HESI HELL!!! 2-17-15

I'm having the hardest time passing my exit hesi. I've tried and failed four times. I'm now struggling with even being motivated to study anymore. I'm trying different study methods such as study groups, but I haven't found any. Any info or tips would be helpful.

Like many of you, I too have to pass my lpn exit hesi with at least an 850. I just started my last semester of lpn school and my exit hesi is scheduled for October 7th. I've never done too well on specialty hesi's. I got 732 on mental health, 801 on pharm, and a 632 on fundamentals.(yeah I know that's horrible!) I found on all these exams after reviewing what I missed,that if I had not changed my answers,I would have done much better. After doing so horrible on the fundamentals exam, I emailed my instructor and told her I was dropping the program. I had lost all hope and honestly, hesi exams can make you feel so dumb sometimes. I had a talk with her and told her a majority of my problem was changing my answers. She said it was just a confidence issue,and I need to trust that I know my stuff. Read the question twice to make sure you know what it's asking you.If you go through your options and you know the answer, just click it and move on. I took her advice. I took my maternity hesi and got an 857.(still changed a few of my answers.) The following day we took our medsurg hesi and I scored an 889.(still could have been better, but I was proud!) So the point to my story is sometimes it's not that you don't know your stuff,it's just that nerves and anxiety can get the best of you. Go with your gut! Don't second guess yourself! I'm gonna study my butt off for this exit hesi and just try not to second guess myself as much. Best of luck to all of you that are getting ready to take you exit hesi's. We can do this!!!
