HESI Remediation and NCLEX Success

Hi all this is my first post...

Has anyone used HESI Remediation materials on Evolve to help prep for NCLEX? My instructor told me that HESI is a good predictor of passing NCLEX. I did pretty good on my HESI exit exam, but others say it really doesn't matter how well you do on HESI because NCLEX is totally different.

I like that HESI tells you what your weak areas are and you can do the reading and case studies, but I'm wondering if that's a helpful way to prep for NCLEX. Of course, it won't be my only prep, but I don't want to waste my time either.

Any comments or advice is appreciated...

Thanks,

Jen
