Questions about the RN program at Lone Star college Kingwood

In reference to Hesi, before you go to take the test, you must create a login on the Elsiver website. Pring the testing ticket and take it to the cashiers office, pay the fee and then go to the testing center at your school. They will give you a piece of paper telling you which sections of the exam to take. It consists of A&P, Math, Grammar, Vocab and reading comprehension. The average of the last three divided by 25 will be your score that is taken to complete your overall score out of 12 possible points. For example, if you make an average of 90 on these three sections, you will divide 90 by 25 for a 3.6 out of a possible 4 points for your Hesi exam. When taking the exam, you sit down at the computer and you can choose which portion you want to take first. I took A&P first because this for me was the most difficult one. The downfall, is that once you've completed the questions it gives you, (usually 15-25, but it's random) it gives you the score RIGHT AWAY for that section. So, lets say you take it and, God forbid, you make a 70 on the A&P, then honestly, there is no point in continuing (unless you want exposure to the test to see how it works). You MUST make at least a 75 on each portion in order to pass. And if you take it more than once, they take your most recent scores. I had to take it twice because I failed the A&P the first time around. I hope this helps, but there is all the detailed info you need at the following page. Best of luck!

Do you recommend taking the HESI right after A&P II? I am taking A&P II in the Fall of 2015 and then Microbiology in Spring 2016. I was wondering when is the best time to take the exam? Thanks
