I took HESI A2 for School #1, which says you are allowed to retake it once. First time I failed A&P (under 75%), but passed the rest of the test. The second time I "failed" Reading & Comprehension, but everything else was in the 90's!?!?!?! I have absolutely NO idea how that happened because I did so well Reading & Comp the first time. Needless to say, I am completely devastated!!!
School #2 that I want to apply to also states that they only allow 1 retake of the HESI A2. Since I never told Elsevier to send my scores to School #2, can I take it again? Or am I completely screwed and they get the previous scores?

That depends on the indivual schools. Individual schools require different portions of the test. For instance mine required reading comp,bio, a&p, and math. Others just you need math, chemistry, and A&P. Some allow calculators and others don't. For that reason most schools only use the Hesi score taken on their campus so they can have control on the proctors and the test itself. I would contact the schools separately
