Quick Results on a Saturday

Updated:   Published

What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing the uncertainty surrounding post-audit/hold results after taking the NCLEX exam, with some speculating on reasons for the hold, such as finishing the exam quickly or significant score improvements. There is also confusion about the relationship between exam duration and hold status, as well as questions about the accuracy of quick results and the timeline for receiving a license after passing. Additionally, there is a mix of excitement and anxiety as members await their results and navigate the process of obtaining their licenses.

I took my NCLEX on Thursday at 8am, I know Pearson Vue says it takes 48 business hours to have the quick results, but I have heard that people here have gotten their results on the weekend. Is there any truth to that? It's Saturday now at 8:20am and still don't see anything Pearson Vue on the pop up says my results are on hold.

aren't they closed on saturday?

i felt so much more confident after this exam with 75 questions, compared to the last one with 132, if I failed then I did worse which wouldn't make sense

Is there any possibility that I improved considerably and passed and that's why they are doing this considering I failed at 132 last time?

It never hurts to call anyway and listen to their hours. Additionally, 1.5 hours is fast but pretty average. I finished in about that time and so did many of my friends. The only reason why I can think of why they are still on hold is something happened while testing OR I've also read that they put your results on hold if they haven't received files from your school or something so they cannot issue a license. I would definitely call because I've read people waiting weeks but to realize the reason why they didn't get results is because they didn't get transcripts or something. So call if you can if you don't get it by Monday.

this is my second time taking the exam, so i don't think transcripts are the issue because they weren't the first time around

Transcripts have NOTHING to do with NCLEX results being on hold. Licensing by BoN yes, Pearson Vue doesn't care if the BoN has your transcripts.

As far as pass/fail it would be pure guess and speculation.

I read on their website that they screen and hold results if you did significantly better on the next exam

I said "or something" to identify that it may not be just transcript and that is why I said to call, aha. I just remember a thread mentioning not getting results and finally calling and they said something about paperwork. Although again, I could be wrong and be thinking of something else so I suggest to call if it has been more than 48 hours. GOOD LUCK!

You've gotten several answers about that on your other thread about locker with food. If you haven't read the replies there, go take a look at it.

I live in Indiana and took my exam on a Monday, 75 questions and my results were available on the Indiana pla site the following morning less than 24 hours from test, but all states are different! Good Luck
