Hey guys or all who read this post.
I'm just asking anyone for help or tips on studying for the Rn hesi exit.
My background I've been a lpn for 2.5 years and attended the bridge program at my college.
Hesi have always been a up and dwn thing for me but my Medsurg I always score over 1000.
Hesi exit scores
1st. 719 ( I was so nervous and changed alot of my answers)
2nd . 829 ( I was proud of myself I increased my score)
3rd. 826 (I stayed the same in a sense scared to be honest and felt like the material just vanished from my head).
I'm currently in a remediation course and the exit I took today our school has taken away the option to see our rationals at the end of the test so I really don't know what I got wrong or right.
If anyone can point me in the right direction or just understands this feeingl of losing confidence.
So far I've taken v3, v2, v6 I retest again in two weeks. Our school requires a 900 second attempt
Thanks for reading.

Hi. I used HESI based study guides. I also used evolve HESI tests and quizzes. "Your best grade" helped a ton. Hesi is all about answering the question using the proper testing strategies. If you read up about the testing strategies this will help immensely. Once I learned these strategies and put them into all of the practice questions, I was successful with exit hesi on first try. I made 1113 on mine.
Don't use "NCLEX" based study guides for HESI. HESI and NCLEX are different so the HESI study materials are geared more toward HESI.
Good luck

I used the saunders nclex-rn (purple book) to help me practice for the HESI. It has a large base of online questions that you can choose by topic.
Have you examined how you approach each question?

The test taking strategies helped. In the big purple saunders book or even the hesi study guide book....its a green one. I read each question thoroughly, re-read it to make sure I understood what it was asking and then looked for key words to really break it down. Test taking strategies really helped though......that offered me most success out of everything.
