PVT 24 hours or?

[luv4us3]

Hello all..... I am sure you all have talked about this topic tons of times but Im sure you all also know that sometimes it can be hard to understand things when a person is kind of anxious in their brain. Soooo here it goes. I finished the nclen-pn test yesterday (aug. 11) at 6pm. Hawaii time. I got the full 205 questions. I got home and tried the pearson vue trick (3 hours later) with a debt card that has $2 in it. It says that the card is declined. So,

1. I am trying to figure out if the card is declined because it has $2 in it and they tried to do quick check on the funds in that account or if i failed for sure.

2. Could it be because I didn't wait 24 hours? (if so what are the chances of that)

3. Is waiting 24 hours for the trick to work more important for people who had to take the full 205 questions?

Please help me out with some good and accurate feedback.

Blessings

First, this "trick" is inaccurate and you're better off waiting the extra day for quick results if your state participates.

Miss far as to answer, any result you get before 24 hours is worthless as the test is scored twice for quality control. But now that you have had a declined card, you can't do it again because the trick won't work anymore either way.

The declined card means you failed if the trick were always accurate. It has nothing to do with the $2 in your account. The way it "works" is if you passed, the system won't even attempt to charge your card and will give you an error. If you fail, the system attempts to charge your card in order to register you to retake. However, people can fail the first scoring, but pass during the quality control review of the test. At this point it appears you have initially failed (if your result is accurate, which it may not be). But you could still pass after QC.

basically, just wait for the official results.
