I didn't say that I thought the rule was stupid or not stupid. The rule is you may not bring in anything with you into the exam and that means you may not have any notes present prior to the start of the exam. Once the exam is underway, you can dump all you want because... nothing you write at that point is stuff you provided yourself before the exam began.

It's the rules we agreed to abide by when we signed up to take the NCLEX and their rules are very specific about not dumping and what exactly constitutes brain dumping. If you follow the rules to the letter, you won't have any issues with having your exam canceled because you broke a rule. Pearson Vue takes test center security very seriously. I'm sure that's one reason they're allowed/contracted to proctor many types of professional exams.

"Stupid is as stupid does:-Forest Gump!

But RNsRWe are right. We sign a paper that spells out the rules. It doesn't say "Interpret at will" It says "these are the rules, you must agree to follow them" and you cannot take ANYTHING into the testing room in the way of notes. 'brain dumping' in the lobby means you are carrying something into the room with notes. Thus-cheating!

The OP didn't say anything about him writing stuff down in the lobby, that is not okay. But if you're shown to your seat and given scratch paper you should be able to write down whatever you want.

It's one of their rules and if you're brain dumping, you're providing notes for yourself prior to the start of the exam. Whether you bring the notes in or create them immediately before the exam starts, that's still dumping/cheating.

Nothing was said about it being before the test started. If you look a few posts up it just said that he started writing once he was given the scratch paper. If it was before the start of the test then I agree that it isn't allowed. But if it's after the start then it should be fair game.

Yes, he started writing down info on the scratch paper before the test started. None of us were at the computer yet. I think that is why they told him to leave. At that point, I had never heard of "brain dumping" until the proctor said it's cheating.

Well if it was before the test started then he screwed up. Just like you can't open you SAT booklets until they say.

Yep. That's cheating, according to the rules. Once the exam begins, you can use the scratch "paper" for whatever your heart desires... including dumping all your knowledge onto it. At that point it's OK because you're now "inside" the exam period.

I recall getting specifically told NOT to write anything down on the scratch "paper" before the exam began... right when I was given it. They probably have video and audio of the guy being told not to do what he did.

It is clearly written in the rules that you are given to read and sign before you go into the testing room that you cannot write anything on the whiteboard until the exam starts, including the time that you are doing the practice module prior to starting the exam which takes about 5 minutes. I thought it was a silly rule, but I wanted my license and any "dumping" I did wouldn't have helped me anyway because most of what I expected or hoped for on my exam wasn't there anyway

The OP is playing stupid, sorry. If they made it through nursing school then understading the written rules for the exam that they have you read and sign right before the exam couldn't have been all that hard to understand. They did something stupid and came here to lick their wounds and get reassurance that they deserve to test again.

To another poster whose username I forgot, why did you bring a pillow in to your test?

I think this has been discussed enough so closing this
