I need suggestions on passing the exit hesi, I bombed it the first time! Any suggestions are welcomed! I bought the hurst review and kaplan now, has anyone ever used those for the exit hesi?? If not what else will help?

Kind of means what you mean by "bombed it." Review your score report and figure out the specific topics that you were most weak in and refresh your knowledge of those areas...
As far as reviews HURST concentrates mostly on content and Kaplan concentrates mostly on testing strategies. Do you also have the HESI NCLEX review book?
Best of luck.
Yes 203bravo I do have the hesi review book, I studied off of that initially I read it front and back, I also did mybestgrade.com. my score was 718 on the hesi. I am not sure I'd I need help on strategy or content. But which do you recommend kaplan or hurst?

I used this book
HESI Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN Examination: 9780323065856: Medicine & Health Science Books @ Amazon.com
I received a score of 964 on the first try. You need to read this book and answer all end of the chapter review questions. In addition, purchase this
Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN Examination, 5th Edition: 9781437708257: Medicine & Health Science Books @ Amazon.com
with the CD rom and do practice questions. Aim for doing 75 to 265 questions a day on the cdrom which has over 4000+ questions. Any question you get wrong you must open the Saunders book and read on the content for the question.
That is how I studied for hesi exit exam
