I think most people will just tell you to wait to hear about the results officially, especially since the PVT won't change the outcome. You either passed or you didn't.

You might want to check out the whole NCLEX forum under the "Students" section. There is so much info about the PVT you could probably read straight through until your actual results post :up:

I've read that it's recommended to wait at least 24 hours to be sure both scorings are complete.

I've read that it could be from a few hours to 24 hours to check PVT site. I got the bad popup, hours after. I will try again 24 hours after, as I took it today @8am. I have been anxious all day in deep despair! I am in Cali, and all these threads here, majority received the good popup and results were accurate w/ the BRN. Good luck to you all!

No pop up means a blessed thing until it's the one that you see a full 24 hours afte the exam is completed.

Doing it too early (as you did) means you risk losing $$ if your first score is a fail, but your second score is a pass. TWO scores are required before the test is finalized.

Check after 24 hours. Before is a waste of time, and checking it a billiion times between now and then doesn't matter. Neither does it matter if you check it at hour #30, 40, etc. When it's done...it's done.

Check whenever you feel ready to look. I checked immediately after my test (220 questions) and got the pop up that said, "Open registration.....cannot reschedule an exam at this time." Two hours later I checked again and am now getting the "good pop-up". Twenty four hours later I am still getting the "good pop-up" :D Good luck!!

Anyone reading this thread...please don't do this. Bad advice!

If you check too early, you will only have the FIRST of TWO scores done; you won't know if you passed or failed, but you WILL run the risk of being charged needlessly. Checking immediately after taking the exam is a waste of time. Only the one that you get 24 HOURS after you complete your test matters.

It's horrible to see people who get the "good pop up" right after they test, only to find out later they failed. As well as those who pay $200/ get the "bad pop up" right after the test, only to find out they actually passed. Both scenarios have people crying and tortured.....and for NO reason. Just terrible :(

There will be those who will not believe me, will say "prove it, post the link, I've never seen it so it isn't true". Ok...believe what you will. It CAN happen, it DOES happen, and ......well, all we can do is warn people! :)
