If I don’t go to my NCLEX exam, will that count as a failure?

Published

Pearson Vue states you have to reschedule 24 hours ahead of time in order to receive a refund. I am scheduled to take my NCLEX RN exam in the morning, but had an emergency come up today, and the option to reschedule or cancel was no longer available on my Pearson account. I called Pearson to talk to them about it, but the man on the other end was noticeably frustrated and would not give me a straight answer. Instead he kept saying, “ma’am I can’t refund you your money” even though I made it very clear I just wanted to cancel the exam.

 

Since I didn’t get to cancel it on time, if I don’t show up, will it show as an NCLEX failure on my end? I ask this because if you fail the NCLEX, you have to wait 45 days to take it again, at least in my state. I really don’t want to have to wait 45 days before I can take it, just because an emergency came up. TIA

I don't think it is a failure, you are just out the money

Hi! I am in the same boat as you. Did it count as failure and you have to wait the 45 days?

I am 99.99% certain that you must open the exam to have it record as an attempt.

I  missed an exam for Nevada and it didn't count against me as an attempt I just lost my money for the PearsonVue fee
