"GRAY SCREEN," does it mean you have failed????

Published

I took my second NCLEX today and it was horrible. So many medications, prioritizations and SATAs. I had about 215 questions (somewhere around there, I don't quite remember...too anxious to remember). Anyway, when the computer stopped, it turned 'GRAY." I heard that if it turns gray, that means you have "FAILED." Can anyone comfirm this??? I am pretty scared right now. I don't want to take again!!! :o

I did, I passed!

I don't know about that. I took it 5x. The first 3 I don't even remember, plus I took those at a different testing center. These last two I took at the same one and they were both blue. I failed #4 and passed #5. I think the computers may just have different monitors some older versions and some newer so they just may shut off differently because of that.

Hello,

I don't think so. When I took the test and cut me off at 75. The screen turned gray.

I passed.

I guess That would the last detail I would remember once I take mine.

the screen color has NOTHING to do with if you passed or failed. I got the gray screen and passed and some of my other classmates got the blue screen and passed. It has NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR RESULTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The color of the screen means nothing!

I wish this rumor would die already, it causes people undue stress.
