What is a good score on the HESI?

[Tiffany110207]

I took the HESI exam for the LPN program & got a 98% average. I know that's a high score, but I'm worried alot of people scored that high & I won't get in. What is the average school that most people get on this exam?

I just took mine today for the RN program and scored a cumulative 91%. Baton Rouge Community College's Nursing program declares that if you score anything less than a 75 of ANY of the 5 categories, the whole exam is a fail and you can only take it once a year, so I'm happy that I did as well as I did. Math was mostly adding subtracting, multiplying dividing fractions and mixed numbers, only a couple conversions and also I had zero Roman numerals on my version of the test. Highly suggest doing what I did if you aren't a conversion guru; stared at the conversion table in the guide for the 20 minutes before the exam until they told me to put it away, then immediately grabbed my pencil and scratch paper and wrote all of them down before I forgot them. Made life way easier during the math portion, I got a 96 on it.

I got a 94% and asked my adviser at Chamberlain Sacramento what the average HESI score was for the last class, she said the average was 90%. I know this is an old post and you probably got in, but thought people going through the process might like to know the average for acceptance :)
