NCLEX results on hold

Published

HELP!!!! I took my test 48 hours ago and I have been getting the pop up that my results are on "hold". At first I thought it was the good pop up and I was golden but, then I noticed it said that they are on hold. I feel as though I passed because why would they have to review them if I didn't pass?! I am a nervous wreck. They had an issue scanning my hand when I came back from break so I know that is the reason why but, I am not sure. Help?! Has this happened to anyone else??

That has happened to a few people I graduated with. How many questions did you take? And did you finish in under an hour? Because sometimes you'll get that pop up if you do.

It's likely your palm scan. Hold is not indicative of pass or fail. People have both passed and failed once the hold is lifted. The hold is done for quality assurance/quality control not to check scores. It's usually 48-72 hours and nothing you can do but hurry up and wait until lifted.

On hold with Pearson right now. I took 5 hours to complete it. I am so stressed right now!

hang in there.. I know what it feels like to get a hold up pop up.. i had it..after i took my exam i checked PVT and i was on hold.. the reason i could think of was my palm scan because i had to redo it 3x, and the lady told me that she is going to make an incident report..after about 56hrs. my pop up changed

That is exactly what happened to me! She manually had to override it. I really hope that it changes soon!

The same thing happened to me. Tested june 11, 75 questions, 2 hours, no breaks, and the palm thing needed a manual override at the end. The results on my state BON checklist changed from pending to incomplete yesterday afternoon (48 hours). Still on hold I wonder if anything will happen over the weekend?
