hi, i just found out that i was accepted the only school i applied to..an accelerated BSN program at gmu..yay!!!!!!!! so now i have to get a criminal background check, physical, etc. but i also have to take a pre-assessment exam of some sort. what does this mean? i'm already accepted, so if i dont do well on this exam does it mean i'll be "un-accepted"? or is it just to see the general level of the students? i think it has basic math, reading comp., and some A&P...but not sure why i am taking it now and not as part of the application process.
any hints?

In our school, no matter what your grades are, you have to make at least 75 on the HESI to go to nursing school. When I took the test, it was not hard at all. Only basic math, biology, A&P and english. Just revew your old books and you will do fine. Ask them what the minimum grade is for the HESI, that way you know after you finish the exam if you passed. The computer will give you the score right away.
