Scheduling

Please Note:

Due to high call center volume, it is recommended that you schedule your NCLEX with Pearson VUE online.

Scheduling Options

You may not schedule your exam appointment until you have received an Authorization to Test (ATT). Please note, the ATT will only be sent to the email address you provided when registering.

Waiting to call to schedule an exam appointment may significantly limit the selection of dates from which you can choose to schedule. Additionally, if you wait until your ATT is close to expiring, test centers may not be able to seat you prior to its expiration. If this occurs, you will be required to reregister and pay another exam fee.

First-time test takers will be offered an appointment 30 days after the request to schedule an appointment. Repeat candidates will be offered an appointment after 45 days. If you wish, you may decline the appointment offered and schedule later than the 30 or 45 days. If your first-choice date or time is unavailable, you will be offered an alternative as close to their first choice as possible.

Scheduling Via the Internet

  • Visit the Pearson VUE website
  • Sign in using the username and password (created when registering)
  • Request preference for date and time of testing at the preferred test center

Scheduling Via the Telephone

  • Call Pearson VUE NCLEX Candidate Services
  • Supply name and ATT number, along with other information to verify identity
  • Request preference for date and time of testing at the preferred test center

Scheduling at an International Test Center

  • You can schedule an appointment for an international test center either online or over the phone by contacting Pearson VUE NCLEX Candidate Services. 
  • You will be charged an additional, non-refundable fee and value added tax (if applicable) at the time of scheduling.

After you schedule your appointment, you will be sent a Confirmation of Appointment from Pearson VUE. First, verify that all information is correct. Then, call or go online to check that your appointment has been scheduled/rescheduled. If you do not receive a confirmation every time that you schedule or reschedule an appointment, contact Pearson VUE NCLEX Candidate Services immediately to correct any errors to the appointment.

An email address must be provided with your registration. Correspondence from Pearson VUE will only be available via email, including the Confirmation of Appointment from Pearson VUE.
