Results on hold?

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.

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.
