Hi All,
I took the Nclex Thursday morning. After hearing almost everyone I know say they cut off at 75, thats what I was anticipating! When my computer rolled past 75 my mouth dropped open. I ended up taking the Entire freaking exam. I tried the PVT but the message said "This candidate has results on hold. No registration at this time". Please someone tell me what this means. I have turned all of my forms in and there wasnt any kind of "suspicious' act on my part when I took the test so ***** As my luck would have it, I have to wait the entire weekend before i can speak to someone. I'm over here madder than a mosquito in a mannequin factory lol (Larry the Cable Guy). any info is appreciated.

@Nurse Crystal thanks for your comment. I really hope thats the case. I finished 265 questions in 3.5 hours so that may have something to do with it. I pray I passed:saint:
LOL i wont celebrate until i see it in black and white. I wonder how many people have actually got that message and failed!! Thats interesting/ Thank you so much

No, I'm sorry but results on hold is NOT indicitive whether you passed or failed. It simply means that your results are on hold. There was some sort of irregularity during your testing, it could be benign (finished quickly, atypical answer pattern, stood up as you raised your hand) or more significant (wrote on the white board before the tutorial was complete, brought review materials into the test center, used a cell phone during a break or bathroom trip, etc.)
if the reason your results are on hold are resolved (one person's results were on hold as they wanted to review the tapes of the testing session, seemingly due to not typical clothing for the area (this student wears a head covering for religious purposes) once the tapes were reviewed and it was clear that there was no issue her (in this case passing) results were released), your test will change to delivered status. If your state participates in quick results you can pay the fee to obtain the results.
As long as your results are on hold they will NOT be released to your board of nursing for review.
@JustBeachyNurse--I understand what youre saying and thanks for replying. I dont know if its just wishful thinking but it seems like the majority of people that get that message end up PASSING. I would love too hear from the people that ended up failing. This anticipation is killing me..I will be so glad when tomorrow comes so I can call them and see whats going on
OMG thanks for your reply..im still nervous but not as much. This forum makes me feel so much better. Thanks guys
@Nurse Crystal..EXACTLY thats what Im thinking. They wouldnt care how or why you failed..you just failed. One of my classmates that took it the exact same day as I did found out the very next day that she failed and she had all 265 as well. So im keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best
