Interpreting HESI Scores- GCU Applicant

[Rmerrow]

Hi all, I just took my HESI A2 entrance exam and am having some trouble interpreting my scores. My overall Reading Comprehension score was a 92%. There are 4 subcategories inside the Reading Comp. section: Understanding, Meaning-Word Use, Implications, and Conclusions. Each of these were above a 90%, except for my Conclusion subsection, which was a 67%. Will this affect my application, or will I have to retake the exam? GCU claims their requirements are 80% for Reading Comprehension, Vocab, Grammar, and Math, while the A&P sections requires a 75%. Does anyone know if these subcategories are factored in, or is it the overall category score that matters?

Hi there! I actually attend GCU as well, and I just took my HESI a couple weeks ago! I also scored pretty low in one of the subcategories within reading comprehension. However, as far as I am concerned, GCU does not factor in the subcategories. I have gone through their handbook, and it only discusses looking at the scores from reading comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, math, and anatomy. I don't think you have anything to worry about!
