Not another NLN PAX question.

I know that questions regarding the NLN are plentifull around these parts, but I have some questions for those in the know.

I know the exam is timed, pencils only(I hope that mechanical pencils are okay) and no calculators.

This may sound silly, but I do tend to rate high on the silly meter at least once a day, but here it goes.

If you don't know the answer to a question, should you leave it blank? (If you leave a question unanswered is it automatically wrong?) I told you it was silly.

Is there a set order as far as what test they give first? I like to get the "fun" stuff like Mathematics out of the way first. ;)

What is the wait time like for your results? I do realize that this can vary depending on factors such as your location.

Thank you for reading not another NLN PAX post. :monkeydance:

Well I can't help you with the first couple questions you asked....and now that you asked them count me in on the silly because I would like to know the answers to that too. But--I do know it takes 2 weeks for your results.

Hello my silly friend. Maybe if we keep bumping this up someone will take pitty on two silly nervous nellies and fill us in. ;)

It's always better to guess wrong than not try! If you leave a question blank, yes that would count as a wrong answer.

Thank you Kelly! I've heard so many different things floating around on campus and wanted to find out for sure.
