The candidate currently has test results on hold?

[pthomas89]

So I hear that if you try signing on the Pearson Website to try the "Pearson Vue Trick" that if you get a pop up, that's a good sign meaning you passed your NCLEX! I took my NCLEX-RN yesterday around 1pm. When I sign up, I keep getting the pop up saying "The candidate currently has test results that are on hold. A new registration cannot be made at this time." I am so nervous because it isn't the "good pop up". My status also says delivery successful. I have not slept at all worrying about this. Has anyone ever passed with this pop up at all??? I'm so nervous!!!

?Exactly what I got and I passed

[pthomas89]

Gosh, I really hope I did. It makes me feel better to hear that you passed with that pop up! Congrats! I'm praying its the same for me! :)

[RN2BEESOON]

I had the same pop-up & failed. I pray this is not the case for you

I got the same pop-up and passed. It just means they're reviewing your exam a bit further-- could be for finishing quickly, palm scans not working correctly, etc. I tested on Friday and got my quick results on the following Tuesday after my results being on hold. I know the wait will be tough, but hang in there and you'll know soon :)

Did you pass?

Same thing is happening to me ... I took it on Friday I guess I have to wait to Tuesday I am a nervous wreck help lol

It's the worst feeling in the world! I waited 6 days for my results. The good news is the longer you wait the higher the chance is that you passed. There is no need to put exam results on hold if you failed. (Generally) Keep hope alive!

That's what I am hoping take your time if it means I passed ! ayyy GOD

Not true. There are quite a few members who had results on hold for a few days and subsequently failed.

Results on hold is not due to pass or fail. It means your test, scans, keystrokes , audio & video need to be audited to ensure security & validity of the results. It can be as simple as a computer glitch or issue with palm scan. Something out of your control such as computer malfunction or more serious such as suspected cheating. If there is a serious issue your results pass or fail may be invalidated

Here a little secret, save your $8 call your states BON of nursing once you get the good pop up. They can tell you if your license number is pending the following business day you name appears on the license look up website... All the best :-)

I understand not everyone gets favorable news... But in general from what I read and experienced they usually take your results off hold pretty soon if you fail. Not always they case, but I like to stay positive :-)
