FAILED the HESI exam

i failed the HESI exam twice. i missed the last one by 2 points. any advice or suggestions. *long sigh***
Only 3 people passed the first time and maybe 9 this time...out of a class of 45. How many attempts is a school required to provide and if you NEVER pass it then what???? (im sure that wont be the case w/me...just wondering)
My first strategy had none,the second time i focused on what i knew i didnt even look at...For the next time, i am carefully reviewing my results from the first 2 attempts, highlighting what i did poorly in...zeroing on to bring those scores up and looking at everything else.
I just think taking this exam takes very serious preparation, definitely more than when taking a regular school exam. i appreciate also that this happened because i know it is helping me to PASS the NCLEX.
There were subjects we NEVER touched on in class and not surprisingly this is what brought me down. I still will like advice or suggestions. i find it helpful to see how others study. Will we still walk, yes but it wont be as sweet ~

Found this written by Jolie in 2005: "t also seems that the HESI requirement was tacked on as a CYA move by a school with a less than favorable NCLEX passing rate. Perhaps their efforts would be better spent upgrading their curriculum, rather than relying on a test to weed out students who have not received an adequate education in the nursing program. These were not students who were in danger of failing their nursing courses, but rather high-performing students that failed the test. Seems to me that reflects poorly on the program itself."

That WOULD EXPLAIN the nonpassing by high performance students ~
