A graduate nursing student has received an Authorization to Test and has scheduled the exam.
However, a family emergency has occurred and the graduate needs to reschedule. Which action
is best?
Notify a Pearson VUE agent 24 hours in advance.
Call the state board of nursing and request an extension.
Wait to reschedule until after the crisis has passed.
E-mail the testing site prior to 1 hour of your test time. - Answer Notify a Pearson VUE agent
24 hours in advance.
-There are two ways to reschedule an exam: either go to the NCLEX Candidate website and
reschedule or call an agent at Pearson VUE at least 24 hours or 1 business day in advance. There
are no exceptions to this policy. Waiting until after the crisis is over will cause the applicant to
lose the application fee for a no-call, no-show.
A graduate nurse is selecting an NCLEX-RN review course. This student graduated at the top of
the class, is organized, plans study time, and feels fairly confident in the ability to pass the
NCLEX-RN exam. Which action should the nurse take in order to be fully prepared for testing?
Choose an online, asynchronous course
Study independently
Select a face-to-face, 3-day course
Sign up for an online, real-time course - Answer Study independently
-This student would probably be a good candidate for independent study with a review book
rather than taking a review course (able to make and stick to a study schedule, top 25% of the
class, experience with general medical-surgical patients, and confident about passing the exam).
An asynchronous online course would be good for independent learners who need more
guidance than self-study. A real-time online course and face-to-face course would be good for
those who don't plan independent time well.
