Just took the hesi someone help!

Published

Just took the HESI a few hours ago. Felt awful when I left. Started off with the Math scored an 80 (not how I wanted to start, but okay.) Moved onto vocab 88%. Feeling better took the A & P. Over thank the majority of question. Thought I did alright ended up with 68%. Felt pretty bad after that one since I had an A in Phys and B in Anat. It has been about 2 years since I've taken either though. Went to Chemistry next and scored an 80%. Then Bio 76%. At this point I'm getting tired of testing. I took the grammar, and got a 76% then the reading and just coasted through it and got a 76%. Then the final nursing questions wasn't expecting it so I just sort of rushed through it. Now after feeling horrible I talked to a girl after who took it and did worse than me. the class average on A&P was a 68% and the overall hesi score for the class was 75%. I scored 78%. Should I be happy or did I not get in? Not sure how I should feel yet.

I think that you should be proud that you did pretty well! Don't ever lose your hope and passion for nursing. The time will come.

You should check with the college and see what the passing score is for the HESI. Some schools require a 75% in every section, some schools require 75% composite score.

For now as I said, be happy. You should think what you could have differently to score higher. Could you have studied more? Could you have slowed down on the test? Did you come into the test relaxed? All these questions can help you with future exams.

Try to be positive and hope for the best. Don't give up! Good Luck!

Thanks! There was no information given to us on a required passing score. There were about 64 people that took the test and 32 available spots. I think that if I did better than half the takers I should be in right? Sorry I tend to be a worry wart :) I should know in a week or so
