold to trying to take $200. I know everyone says if you get the bad pop up where it makes you pay, then your failed. So I asked him about it and he says their new update to their system will allow anyone to register REGARDLESS if you passed or not until the quick results are ready, or your BON receives the results.

If I would have been a little more patient, and just waited a few more hours I would have saved myself a ton of heartbreak and tears. Because he told me my hold was temporary and my quick results would be available on today, Thursday June 16 after 12. But low and behold a few hours later Wednesday evening around 7:45 I happen to check the Pearson website and my quick results were ready, I PASSED!!! Now remember they let me go all the way through setting up a new registration and even tried to take my money (and my bank flagged my debit card) and I passed. This morning at 8am when my BON had posted my license number and I am officially a RN.

I know many on here claim it worked for them and they passed. But the Pearson website updated their systems this past weekend. Maybe they got smart about the glitch. It will take your money even if you passed and it's not refundable. He made that very clear to me. So please don't do what I did and put yourself through needless hurt. It didn't work and I passed. There is still hope. Wait for quick their quick results and pay the $8 or wait to contact your BON. Glory to God that I made it through nursing school and I passed the NCLEX I could have sworn I failed!!

So, FYI, when you put in a credit card number (even when you do something as benign as putting/swiping your credit card through the machine at a gas pump) it will 'hold' the card information to verify it. It's not trying to take your payment at that point. It is literally verifying that you gave it right or wrong information. The Pearson Vue website works the same way. If you put in false/fake payment information, it will figure it out. The website gave you the message that your results are on hold because of your dishonesty (i.e. the system won't accept fake information that would lead to a fake payment). It had nothing to do with the Pearson Vue Trick being either right or wrong. So, for all of you claiming it doesn't work, think about that if you used false/fake information.

I am very sorry but your wrong. My results were on hold because of anything I did 'dishonesty'. They were on hold because I finished my test so quickly-straight from the mouth of a Supervisor at Pearson. Nothing at all about putting in an invalid expiration date. Thank you so very much for you 'insight' but unfourtantly you are wrong
