However, as long as you can hook up your laptop to the larger monitor and keep the laptop lid closed and position the webcam above the external monitor, it should be just fine. You can only use one monitor during the exam.

Can proctored exams detect phones? AI-based proctoring software can detect extra devices such as phones, tablets, smartwatches, etc. It monitors the examination process in real time and flags any suspicious noises and activities in the testing area.

If a candidate does not achieve a passing score the second time, the candidate must wait five days (120 hours) before retaking the exam a third time. A five-day waiting period will be imposed for each subsequent exam retake. There is no annual limit on the number of attempts on the same exam.

How many questions on the NCLEX do you need to get right to pass? You must get at least 75 questions correct, or achieve a 95% confidence level, to pass the NCLEX.

Answering all 145 questions on the NCLEX-RN alone does not mean you failed the exam. However, with each correct answer you provide, the test should give you a question that becomes increasingly more difficult than the previous one.

How soon after NCLEX does the Pearson VUE trick work? Pearson Vue trick can work after four hours of the exam. You need to log in and try submitting a fee if windows pop up saying you are not eligible for it, so maybe assume that you've passed!

Answer and Explanation: Considering that all 150 questions carry equal marks, we will need to follow the same logic as we followed in the example above.
