RNsRWe's post in 48 hours after NCLEX and still no quick result? was marked as the answerPearson Vue DOES say that the Quick Results option is available 48 hours after completion of the test, so that is where it comes from. That is why we DO say "after completion of your exam"; it is not wrong. Someone who takes six hours to test can well expect their results to come later than someone who takes thirty minutes. Happens, and is reasonable.
However, that does not mean there aren't variables. People have been able to get results as early as 45 hours after completing the test, but IF THERE IS NO HOLD PLACED, you would be able to get it no later than 48 hours after COMPLETION of your test.
A Hold placed upon completion of your exam CAN and sometimes DOES delay the release of your results (via QR, or to your State BoN). The most common length of time for a hold is 24-48 hours. However, 72 hours isn't unheard of, and there's even the anomaly that goes longer than that.
Until a Hold is lifted, Quick Results will not be available.
I think the point to get out of the "48 hours until Quick Results" thing is to not be so hyperfocused on the very minute you finished the test, it's going to make you FAR less crazy to consider it a general timeframe, like CT Pixie said. While it is true it is based on completion time, it's not a guaranteed Atomic Clock kind of definite time.
You will get it when you get it. Breathe. :)

RNsRWe's post in Anyone Here Pay $200 Dollars Still Passed? was marked as the answerPearson Vue changed its registration software back in late August 2014. No longer will anyone see a "Delivery Successful" message.
It is true that occasionally someone will be able to register for another exam, and pay $200 to do so...and yet will have passed the exam. You are warned on two screens that the payment is non-refundable, so in the event you DO pass....you are out the money.
It's a small percentage, no doubt, but it has happened, and more frequently in the last couple of months I'd say than before that. If people keep doing the PVT (especially those who do it repeatedly when getting a 'good' pop up message) they are only increasing the odds that PV will take the money.
In a nutshell, YES it's possible you passed, but not likely. If you were able to pay on your first PVT attempt, it's even more likely (as the anomaly seems to occur with multiple attempts).
Sorry, but....hang in there until you receive official results. Then you will know for certain.

RNsRWe's post in Priority Questions Level of Difficulty is the Passing Mark? was marked as the answerPriority and delegation tend to be higher level questions because (for the most part) it assumes by a certain point that you have enough knowledge to answer them. Of course, you have to get them right, not just get them ?
As far as WHEN you get them, doesn't really matter. You will have 15 pilot questions that are thrown out throughout the first 75 questions of your exam, so they will "throw off" any sort of "order' you may be looking for.
When these questions show up isn't an indication of anything. Some pilot questions may well fall into the "easier" category and be sprinkled in between some of the "harder" ones.
Triage questions are, essentially, priority questions. Don't read too much into it ?
