Hesi to NCLEX passing

Published

Hi everyone, I just graduated in May and am scheduled to take boards the first part of June. Does anyone know if it is the overall score on the HESI that needs to be at least 850 to have a 94% pass of passing, or if each individual topic needs to be at a 850? I got an overall score of 897 (I know some schools make you have a 900, but mine didn't have a set score needed) I did not study at all for the hesi. I went to the Hurst review this past week, and am really hoping that helps me pass the NCLEX. Oh I am so nervous. I was confident until I looked back at some lower scoring areas on my HESI. What do you guys know/think???

U will be ok. I scored in the high 600s on hesi and passed boards my first time. Both rn and lpn. Hesi doesnt mean anything, its just a number.

Oh I sure hope you are right. I started to get so nervous today. Boards are getting closer and I am getting more terrified. I am hoping this passes. I have never been worried about a test before.

Hessi is overall score. I got 920 on hessi. I've heard exit is harder than boards. But I'm with ya.. I take my boards in 2 weeks and am getting so anxious! Best luck to you!!

I heard that the exit is harder too. I sure hope so. I take boards in 1 week. I am so nervous. Good luck to you as well! I have been studying my core content like Hurst told me to.

It was scary. I was getting so anxious during the test cause I am addicted to chapstick and couldn't bring it into the room with me. That may have been the worst part for me. Cause that was seriously all I kept thinking about. All the SATA were making me nervous too. I do not really even remember any of the questions that were on my test. I tried to blank them out as soon as I clicked the next button.
