Let's talk HESI

Published

Specifically the A2 entrance. Since I've been spending today letting the admission decision anxiety get the better of me, what would be considered a "good" score on that exam? This is the first year my program is requiring an entrance exam, so they have no clue how it'll factor in. I got a 90.5% and while its on the upper end, I have no idea if that will be considered "good". How did you all do? Were you pleased with it? What do your programs require?

It doesn't sound like your school laid out how the HESI will be factored in to the admission decision? For my college it was essentially 1/4 of the decision, with the other elements being 3 pre-req classes. They broke it up into a point system and then look at your total # of points. 90 is a solid score, if your pre-req grades are good I wouldn't be worried.

Nope, no clue on how they'll be factored in. I think they also do a points system because they give extra points for having a bachelor's, having taken a full semester at the University, etc. My overall GPA is a 3.3 which seemed to satisfy my nursing advisor, but I know I'm up against perfect scores, so I'm crossing my fingers! Thank you for your input, I really appreciate it :)
