Nclex Results On Hold

Published

Hi!!

So, I'd like some insight here. I'm an antsy person.

I took my NCLEX for the first time last Friday 1/23. I had seen a ton of posts saying how people had gotten their quick results on Saturdays and Sundays....but alas...they came and went with no results available.

I called Pearson this Monday morning 1/26. They said to wait until Tuesday and call back Wednesday if nothing showed up.

My Exam's status says "Results not available." Am I going to be having trouble with something? Have other people experienced this?

Thank you!

Ah! And I tried the PVT, and it said something along the lines of...this test taker has results on hold and it unable to schedule at this time.

If the system says that your results are "on hold" then they're evaluating the exam for any potential irregularities that may have been flagged by the proctor or by the system. Once they're sure that the exam is good, then they'll release the results. A "hold" does not imply a pass or a fail. It just is. If you're in a state that participates in Quick Results, you should see the "results available" status pop up within 48 hours after the hold is cleared.

FOUR actual days? To date, I have only heard of 72 hours....was yours really that long (in hours) or did it just seem like it? :) Did you count the day you took it as Day One?

And congrats :D

:anpom: Congratulations! The wait can sometimes be maddening, but at long last, you know!!! Also, your 4 day wait for your hold to clear is on the long side. Most that I've seen here take around 24-48 hours to clear, and the longest I've also heard of (until now) is 72 hours.

Now on to the fun part... starting actual work... :)

Well. They didn't count it as 4 days. They counted it as 2.

I took my test on a Friday and got my results on a Wednesday evening.

However, my fellow classmate ALSO took hers on a Friday and received her results on a Sunday.

So I count it as 4 😠.

But happy to have passed ☺️.
