@beautiful_me. He's good, from what I've heard! I took shieber, she was ok. Got a b

Yes you will receive your score right after or via e-mail later that day. The test is very basic. Fractions, must know all conversions... 1gm=1000mg, etc. vocabulary, reading comprehension, grammar.. The book in the library was very helpful!! The format is the same.. You will only have 2 hours to finish so make sure you pay close attention to the time.[/quote']
Were all the sections on the hesi multiple choice?

Hey everyone, I have a question for those who were accepted into the program...I took the HESI and scored an 86. My grades for the 5 pre-reqs are Math-A, Art-A, English-A, A&P1-A, and Psych-B (all taken at BRCC). Do I have a good chance of getting in? I'm worried about that HESI score.

Hello just have a question about the hesi. Was it all multiple choice and did you get your score right away?

MegAJ · Mar 13, 2014

Yes. Everything was multiple choice, besides some of the Math. You had to enter in the correct answer. (That wasn't bad). My biggest issue was time management. I felt like we didn't get enough time to complete everything.

Are you applying this year? I feel June is soooooo far away. lol

I forgot to add: You will get your score right away. An e-mail will be sent to the email you register with.

Yes, I applied this year. I am so anxious as to how many people applied etc. I take the hesi Monday. Did you buy the practice book from the bookstore? if so was it extremely similar, and how many questions was the math section? (i know, alot of questions, i'm just anxious) I personally think you still have a good chance, be optimistic and dont let others gpa post affect how you feel. It all depends on the people who apply with us this year.

It's very similar to the book but the questions do vary. The math had 55 questions as did most of the other sections. How is your GPA? I've heard GPA holds the most weight, then the HESI, and how many classes you took at BRCC.

I am currently retaking math and psych 201 because I want better than a b. I've taken all the prerequisites plus eng 102, psych 202, and two extra electives. I have a b in a&p that I am going to keep! (Lol) so I'm basically trying for 95+ on the hesi! We shall see! I'm very nervous and anxious but I think we stand a great chance! I'm just hoping not a lot of people applied :/ I want to ask but i don't think they'll tell me. That's crazy that you only get 2h to finish 100+ questions. Thanks for the heads up on the hesi. Did any of the people in your hesi testing class share their results? I'm curious as to what's the overall average so far. I am planning on taking A&p2 and maybe micro this summer.
Btw- I wouldn't worry about your hesi score I think your gpa would suffice.
My gpa, assuming that I finish these two classes this semester with an A, will be a 3.4.

I'm in A&P 2 this semester and I'm planning on taking micro this summer as well (if there is an evening class). Only one girl told me, I think she made a 92,93, 94? She did very well. (I think she has all A's besides A&P. She has a C in that class. I cant remember what her grade in Math was).

You will get 3 hours to complete all 4 sections. The math and reading took me the longest. I finished 15 minutes before time was up. Honestly, I felt like I was rushed through the entire thing. Plus, you don't get a break in between the sections. (Or at least no one in my testing class did).

Also, I've heard BRCC will release the statistical GPA and HESI scores of those who got in from the previous year. Not sure how true that is, but I'm too afraid to call and ask. lol Probably 70% of my A&P2 class is applying this year! I think there may be a big pool this year.

Calculator, did they let you use one? I am going to call and ask lol. I don't want to but they can either say yes or no! Right, when I took anp1 last semester almost EVERYone was applying for nursing. They should definitely find a way to get more funds to accept more people! 60 people is not by far a huge amount. Let's just hope that we get in! I know this is definitely my calling, so if this year doesn't permit my acceptance I am definitely going to continue taking classes toward my bachelors and maybe apply a few other places as well! Since my gpa will be like 3.4 I'm really going to need a 90++ on the hesi. We shall see! I go Monday! ( I did call and ask about the lowest gpa accepted last year, it was a 3.1! I didn't think to ask about hesi score. )

You can only use the computer's calculator. But be careful with it...sometimes when you click a number, it doesn't show up so you have to check everything.

I really hope we get in too! Can you e-mail me when you call? I'm anxious to know! haha!
