Recently taken the nclex and received the bad pop up

Sour Lemon · Feb 15, 2017

Hello every I just recently took my nclex today I had all 265 I did the pvt trick as soon as I got out of the exam and my credit card was charged. Does this mean I failed?

The PVT is worthless. It's literally meaningless. Wait for your results.

I know when I took mine I did the pvt and it was accurate. I got the card declined message there was no money on it but they attempted to charge my card. When official results came I failed. So yes the pvt works

Anecdote doesn't equal proof

Tried it too soon, you are supposed to wait 24hours after taking it. This is due to the exam being scored twice. Unfortunately, you will have to wait for the results or risk being charged again.

PVT is very accurate, I'm so sorry

I also went to 265 in December, drove home and did the trick 2 hours later and I was also charged. Did the 2 day quick results and I failed.

How was your last question? Do you think you got it wrong?

I remember my last question and I think I got it right so I'm so confused with the grading.

There have been test takers who got charged (or other bad pop ups) and end up passing. It's unusual but can happen. The reverse (getting a good pop-up, then finding out that you fail) is highly unlikely. In fact, I read a large number of discussions about PVT and I have yet come across one person with good pop-up then fail.
