Hey guys, I took the Hesi Exit Exam, and my score was 960 and in the 86 percentile. I know it says over an 800 is acceptable, and over 900 is desired. But does this mean I am pretty set for the NCLEX? I am doing NCLEX prep questions almost every day. Is the Hesi really that good of a predictor of how I will do on the NCLEX?
Thanks
Tom

Re: My Hesi Exit Exam Score - predictor?

I don't believe it is and that's why there are a lot of nursing instructors, staff, etc. putting up a fight about students taking it. These are students who have earned really good grades during the program, but can't pass the test. If you do a search for "HESI" on here, one of the threads is written by a nursing administrator and she talks about her frustration with this test.

I wouldn't bet the kitchen sink on predictor scores but with that score I think you can be pretty confident that you are ready. Sometimes people read too much into predictor scores.
