You didn't actually complete the trick. You literally have to submit your payment and then it will fail to go through buuuut don't matter! You passed! Congrats RN!
I took the NCLEX on Friday July 6th I had 139qs and then an extra 15-20qs for a special research section that wasn't counted towards my score. Finished in less than 2 hours. I tried the PVT after I received an email from Pearson recognizing I had taken my exam. I got the good pop up! My friend also took the nclex the same day and tried the PVT and she ALSO got the good pop up. I wasn't too sure how accurate it was but i guess it was because we both got our quick results this morning and we both passed!
I told myself I would post after I did the PVT trick. Much like others, after the NCLEX I felt absolutely crushed and defeated. I had 265 questions and I wasn't sure if I passed or failed; all I knew was that I was dangerously flirting with my license. I did the PVT trick approximately 3 times before the 24 hour mark because I couldn't wait and all I could do was extensively google and read all nurses. I did it and got the "good pop up." Alright I thought, I'm still in this. I did it after 24 hours and I got the "good pop up!" again and I was overjoyed. However, all my classmates who took the test the same day as me already posted on the BON website with active licenses and mine wasn't there..... I was extensively and desparately trying to rationalize why mine wasn't up there if my ever so trusty PVT trick told me I passed. Did I fail? Am I the "one friend one time it didn't work?"
After what seemed like an eternity for another 24 hours, I did my Quick Results and I PASSED!!! IT WAS HONESTLY A MIRACLE. So yes, the PVT trick worked and I'm not sure if it fueled or quelled my anxiety, but I am a testimony that YES YOU CAN PASS IN 265 QUESTIONS! Don't give up hope!

Saunders is good for content review. But UWorld is the best for prep.
