I took the Hesi exam 5 times. Finally, after the 5th try; I passed. It took me 4 1/2 years of studying, paying for the review course (The university made us take everytime we did not pass after the third try), and taking outside review courses, to finally pass this exam. This exam has costed me not only 4 years of my social life, but 4 yrs of stress and potential income. Out of 21 students in my class, only 6 passed. This test is a beast. The passing score at my university is an 850; I made a 939. I am going to pay the graduation fee and tell the university to kiss my a@#! This test is ridiculous! The university that I attended has changed their rules. If a student does not pass the exam after the 3rd try they are dismissed from the program, and if they want to re-enter, they have to re-apply and do the program all over from the beginning. Total cost of attending the nursing program $25,000, total lost of potential income $200,000 , total amount of energy it will take for me to tell the university to \”go to hell\”; PRICELESS!

I took the hesi exam 3 times before i finally passed with a 983. Only 9 out of 21 students have passed. I studied the review book the night before the test. I also studied dosage calculations. Those questions are worth a lot of points. I missed 40 out of 160 questions and still passed. It is a hard test. I got a 726 the first time. And an 848 the second time. Our school requires and 850.do the remediation on evolve. it really helps

I just took the HESI exam 3 weeks ago and I got a 94%. this is what i did that helped me, it might or might not help you as we are different individuals. 1 month before the exam i studied the HESI book from page 1 to the end. this book covers majority about 90% of what is on the exam. I practiced some NCLEX questions but i was more interested in the rationals because i was not getting them right. my purpose was not to get the questions right but to know why i was write (the rationals).
Good luck

Wow… it’s simply AMAZING to know that I am NOT alone. I didn’t know so many students were having this problem throughout the U.S. Out of 50 students, only about 13 have passed the HESI at my school. This test is HORRID. I wish the instructors would take this damn test along side the students! I’ve spoken to people who got through HESI and they all have told me that they studied HESI content to pass HESI then studied different to pass boards. In order to pass HESI, you must study FOR HESI. If that’s the case, then how does this crap-test prepare you for boards?!? I am very well aware that schools have to have some sort of student readiness method for NCLEX, but HESI is NOT it.
