I took the Hesi as my exit exam but in my program the Hesi meant nothing to whether we would graduate or not, atleast not my class. Now classes must pass a hesi at the end of every class to move on in the program and must pass the exit Hesi to graduate (I believe they have 2 x's to take it and must be remediated). Never once did I take the Hesi seriously. No points (unless it was extra credit) were given for the test. Only one year did I pass the hesi and that was Med/Surg. Every other one I did significantly lower than the avg. score. I never studied for the Hesi, can't even say I spent that much time thinking about an answer. I pretty much always went with my gut instinct. Had I actually crackd open a book before taking any exam I would have passed with flying colors. I don't believe it is that good of a predictor for NCLEX b/c avvording to Hesi I would not pass my NCLEX..yet I did w/76 questions.

My suggestion would be to read and read the saunders book. Know the HESI hints from the HESI book. The style of questions is different from that of NCLEX. Do the HESI CD so you can be familiar with the format.

Take your time with the questions. Understand the pathophysiology of diseases. Oh yea, know you math calculations. Best of luck. If you need anything PM me. Good Luck!

PEACE

We have to pass the exit-HESI to move on to our preceptorship with atleast an 850. I got a 901...I think its the equivilent of a 90%.

I am not sure how the hesi is scored, can someone help? What is the highest score you can make? I heard passing is a 850 but does that mean you made a 85 on the test? How is that transferred into a regular grade. Asking because the score is 20% of our grade.

From what I can tell, having taken it twice, is that a conversion score of 80% is equal to 850. But it's hard to say what the highest score is because they say it can range from 0 to over 1000 but as much as 1500. I think it depends on which version you take and how they weight the questions from hard to easy. Hope this gives you an estimate to work from. :mad:

I took the HESI when I was in school for the PN program and only scored a mere upper 700s. Needless to say, it was not the passing 850 mark. I still graduated tho cuz my school does not base it all on the HESI, I had enough other points to graduate. For my RN clinicals however, I had to re-take it again. This time I didn't even study, not nervous about it (I'm already a LPN and love my job) and scored 1197. I was surprised. I guess it does help when you've already taken the NCLEX and kind of know what questions they're asking about.
