Hey, I'm currently a student at St. Paul's, I suggest you memorize your conversions for the math and practice fractions! For me that was mistaken difficult part.

Do you have to leave a lot of money to hold your seat?

BlessedNurse312 · Feb 19, 2015

How about reading, grammar, and vocabulary. The reading and grammar I've been really trying to study but I'm not sure exactly what

And how fast will you get the hesi results?

I didn't leave any money to hold my seat. I don't think they do that anymore. The reading section was pretty easy for me. I memorized the vocabulary in the book. You actually get the Hesi results right after you finish each section in the main page. When you finish, the admissions counselor will give you your cumalative score.

St Paul's actually has tutoring for the HESI. I went before I took it and it really helped me for the math.

Hello and yes I too am applying for the nursing program there. I took my HESI exam on Feb 12 2015 a couple weeks before you. It wasn't as hard as people make it out to be. My weakest subject was math and I got an 82 on it only because I suck at word problems. You only take the reading grammar vocabulary and math. The best part about it is the reading grammar and vocabulary are all counted as one and will be averaged as one. For example if you got a 70 in vocabulary an 86 in reading and an 80 in grammar it will all average as a 78 and you have to retake it. I was told you need an 80 or higher in each but not in this case. It just needs to be averaged as an 80.

Math is separate but you must score an 80 or higher. It was a lot of ratios and fractions. If you're weak in a certain area I strongly suggest you brush up on it. Again in math I sucked at word problems so that 82 could've been a freaking 87.

You have four hours to complete it and you can choose what subject you want to start with first. So if you're weak in vocabulary or math or reading or grammar Start that first. Use a strategy so you can savor the hours instead of wasting it doing a subject that you're extremely good in. But overall it is NOT difficult

Plus you get your results automatically after you finish each subject

Automatically after you're done with each subject

Did you get an interview yet? I have to retake the English but that's my strongest subject.ll.i was so focused on math but I'm not worried!

Yes right after I took the test I was sent to the front desk so they can give me my overall cumulative score. Then a representative scheduled me for an interview a week after the test. Dress formally. I strongly suggest wearing a blazer, dress pants hair up (ponytail or a bun). Because wear in a skirt like those dress skirts you could but with pants you don't have to worry about sitting and pulling it down etc. When you are scheduled for your interview you will talk to the president of the campus. He's very nice and funny. He gave me an ice breaker by pranking me and the workers there lol. Now I'm just waiting for an acceptance letter...

Plus if English is your strongest you have nothing to worry about. The more focused you were in a weak subject your strongest ones will be a breeze. You'll do fine.
