On hold test results

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Took my NCLEX today (7/25/13) in NYC and the test shut off at 75. When doing the PearsonVue shortcut, I get the following message: "The candidate currently has test results that are on hold. A new registration cannot be created at this time."

The test administrator initially sat me at one seat, logged herself into the computer, chose my name from the list of test takers and then changed her mind on my seat assignment and "Forced closed" the test welcome screen and signed me on at a new seat. The test went forward and I took about 2 1/2 hours to complete the 75 questions.

I called Pearson and they said I have to wait the 48 hours to check again; I have a friend who got the "good pop-up" from Pearson and she took it the same time as me and hers also shut off at 75.

HELP!! I am driving myself crazy!!

Day 5 and results are still on hold!! I know everyone said to "hurry up and wait" but this is torture. I called PearsonVue who said I should wait (yet again) until tomorrow to see if my unofficial results are updated by that point ; I also called the NY NCSBN who said that there is nothing they can do about it and that I should give it a few more business days....A FEW MORE BUSINESS DAYS!!??!? UUUGGGGHHHHHH

i would say just wait up to two weeks, as what you've said, it is not your fault but it is the PearsonVue personnel's fault, your BON is probably the one checking your result right now. just wait for the official result. i had mine 1 week after my exam. just don't keep on calling them. if your result is still not in your hand two weeks after, then try to call the Pearsonvue. just calm down..

"Pull over and go for a walk" still applies. :)

Like "All bleeding stops eventually," it's meant to get you to think about something else.
