Passed HESI exit exam first try!

[RavensNation]

I'm so excited I passed the first try. This semester was almost the death of me! I was failing by literally 1 exam question. Our instructors allowed us to retake exam 2 because we missed 4 out of the 5 classes on the exam due to snow, thank god because without that make up I'd be taking the semester again.

With the way my semester was going I was convinced i would be taking HESI straight down to the fourth try. It was a real confidence booster to pass it first try. My son says it's because the 4th was with me :-P.

Now I just have this "little" thing called the NCLEX and I call myself RN!

Hi how did finally study to pass this time around? I took mine yesterday and failed unfortunately

The only thing I did was use the hesi resources in the evolve website. I did the practice quizzes for each topic (OB, community/mental health, peds, fundamentals, and med surg) and the cumulative quizzes, I also used the online resources in the hesi text book for more questions. I made sure to read all of the rationales once I was done each quiz. I wasn't scoring great on the practice quizzes but I guess reading the rationales helped me to score better and pass the exit exam. I didn't pass by a lot, my school requires an 850 and I got an 885. I also took frequent breaks to calm myself down and to get my eyes off of the screen for a few minutes because looking at a computer screen for too long KILLS my eyes. I wish you luck on your next attempt. You got this! Take your time and really consider each answer choice before selecting an answer.
