I know it says, "two business days" but does that mean monday or tuesday? Has anyone gotten results on the weekend? As with almost everyone else, I am almost positive I failed. I know I need to remain calm and wait to see actual results but I really feel I failed. I got a ton of SATA, like 10+, a lot of pharm I barely remembered what they were used for let alon questions about them, and NO med calc ?s. :cry: I love med calc. Anyway, it stopped at 75 so my feeling is I failed because I was literally guessing half the time. Anyway, any info would be greatly appreciated.

I took it today too. Feel like I flunked. Mine stopped at 80 or 81 (can't remember). Wish it had been 75. I thought mine was based on the last question I answered or something. I'm guessing it'll be available Monday or Tuesday. Doesn't stop me from checking though.

Good Luck! I'm sure you did great!

I know the amount of questions doesn't REALLY determine anything, but I passed with 75 questions and so did everyone else who I know. But good luck and I'll be praying for you.

If looking at pearsonvue then it is 48 hours including weekends, if looking at the BON website then depends on how often they update their site

Virginia doesn't participate in quick results. On the Virginia BON website, it takes 48 hours to post there, but the automated number is listed on the Virginia BON website, and the results are available the next business day.

I meant to put this in another thread. Sorry. Don't know how to delete it.

I don't feel too good about mines either. It stopped at 75, but I'm convinced that's not a good thing. My heart has been racing all day with the results of this test on my mind.

I took it today too, and feel lousy about it, just like everyone else. The guy at the testing center told me to start looking on Pearsonvue tomorrow afternoon, as they often post earlier than 48 hours. I hope everyone gets good news!!

Sorry, but that guy give you completely inaccurate information. Pearson-Vue never posts before the 48 hours are up at the minimum.

Their own website states two business days from testing, but we see them posting at 48 hours; never earlier.

Your own state BON may have the results up earlier, so you can try that first.

Only about 27 states actually participate in early results.

Best of luck to you.

I took the Nclex today too, In my state (Massachusetts) , with Pearson the wait is two business days. Someone mentioned that the 48 hours includes weekends but I don't know that for sure. Just keep checking. I am very nervous because I thought the exam was hard........the questions were really hard and I did the guessing game a lot. I was hoping for more questions to try and redeem myself but the computer shut off at 87 . I am trying to relax and calm down but I keep going back to my books to try and see if I can recall some questions and look up the answers. I am hoping for the best and also trying to prepare myself for the worst.

Be positive, and just hang in there till you know. .............Good luck though and all the best.

We are in the same boat same state I took mine today and all I got was 77-78 questions I was wishing for more and what made it worse was that my last question was an SATA if that means anything. I will start stalking pearson vue sunday night in to monday all day. Do you know how often Mass BON refreshes there website?
