HELP! Exit HESI

[patchess7]

Hey guys... new to this site but i am struggling extremely bad with HESI's! I take my exit next semester and i'm honestly not sure where to begin studying since what i have been doing for my previous HESI's haven't been working. we need a 900 in order to graduate and i am usually around the 700-low 800 range and clueless what to do. I use the HESI book and i also have Yourbestgrade and do questions from there. i use questions from Evolve's website and complete the practice exams and do EAQ's.. Are there any other materials i should buy in order to study? i have heard mixed reviews on the Saunders NCLEX review book so curious to know what everyone thinks about that for the HESI? I've also heard about UWorld but pretty sure thats more geared toward the NCLEX than anything.

ANY advice will be GREATLY appreciated. I have all summer to study for the exit and i plan on doing just that!! Please let me know what worked for you all! I am desperate. Thank you so much

Do you know what subject the HESI will be on? The one I took today was for fundamentals. Maybe try some questions from Evolve?

Yes it's our exit HESI so it will be over everything we've learned in nursing school I usually do Evolve questions but I will try some more! Thank you

I took my Exit on the 3rd and scored an 1180 on it. I didn't really do any additional studying for it because there really isn't a way to study for it. At this point, you should have knowledge of the content. Focus on the areas that you are weak in and do practice questions. I used UWorld, Kaplan, NCLEX mastery, and adaptive quizzing.

Did UWorld help you for the HESI? I've heard great things but also heard it was more geared towards NCLEX questions and not so much the HESI

Yeah, UWorld is a great resource. The questions make you think critically and the rationales offer great content review.

I've taken a total of 11 HESIs throughout the duration of my program and have never noticed a difference between questions asked on HESI vs. questions asked elsewhere.
