Please Help! NCLEX results on hold

What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing issues with their NCLEX exam results being placed on hold, potentially due to finishing the exam too quickly or technical errors. Some members have experienced delays in receiving their results due to palm vein biometric scans not being captured properly. There is confusion and anxiety among members about what a result hold means and whether it indicates a failure.

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone has RECENTLY had any issues with their NCLEX results being on hold? I took my NCLEX-RN on 6/22 at 8am, finished in about 40 minutes and the test shut off at 75. I have called Pearson vue to inquire the specifics of my hold, but I was given a scripted response I am sure they say to everyone. Any information would greatly be appreciated!

Hi! I went back to have my palm scanned on a Friday and my license was up on breeze/brn by monday! Pretty fast, although the wait is enough to drive someone crazy. Good luck

Hey guys I have the same question my results are on hold. I live in abc , I didn’t have to do a scan of my hand. My results are on hold.
My DON says that means I failed because my results are on hold. I don’t know what to do.
As anyone recently taken the test and results where placed on hold?

does a hold really mean you failed!

Hi everyone. I have taken my exam on Saturday and this is the pop up I am getting. My anxiety is through the roof and I’m not sure why I am getting this pop up. I have had just about every other question SATA. If someone could let me know if they have had this before and what it means?

Thanks for the response, I am upset with this whole process. I feel like I’m being penalized for things not in my control. Also, there’s no way to verify anyone is actually working on my hold. So it makes me feel insecure, what if I fell through the cracks some how? Am I supposed to wait an indefinite length of time for them to release my results.

The same happened to me. So did you get your results? How was?

So I was informed by Pearson that a rare "technical error" occurred with my exam (NCLEX-RN) so that's why my results are not available (I tested Friday and it is now Monday afternoon). Has this ever occurred to anyone else before? If so, how long did it take for you to get results or did you have to just take the test again? I'm stressing so bad over here ?

Yes, I had this situation before and it was because I went over my break time
