HESI exam study tips

Hello fellow students! I am in my first semester of Nursing school and plan to get my BSN in two years. This being our first semester, we at our school are expected to take a HESI for each class I'm in (Fundamentals, Assessment, and Pyschiatric Nursing) and make a score of 900 or better. If you don't make a 900 then we will have to take remediation and re-take it senior year, which I would love to avoid.

So my question is, what's the best way to study for the HESI's/Nursing finals in general? I have the actual review book by the evolve people which is helpful, but does anyone else have any advice? I feel like we have learned way too much this semester to look at every detail. What I've been doing is skimming the textbook chapter summaries, doing the questions in the book, and going through the sections in my review books. Anything else? Is it that hard to make a 900 on a HESI exam? (I have all B's if that helps)

Thank you in advanced for your feedback :)

    I didn't focus much on content. I made sure I knew basics (normal assessment findings, labs, side effects for major classes of drugs, that sort of thing), but I didn't let myself get bogged down in details. I studied test taking strategy mostly, how to recognize and answer specific types of questions. As long as you can prioritize using ABCs and Maslow, and know your norms, you'll do fine on HESI.
