My school's hesi exit exam isn't a requirement that affects the student's chance of graduating but it's said that the hesi exit exam predicts the chances of passing the nclex. I have taken my third exit exam out of 8 and I failed it. I know I can't predict the future but it sucks feeling like I can't prepare and pass this exam.
Has anyone failed the exam but was able to pass the nclex?

Please don’t worry. I did pass my Hesi, but it’s nothing like The NCLEX. I found the hesi to be random and difficult, whereas the NCLEX was on certain areas, which you already know per the website. I passed NCLEX first time, 75 questions. Studied using Uworld, did about 100-150 questions a day over a 1 month span. It’s really just a safety test. You just have to know how to be a safe nurse. You can do it!!
