15. Any ideas on how long until I test?

    nicenrse replied to LoneWolfRN2010's topic in NCLEX

    I waited 3 weeks after the school sent my stuff to bon to get my ATT, and then depending on how many people have scheduled exams....you may not be able to get a test spot right away. Dont worry about it too much and focus on studying while you wait.
