Scores on my HESI-Discouraged

[Dezi919]

I am feeling discouraged because I didn't do so well on the math section. At our school, you have to take Anatomy, Reading, Grammar, Vocabulary, and Math with Personality and learning skills. I got a 76% on anatomy, 88 on reading, 92 on vocabulary, and a 66 on math. I'm feeling so horrible because I want to get into the nursing program so bad but I feel like that score will ruin my chances. I have a total score of 80.4. I've got all A's in my core nursing courses except for a B in A&P 1 in the summer. I hate math and I wish I could be smarter in it. I wish that so bad!

don't get discouraged. most schools don't look JUST at the hesi scores, they look at a combination of things.

also, some schools will give you 2 tries for a test, have you checked?

if you really want to improve your grade, I suggest buying the recommended hesi study book, and working on that daily.

I redid my whole book 3 times

its important to review the matieral over and over, looking at what I got wrong, and looking at what I got right, and why .. not just checking of tick marks and x's. look at your answers, and understand what they are asking.
