Taking Nclex, What's Allowed in test center

Published

Due to lack of parking at my test center, I will have someone drop me off then pick me up or use public transportation. I've heard that they provide small lockers. I was thinking of bringing a wallet, phone and snacks(incase am there 6hr). Am I allowed to bring these things? I would turn off the phone.

For snacks I was thinking granola bar and juice or water. Can I put them in a small handbag or does it have to be clear bag like a ziplock?

Would my wallet and phone be in the same locker as the snack or would they separate them so I dont use my phone?

During break if I need to eat a snack, do i go get it or do they get it for me?

Sorry for all the questions? Just trying to make sure I dont mess up before I even have a chance to take the test.

Please feel free to give me any suggestions. I think am more scared of the test center than the exam itself. lol.

Don't fear the center! U can bring whatever you like! They give you a locker and yes, you can eat on break.. And drink water and whatever you like. Just not be on phone. Obv. Don't worry! The center is intimidating but they walk u through it all if ur a first timer

You can bring whatever you want, but the only things you can actually bring with you into the testing area are yourself, and your driver's license. No rings, watches, not even ponytail holders (that aren't in your hair). I brought a bottle of water that I put in my locker, but I ended up finishing my exam in 35 minutes, so I never used it.

Thanks for the reassurances! I've read how strict they are at the test centers hence my nervousness.
