Hi everyone! I unfortunately didn't pass Hesi the first Time. I will be taking it soon the end of April. I was wondering what helped you to pass the test. I know I need to work on my test taking strategies. I'm doing Saunders questions and Nclex 4000 & whatever else I can do for practices questions..Thank you in advance for all your help!!
_Skittles_ 120 Posts Apr 6, 2014 Use the HESI book! Even if you don't read the chapters just read the HESI hints. Also, doing remediation from your 1st exit, reviewing the materials they give you online about missed questions has been shown to raise your score an average of 100 points. Last, do the online questions that come with the book. Even better go in during a professor's office time and do it with them. Usually they can help you with thought processes and explain unfamiliar questions to you which is super helpful! Don't forget to take breaks during your exam (for instance when you have to read a question 3-4 times because you aren't actually reading the question) and slow down. You got this! You can do it!
lovesunshine 108 Posts Apr 6, 2014 Thank you! I have to look at those topics. Did you already take your Exit exam?
_Skittles_ 120 Posts Apr 9, 2014 Yep! I already took 2 versions and have scored above a 950 both times. The biggest help is sitting down with a teacher to work through questions but I definitely saw the information in the hints and from the book's questions on both exit exams. Before this I struggled on the med surg hesi just remember you got this! Take your time!
lovesunshine 108 Posts Apr 12, 2014 Are the questions similar? From the first version to the second version? Or topics?
_Skittles_ 120 Posts Apr 16, 2014 Topics vary. Like. I just took one and felt like it focused on kidney problems and the one before that had a lot of menres and psych. However that could be just my perception?

_Skittles_ 120 Posts Apr 29, 2014 So just an update, I've been using kaplan and broke into the 1,000s. My composite score was a 93%. Just a suggestion.
