It could very well be that they want to be sure that test integrity has been maintained, so they will put your results on hold until they're certain that you haven't broken any of the rules. They're probably doing an investigation to be sure that your results are valid and as long as everything turns out OK from that end, they'll release your results and you'll know if you've passed or not.

Just kick back and relax. This is really out of your hands for now, so there's no use in worrying about this until they release your results.

This happened to me. My results were on hold for 2.5 days because the hand scanner at the test center did not want to read my palm. I've heard it can be held for testing too fast, scoring exceptionally well, standing or not waiting for test proctor to get up, and other random things. It does not indicate pass or fail. Not much you can do but wait.

In my opinion..good pop=pass. I also took the NCLEX on 2/15...I got the goodpop within 20 min of finishing my test, and I paid for the quick results yesterday because my BON was closed for President's day. I checked my BON at 9:00 am on the dot and I am RN!!!!!

Glad you passed!!! I am still awaiting results because of the palm vein scan not verifying. Tomorrow will be day 5 and still no option for quick results. I'm dieing over here!!!!!!!:notworthy:

Once you've waited 48 hours and it's still on hold, it's time to call NCSBN / Pearson and light a fire under them. My palm vein scan also failed - they use (at my test center anyway) one of the cheapest palm vein scanners, so I'm not surprised. Very annoying.
