PVT 2018. Does it still work?

[sekim627]

Hello,

I need help.

I took NCLEX RN yesterday on 2/28/18

It was my 4th time.

After exam, i did PVT but it was a "bad pop up" (Credit cared was declined)

Two hours later, I did it again once i received an email from Pearsonvue.

It was a"bad pop up" again. I was very devastating!! I thought i was well prepared and i felt really comfortable while I was solving the problems.

I am in MA, and i can check the quick result for tomorrow

Does PVT 2018 still work in 2018?

1st time: 7/25/17 bad pop up FAILED with 76 questions

2nd time: 9/9/17 "HOLD" pop up FAILED with 265 questions

3rd time: 11/21/17 "bad pop up" FAILED with 265 questions

But what about 2018...?

This time, my last question was shut off at 94, and the question was "priority"

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

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!

Don't be sad! You passed!

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!
