Results on hold?

Published

I took my NCLEX today and my test stopped at 75. I got 21 SATA, priority, infection control, 2 drag and drop. I finished in 35 minutes which I heard could be why my results are on hold. Does it sound like I passed I'm so nervous??

HI Meg86an, from what I've read of the NCLEX result processing, some states let you get "Quick Results" which are available 2 days after testing. I found this process detailed on the NCSBN website (National Council of State Boards of Nursing). https://www.ncsbn.org/1222.htm

Quick Results

Some candidates may access their "unofficial" results two business days after taking their examination. Only the board of nursing to which you applied can release your official results. The NCLEX results in the Quick Results Service are unofficial, and do not authorize you to practice as a licensed nurse.

Participating Boards of Nursing

Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia-PN, Georgia-RN, Hawaii, Illinois, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana-RN, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virgin Islands (Web only), Washington, West Virginia-PN, Wisconsin, Wyoming.

Accessing The Quick Results Service

Go to www.pearsonvue.com/nclex, sign in with your user name and password.

  1. Find "Current Activity."
  2. Under "Recent Appointments," find the row with your current test
  3. Go to "Status."
  4. Double click on "Quick Results" link.
  5. If your results are available, a credit card payment page will display. The fee for this service is $7.95.
  6. Fill in the payment information, click on the Continue button, and a confirmation page will display.
  7. Click ONLY ONCE on the Confirm Order button, and your exam results will appear.

In order to receive your results, you must provide a credit card number to which the $7.95 charge can be billed. (Please note: Your credit card will only be charged if your results are available.)

Hope that helps, and best wishes.

What's the reason behind it being put on hold?

You can definitely be flagged for testing so quickly. Hang in there.

Did you ever find out why your results were on hold? I took mine yesterday and same deal here. How long did it take to get off hold?

Yep, my test results are also on hold. I tested on 3/3/14. Heard it could be a multitude of things. One could be from the palm vein scan. I had difficulty with mine and was informed by a reputable source that it was because they audited my exam to verify the palm scan. And for that it will take a few more days to receive results. Ohio uses quick results, so I will be checking tomorrow!!!

Chriss20, any results yet? I am still unable to access quick results. Test still on hold. Pearson confirmed that it was due to the palm vein scan.
