please help what should i do what if they dont give me another chance
They made me remove my headband! That was bad because if my hair gets loose, I tend to play with it when I'm nervous, An attendant sat and watched us the whole time. When it was our turn to take a break, they escorted us (one at a time only) to the bathroom. We were not allowed to access our lockers at all. Some people brought snacks, they took them into the testing room, but not until they were checked by the attendants to be sure no cheat sheets were hidden in them. People wearing glasses had them thoroughly checked to be sure there was no electronic devise attached to them. I really do get it that they want to eliminate cheating, but at our test center we were told we couldn't even remove our shoes. I guess someone got caught with notes in their shoes once. I am surprised by the person that got to go to a lobby coffee shop, we were not allowed to go past the reception desk once the test started.
Wow! My test site wasn't crazy like that but they were strict.
My best advice is to anyone taking their test soon is to leave your belongings at home or in the car. Take your ID...or whatever they need you to bring, a snack and a bottle of water. You don't really need anything else during the test. I didn't even want to eat on my break, I was way too nervous!
It's simple, just take your Id and nothing else. You can't use a cell, so leave it in the car. Your nerves will be a wreck, so never mind the food. Then when you're done and you walk out of the test center you can access whatever: cell, novel, diary, etc.
When i tested, I was wearing a light jacket because i get chilly. The testing supervisor made me take it off and turn it inside out so that she could check it. My nerves were so wired that I was glad I went in there with only a small wallet.
I really don't understand these posts. This is the exam that determines whether you can be licensed as a nurse. It's literally the end-all-be-all of what you've spent years of schooling to achieve. The rules are clear and made fully available to you before you take the test. WHY DO PEOPLE DO THESE THINGS?!
Depends on your speed, people have had it stop at a 75 questions and it took them an hour, and people have gone all the way to 265 questions and taken 4-6 hours.
I felt like I was going to the county lock-up when they searched me. I had to turn my phone off in front of them and they sealed it in a bag. I had to turn my jean pockets inside out, my sweater inside out, and I couldn't even wear my headband. They let me keep my pillow but they thoroughly inspected it before I could go in. I was very nervous as it was so I didn't even take a chance of going to my locker during the test. During the break, I quickly used the bathroom, drank a quick sip of water and returned right back to the test. Hopefully, they will just let you re-test. The rules were very straight-forward that we read and accessing anything paper related was a violation of the rules. Good Luck to you.
I'm sorry this happened. My school advised leaving everything in our cars except IDs and warned us over and over to be extremely careful to not give the impression of cheating as the consequences could be severe. I was so paranoid about it, I even raised my hand to request that I be observed removing a layer of clothing (sweater) when I got warm, so there would be no question of my trying to access any notes somehow (even though there were people and cameras watching at all times). I am surprised they let you access your locker during the exam. Anyway, lesson learned OP, I wish you the best of luck.
on that diary when i was study i was writen a some notes pls frds me help now but can i do. m so worried m going to depression
Am sorry this has happened to you! What were you told would happen? Is it that you just have to do the test again. I am pretty sure this would of happened to others as well at some point. But were these notes related to the exam?
