Hey heartbroken43, you were suppose to put a wrong expiration date. did you see anything that said "Our records indicate you..........." in bold red on top before you clicked submit?

Wrong expiration won't prevent a charge.

Not waiting 24 hours increases chances of false results

do you think that's possible ?

There is exactly zero chance 30

Minutes post test that the second QC scoring was completed. The site verification and upload to main servers were probably just processing

Not waiting 24 hours increases chances of false results

Waiting 24 hours decreases the chances of a false result (pass or fail) but it's not 100% accurate. If your state/locality participates in Quick Results, that will be reliable as far as whether or not you passed the NCLEX. Your application still may have other things that need to be resolved before you will be issued a license.

The reason why waiting at least 24 hours is important is that the exams are scored twice. The first scoring is done on site and the second is done by another system at a remote site. Usually the two scorings agree with each other but sometimes they do not. It is very possible to get one result at the first scoring and another result at the second scoring. Remember that it's the second scoring that is definitive and is what determines pass/fail officially. Unfortunately they don't tell you when they have completed both scorings. Since they do QR for most states, it's highly likely that they complete the process within 48 hours of completion and submission of the exam for score.

Actually is explained on the NCSBN website that the second QC score is completed within 24 hours of exam finish. It may be an hour it may be 24 hours you don't know until results or quick results are posted.

You GAVE it your money - voluntarily. Nothing was 'taken' from you.

It has been stated on this forum hundreds and hundreds of times (practically daily) Do not do the Pearson Vue trick within the first 24 hrs. Do we live in such an impatient world that despite the fact that the trick is inaccurate (if it is actually accurate if done right) within the first 24 hrs, people insist on trying it 10 minutes after finishing and ask "Did I pass?"?

Pearson Vue did not take your money. You gave it to them of your own free will because you are attempting to use a payment system of the testing company as a way of determining if you passed.

I dunno why people keep saying to wait 24 hrs...smh! I had 8 friends take it. All of them did the PVT within 1 hour. And all of but one got the good pop up. I did it 30 mins after taking mine and got the good pop up. I don't want to be a debbie downer, but if it took your money...yea, that's not a good sign. But I could be wrong.

Good luck!

Second QC scoring occurs within the first twenty four hours. It may be one hour it may be 23hrs 59 minutes. It's a risk you choose to take when attempting to determine results via a registration glitch.
