Results on hold pop up

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hey Everyone,

I took the NCLEX Saturday 3/20 at 2pm and tried out the PVT as soon as I got home and of course several times since including today. Well, I keep getting a pop, but not the one to relieve my anxiety over what my results might be. I got the one that states the following, "The candidate currently has test results that are on hold. A new registration cannot be created at this time."

I figured I would share my experience as there are only a few postings where people have received this pop up when attempting to register again to see if the "good pop up" comes up to informally say one has passed the exam.

Tuesday should be the day I will be able to do the quick results thing, however, from what I have read, people with this pop up have waited longer even if their state offers the quick results due to the reason behind the hold which for one person was they took the exam too fast, another person was told by their state's nursing board that their ssn was missing thus causing the delay-both of these people ended up finding out they passed the exam. I have found one person posting that this pop up came up and they later found out they failed.

I will keep you all posted as to what ends up happening in my case. I would love to have others that may have experienced this pop up post as well.

Thanks

Day 5 for me guys, my results are on hold :( Had 76 questions, had to call pearson vue and NCSBN....apparently I used too many white boards and they are reviewing them to make sure I didn't cheat. Ahhhh, wish me luck, I need it! I have a job on the line waiting these results and it's killing me. Hopefully my results are posted today, I can't take this anymore!

congr8tzz!:) god bless u!

I took the test on a Tuesday at 2pm and my results were on hold until Wednesday afternoon. I took 75 questions in about 28 minutes, so my state told me that they were not able to give me a "sure" reason they were on hold...but that it was likely that they had to review my testing video to make sure I didn't do anything to take it so fast. I have heard of people having their results reviewed and on hold longer than normal for fast test taking, excessive breaks and lots of writing on the white boards. Not sure if any of these are true....but all of my friends took 75 questions in about 1-3 hours and their results did not get held.

Took the test today at 8:30. I finished at 12pm. Results are on hold. Wish me luck. I promise to let you guys know either way.

It changed. Now the pop up says I have previously passed this exam.

I just took my NCLEX this morning. I also have this pop up. I'm so worried. I hope it changes soon!

I just took the exam early this afternoon and am getting the same pop-up. My results are on hold. I took the -pn and had the exam shut off at 85 questions , it took me about 2 1/2 hours, so I didnt do it quick. Im so upset right now, I really think I failed it. In my class, noone else has gotten this pop up. Everyone who passed got the good pop up. I didnt do anything unusual. I barely used my white board at all. I never got up to take a break. I did everything by the book so cant think of any reason this would happen to me. If I fail, why not just let it go to cc? I just hate this waiting when Im sure I failed, it makes it worse.

What do you mean you used too many boards? What is too many?

Hi I took the nclex PN exam this morning at 8 am and my exam shut off when I finished answering the 85th question. I been logging on over and over keeps saying TEST RESULTS ARE ON HOLD" I am no joke having a panic attack instead of celebrating I'm experiencing a mild anxiety attack my chests poking please has anyone failed with this freaking HOLD pop up I can never enjoy a victory without being kicked this wasn't my first time testing. My first time exam went to 187 questions and right when I exited the testing center I did the online trick it took my money sure enough got letter and failed. This time I'm hopeful because it's not taking my money. Also this morning when I got to the test center before they took my picture they did the hand prints they were having trouble be kept asking me to rub my hands together and redo it wasn't working so he RE registered me. Plz tell me I passed. Plzzzzzz

Your hold is a QC QA audit of your test from check in through check out. You cannot attempt the PVT with results on hold.
