Now that you have received your authorization to test (ATT), you have 180 days or 90 days to sit for the examination, depending on your NRB. This article is a quick guide for NCLEX scheduling and examination tips.

Nurses who wish to take the examination must register for the NCLEX with Pearson VUE. Registration details, such as payment options, program codes, and timelines, are available on the website.

• You may bring your device to the testing center, as they will ask you to put it in a zip lock and store it in a locker. Make sure of the following:
  • All ALARMS are off or disabled during your testing time
  • Make it SILENT or TURN OFF your device
• Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. As the exam will take time, utmost comfort must be your concern.
• Stay in a hotel near your testing site a day before your examination. This will make you feel relaxed and not concerned about traffic congestion or missing the examination.
