First of all, since everyone always asks. I got a 94% on my HESI and a 82% on Mosby CAT. I did roughly 3000 questions between now and the end of nursing school, not including all the ones I did during nursing school. I used Kaplan, Saunders, Drexel and a local test-taking progam from STAT nursing called "Good thinking".
I not afraid to admit I was tied in a knot all of last last and most of this morning. The woman at the front desk, god bless her, had a big smile and a infectious laugh so I got to relax a little. In fact, everyone at the testing center was very nice.
At first the questions seemed straightforward, then I hit 75...100...125. And my confidence started to plummet. Alot of priority, alot of infection control, 3 math, 1 select all that apply, alot of peds. Then it stopped in the 150's. I was going to take a break at 200. That has me a little nervous. But all I could think of at the time was "Thank GOD its over". Thats basically the feeling I've kept with since then. I treated myself to a pastry and $5 cup of coffee at Panera bread and stopped at my favorite bookstore. I aim on relaxing today and trying not to worry about it.
It is true you walk out of there not knowing how you did. But I did my best so now its just the waiting game.
