So I took the nclex rn today and of course I had the full 265 questions. I came home and tried to re register and says my results are on hold and can not re register at this time! Ughhhh so much anxiety. I wanted to hear from those who had the similar experience or heard of others that did. Holding on to the thread of hope that it was a pass. Best of luck to the ones testing and PLEASE get sleep the night before and eat well bc I did the opposite and reviewed until 5 am ( yes im a night person) anf woke up at 1030 to test for noon. Didn't expect to be there the entire 5.5 hours although I knew it was a possibility.

A test being on hold has nothing to do with passing or failing.

Something caught the eye of the test center and they are reviewing your test process (reviewing you whiteboard, when you first used it, how you answered questions (not right or wrong, but time wise) as well as watching the audio/video recording of you taking your test).

I personally feel if you passed, they put a hold on it to review, if you failed, the don't bother with the hold (they may still review it, but no need for a hold).

Again, this is just my opinion.

Hang in there. I had 265 questions as well...my test results were on hold for 4 days and I ended up passing.

Thank you both abd I hope thats the case. I did come home and began to Google some questions that I thought of especially at the beginning and some I did answer wrong which in my opinion should of been easy. My exam got tougher add I went on later but again who knows. I do feel however that I second guess myself way to much and doubt my first choice, something I know a lot of us do. Bad habit. I will keep checking and post my result. I did research other posts with holds and did see that it could go either way, pass or fail. I also read on the ncsbn rules the reasons of a hold. One that caught my attention was if the test center snudged a fingerprint etc that would be a hold. I had to redo my fingerprints 3 times when applying for boards bc they were poor quality abd displayed cracks. So my guess is thats my hold up. But I dont feel as passed. Still clinging to hope but prepared to retake and pass if there's a repeat needed. I know this time what I need to change and that is my bad habits and allowing myself the time to review properly. I am a mother to 5, with my two youngest being 2 and 9 months, and a wife. My reviewing days were limited and involved having the baby on my lap and 2 yo at my feet. I stayed up till 5am the night before making sure I read all info I felt I needed to since the kids were asleep. Bad idea I knew bc I went to the test center tired and low on engery which I added the second guessing. Some material I knew some material I didn't. So I'm praying its s pass but accepting if it's not and know what will be changed. Again best of luck everyone with any journey you come faced with. When one door closes, another will open. I feel God has a plan for us and a reason why he closes those doors for us. Sometimes we may feel we aren't ready although we feel we are or bc he knows there is something better behind the next door. It's life's trials and I will conquer them head on with faith.

So did you pass?

I got same message when I went I did the PVT. I hope this is a good sign. Keeping my fingers crossed.

A555: I am also getting the same message.

No I did not pass. I posted in another thread so sorry for not updating here as well. I did not prepare well and had near passing standard in all areas acording to the BON letter but not above to pass. I am using Kaplan and Hurst that a friend loaned to me. I will pass this time by preparing the way I should have done the first time. Good luck ladies I am planning to test October 21st.

I had the same pop up message twice, but answered on 80 questions. What do you think?
