Hey ladies and gents aka FUTURE NURSES!

So I had to take HESI 3x to pass. All three exams were different! but by the THIRD time it was only 4 of us taking the exam. They gave us 3 hours to complete it and I took 2.5 hours to finish. The other 2x I only sat there for 90 minutes and basically rushed through the test because I was anxious. I studied the material from the HESI book and took almost all the time and passed it with a score of 1,010. My previous scores were 746 and 833.

Good luck to all that are going to take it. The best advice I can give is to practice questions via whatever your school supplies you to study HESI and NCLEX questions. All the question were RANDOM. PLEASE know your drug calculations including PEDS. AIRWAY BREATHING CIRCULATION!!!

HESI was a majority of EVERY class. I did questions from the HESI disk that came from the back of THE HESI book. I tossed that book in the trash right after passing so I could tell you the name and auther. its a her popular HESI book tho. I've never taken ATI. Saunsers is a good book too but I didnt use it, other students did and found it helpful for HESI. you have to practice questions and READ THE RATIONALES so you'll know why that answer was that answer. you have to read the question 3x before you answer it.and don't talk yourself out of answers. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW. whatever comes to mind first is usually the answer. TAKE YOUR TIME and go slow but dont spend too much time. we were given 3 hours to take the test and I promise you may fail if it takes you more time than that. don't linger on those questions, pick a question and keep it moving! AND TAKE BREAKS! when you start feeling anxious get up and go to the restroom to clear your mind! don't rush through the exam but don't procrastinate either.

I have this Saunders book & disc as well I definitely use it all the time so glad to see that you passed your exam with such a high score...did you do the assessment exam first with 75 questions then it told you the areas that you needed improvement in?
