Omg. I took my NCLEX this afternoon and did the "trick". It says my results are "on hold". After some research, I think I might be guilty of "brain dumping" which is a Pearson Vue rule that states candidates may not write on their whiteboard until AFTER the tutorial is over.
First of all, I only wrote "Fix the problem", "ABC'S!!!!" and a couple lab values. I waited in the lobby to take my test for 15 minutes...so I don't see how this could be considered brain-dumping.
Secondly, I didn't understand what they meant by "tutorial" I thought the tutorial was the lady talking to me and explaining the rules. Yes, dumb but when you're nervous and you've never taken the thing before, this is an easy and honest mistake, no!?!?
OMG THEY CAN FAIL ME FOR THIS AND POSSIBLY REVOKE MY PRIVILEGES TO TEST IN THIS STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How did this happen!??!? I am beside myself.
