So would I be correct in saying there is no way to do the PVT without actually submitting a $200 payment that may or may not be refunded? Because that's what I'm trying to get at here :)

Right. My whole point is that being prompted through the whole credit card process means nothing and that the so call PVT is not a thing anymore.

I wanted to post about the whole "pearson vue trick" because over the past year people have said it works and doesn't work. I tested on 8/4/15. At no point before my unofficial results did I receive the "good pop-up". I entered in all my information up to before actually hitting the submit payment button when trying the trick. Some people say the pop-up should happen before, but it didn't and I wasn't about to submit a $200 payment if I passed. I did pass by the way! I live in Illinois and if you do too you can go to the continental testing website where you signed up for you ATT number and click "get your application status and grades" put in your information and see if they have your grade up yet. If it says "incomplete for licensure" under overall exam results that DOES NOT mean you failed. That just means they don't have your results yet. When the bottom of the page has your exam date and grade listed is when you can find out if you passed. It works about a day before your pearson vue quick results. Mine said pass and so did my quick results! Words can not describe my relief! Good luck to you all and I do want to encourage any one who does not pass to keep trying. I my self am a repeat test taker. It took a couple tries, but hard work does pay off! I recommend Hurst review and the Saunders nclex book for content review, and Kaplan for questions and test strategy!
