Hello!I took my Hesi exam today for the first time and scored 81%. My gpa is currently about 3.7. Should I consider retaking the exam or is this score okay?Please and thanks!

Blueberry7782 107 Posts Jul 21, 2014 Same here. I finished my HESI yesterday. Got 85 as accumulated scores. But my critical thinking is only 770. English is my second language so this test make me feel exhausted. I applied ut houston, I know the competition is horrible there. I do not know how to prepare the critical thinking section. Because I never studied it before. Forget to say, my GPA is around 3.88-3.96. Who can tell me if I should retake it? I have 15 days to prepare for the second.

Dalester1979 2 Posts Oct 7, 2015 This what I heard. 80-89 gives you 3 extra points towards entering the nursing program. 90-100 gives you 5 extra points. I'm trying to re-find the site that told me this. I scored a 90% and want to know the same thing. Should I bother re-taking the exam or not. Good luck!!

I know this was so long ago, but did u end up getting in? I’m also wondering if I need to retake it.
