I just graduated, but in our program we have to take HESIs every semester.. I've only passed 2. We have to score about an 850. I failed my comprehensive HESI 2x, and I'm going to retake it next week. If we fail twice we have to enroll in a Review Course and show a completion certificate, pay $40 every time. And we get an incomplete on our transcripts. They make us take in 3 times, and the 3rd time really doesn't mean anything, we just had to have done the course, pay the fee, and pass or fail, we get our final transcript. I'm not too worried about it because I keep scoring in the 830s in the 80-85% range and my Director says that is a pretty good indicator of passing boards. I've heard from A LOT of people that HESI is so much harder than Boards. After reading all these posts about HAVING to pass HESI and such I feel lucky.. Anyways, Good Luck!
