Nursing Students NCLEX

Hi guys!

I took NCLEX yesterday around 12:00pm. I finished 75 questions in about 35-40 minutes before it cut me off. I have always heard that being cut off at 75 was a good sign, but I know that that isn't guaranteed. I could've actually failed miserably. I felt as though I guessed my way through almost the entire exam. I had about 15-20 SATA's and it was a complete nightmare. So here's my real question: I went onto the PV website to try the trick and see what type of pop up I got. I got the "this candidate has results that are currently on hold". I am sure it is due to how fast I finished or the fact that my palm vein didn't scan right for 2 tries before I went in. But what I am wondering is, how long does it usually take them to take the results off hold? A day? 2 days? A week? I just wonder how much longer I should expect this to take, and if it is a good sign or bad. I am freaking out because I do not want to take this exam again!:barf01:

The question. Is why is it on hold? But my strong feelings is you've passed the test. Otherwise pvt will direct you t CC page. By the way can you remember anything you've done during the test that caught the people in testing centre?either way remained positive. Keep praying.

I spoke with the BON and they said that when they pull me up, it looks as though I was flagged for completing the exam in less than 45 minutes. I know that I finished quickly and I already knew what I was on hold for. What I was wondering is how long I will be on hold. I just hoped maybe someone out there had a similar experience and could tell me how many days they were on hold in their case. I am guessing I will just have to wait it out......

They will likely review your keystrokes, whiteboard, and the video of the test. I finished VERY quickly (as in less than half an hour). They just want to ensure you didn't have an unfair advantage or cheat. Since you did not....it's just hurry up and wait right now. Probably one of the most difficult things to do in life. Review time depends on how many others' tests need to be reviewed. Hopefully you'll know very soon.

Good luck.

I took mine on Wednesday, pvt says contact Bon who don't seem to be working, what do I do to get my official results?
