ok- need some opinions. Which was harder, HESI or NCLEX?

cuz I took the HESI and got a 1052 last semester. Should I be ok for the NCLEX? or are they 2 totally different beasts???

I got 1084 on the HESI and passed the NCLEX in 75 questions.

I passed HESI exit with a 980 and passed NCLEX with 76 questions. I have to say that NCLEX was harder because sometimes there weren't two obviously wrong answers. All of them seemed right so you basically had to guess.

I redid the HESI Nclex exams that I did before I took HESI. I don't know if it helped, but it was a few more questions so it didn't hurt.
