PVT question

Published

I took the nclex on 6/2 and still haven't receive my result, so I gave in and tried the pvt. I got the "good" pop up after trying to reregister (yes, I hit submit after inputting my cc info). Is this a good indication I passed? Thank you

Does your state do quick results or have you looked at the BON website to see if you have a license? I'd rely on that more than the PVT, though the good popup does tend to be a good indication of passing. If I was still waiting 18 days out I'd be on the phone to the BON yesterday to find out why!

I live in a state that doesnt participate in QR- california. Ive already checked the BON site to see if my license has posted already, nothing. The brn personnel informed me to wait an additional 3 weeks for them to process my file :/ so resorting to trying the pvt today was my only option after waiting over 2 weeks. I'm hoping the pvt is true!

The PVT isn't "true", it isn't "false", and it isn't "accurate". It is a glitch of the registration system in that MOST of the time if you pass the exam you will be unable to create a duplicate registration (which is what you are attempting to do).

SOME of the time, and increasing in frequency, it DOES allow a person to submit payment (create another registration) even though he DID pass.

IOW, you might have passed. Maybe. Probably. Or you might have failed.

The more you attempt registration, the greater the likelihood that at some point PV WILL accept your payment. In that case, regardless of your passing status...you will be out the money. Or if you used a fake card/expiration date, you will be just as uncertain of your pass/fail status as you are now.

Hang in there. Breathe. Do something else for awhile, and wait for official results. Good luck!

Thank you for your input! I appreciate it. I'll wait until I get my result from here on out.

It was accurate for my friends and I. I honestly have never heard of someone getting the good popup and finding out they failed. Good luck!

Pearson Vue will have to notify your board of nursing. I tested in MA, I paid for quick results and found out I passed 2 days after NCLEX on the Pearson Vue website. My license was posted on the MA license verification page on Friday (I took it that Monday). I hope that helps.

Electronically via secure data connection after the "second" QA/QC scoring is completed within the 24hrs post exam. How long the BoN takes to process the results and issue a license varies by state.

You haven't? Stick around these boards. It most DEFINITELY has happened...and over the last few months more than ever before.

Glad it worked for you and your friends. For those who it has NOT worked for, I doubt they'd appreciate anyone encouraging the PVT.

I'm thinking it won't help, unfortunately, as the OP has said he is in California. They do not have Quick Results, and their licensing process is much longer than MA.

I have been reading forums and blogs for many years about the PVT and I have yet to see someone get the "good popup" and end up failing. Yes this is my experience and I am allowed to share that with the OP, thanks for your concern. Please do send the link my way, where someone received the good popup to fail. I don't recall encouraging the OP to do the PVT either, as the OP already stated that they got the good popup before I even replied.
