HESI will show you where your weaknesses are .. its just a guide.
Several in my class went into overdrive and stressed out doin that cram study thing .. that trick never works.
You probably have a good study routine setup already .. couple hours a day, hit the areas you're weak in, don't worry yerself crazy.
You wont know them all.. use best judgement on the ones that pop up that you dont know.

876 on the Hesi and took the week before off from studying entirely :)
( I wanted to see where I was weakest at :)
( Passed NCLEX-PN, system shut-down at 85 questions ..I didn't know if it was in disgust or if I had actually passed it for 2 days - LOL - )

My school used the Hesi as our exit exam. I took it three days after my last day of school. I didn't study at all for the exam and got an 868. Don't stress over the Hesi. It's a practice exam to help you prepare for the NCLEX it's not gonna be the end of it all if you don't get the score you were hoping for. Craming never works; the info goes in and out just as fast.

Don't stress over the HESSI. My school used it as the exit exam as well. I did no special studying for the Exam I had already studied the Saudners NCLEX PN book every day doing 100 or so questions each day throught the year I was in school. I made a 1045. I did not study at all the day before the test nor did I go to Clinical, just took the day off to relax and have a good time. When I took my NCLEX PN I was not sure if I had passed as many people feel. I was sick for two days waiting for the results and finally found out I had passed. Don't stress and don't try to cram. GOOD LUCK
