Strategies to Pass Exit HESI

[lissetteyy_]

Hello!

My my school requires us to achieve a 950 on the exit HESI in order for us to graduate and receive our diploma. Whether this is fair or not, that is the requirement. I am very concerned about trying to achieve such a high score. Any tips for those who aren't particularly great at HESI exams?

I do have the HESI NCLEX a review book, and it helped me achieve my highest HESI score - a 1090 - on my maternity HESI. However, it didn't help me with my mental health HESI (a terrible 751). I am worried that it won't be enough to help me pass!

Any suggestions?

I'm in a similar boat as you - our school requires us to achieve an 800 on the exit hesi in the fall and a 925 in the spring. My speciality exam scores have been all over the board, ranging from 600s to 1200s. Our school has been stressing that the majority of the exit hesi and NCLEX exam questions are based on med-surg content. They recommend remediating on the evolve hesi material that we missed, concentrating most on the med-surg portions. Previous classes have suggested reading and rereading through that green HESI review book, focusing on the hesi hints. The previous classmates that focused on the hesi hints did significantly better (a couple hundred points difference) than before when they were going into the test blind. For now I'm studying with the HESI review book and taking practice exams to prepare. I take the first exit hesi next week so we'll see if this strategy is good. Good luck with your exit hesi, I hope I helped!

I took my HESI PN exit a week ago and I passed with a 945. I bought the HESI review book and to be honest it really didn't help me much. My study tip for you is to get on NCLEX 3000 and do as many practice questions as you can. My HESI specialty exams scores were awful, I was scoring 500s. Hopefully my study tips helped.
