want to find out if HESI is really like it says a good predictor of passing NCLEX

Re: How many of you scored >900 on HESI, didn't pass NCLEX the first time

i have not taken nclex yet , but scored 944 on hesi, the teachers were really happy and according to hesi there is like a 98% chance you'll pass if you score >850. i didnt study for hesi, but am still studying for nclex.good luck!

Re: How many of you scored >900 on HESI, didn't pass NCLEX the first time

I just finished my nclex this morning, did like 110 questions. to me, i felt it was hard not lilke other people said nclex is so easy. I am keeping my fingers crossed, i hope i passed. if not, i guess i will just study harder and i should be able to pass next time. BTW, i scored 958 on HESI in the May.

I'll be rooting you on. I take the HESI review class next week and then the exit HESI on the 12th. We must score 900 for our letters to be sent to the BON. What did you think of the HESI compared to Nclex? Hope to take Nclex end of the month.Keep me posted and let me know how it turns out. I'll keep you in my prayers!

I had a 1023 on the HESI (top score in class), graduated with a 4.0 GPA (best GPA in class) and I just took the NCLEX-PN this morning.
My computer shut off at 85 questions and I still don't feel very confident. It seems like I did a lot more "guessing" than "knowing".

Re: How many of you scored >900 on HESI, didn't pass NCLEX the first time

I had a 1069 on the HESI. Had the NCLEX-RN shut off at 75 this morning. I either reallly passed or reallly failed. I hate waiting to find out though!

Re: How many of you scored >900 on HESI, didn't pass NCLEX the first time

I feel the difficulty of everything i have done from most to least is HESI CD> HESI exam>NCLEX> Saunder CD
The HESI test we took didn't ask much information of diseases that i don't know, hard part is to pick the best answer. NCLEX to me is it can sence my weakness, and keep throwing me those question which drove me crazy.
I dont really know how NCLEX result works, but if as long as get 75 questions right out of the ones (110) that i did means pass, i think i did that.

Oh man, this thread isn't doing much for my anxiety. I scored a 1088 on the HESI and take NCLEX-PN tomorrow. Suddenly I feel like I slept through the last 8 months of school; as I study with my Saunders disc, my mind goes blank.

Re: How many of you scored >900 on HESI, didn't pass NCLEX the first time

Wow lots of you had hard core HESI tests. My school we had a regular lecture exam a week before our HESI. Many people didn't get that much time to study for the HESI because of the previous lecture exam. Not to mention during the HESI our computers kept freezing up and shutting down talk about distracting. Looking at all your posts make me feel my schools HESI testing was inadequate! I didn't do all that well on the HESI but we didn't have a lot of time to study. They also said that most people don't do well on the HESI at my school (probably because they have a lecture exam right before the HESI) that never made any sense to me. We did also take the RN-CAT and I did good on that but that didn't seem anything like the HESI.Confusing!

Actually, your HESI experience sounds identical to mine. We were told the prior week that we would be taking the test, and our computers were shutting down all over the place as well. Only three people out of the original 25 I tested with were able to just sit down and take the test all of the way through. Some would get a few questions in and then it would shut down. Some got 40-50 questions in before it shut down.
