We took the Hesi Test yesterday for our graduating class. I scored a 960. I am not sure what that means. I do know that our teacher wanted us to originally score a 900 and at the least over 850, so I know that I did that, but I'd like to know where a 960 falls. Has anyone taken it?
Thanks!

I have my HESI results and explanations right here. I took a series of them last week.
We were told to strive for 850 (that was approximately, in HESI's opinion, where if you were to take the NCLEX you would have a 94% chance of passing) a 900 score would bump that 94% to a 99% chance.
Their (HESI's) acceptable level is 850 and the recommended level is 900. So your score is 60 points over HESI's recommended level.
Good for you!
So I'm in good shape!!!!! YES!!!!!
Thank you so much!!!! What a relief!
P.S. I noticed you are from CT also. I am graduating in June from Western Connecticut. How about you? Best of luck to you!

Pittfarm, how did you study for the Hesi, my exist exam is this month. any advice? my school requires a 900 passing score, and I'm a nervious rack, please help.
I hate to say it, but I didn't study. I had a hard last semester with 6 tests to include renal, MH, Peds., Maternity, Cardiac/Respiratry & Neuro and the next week we had the Hesi test. I studied like crazy for each one of those tests throughout the semester and did well. I used the Saunders CD for every test which helped. I can honestly say that the rationales that I read from the Saunders questions DID help me with the Hesi test! Good luck!

Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum and I just took HESI TODAY!..We were required to pass with a minimum of 870, i used the hesi CD and the Practest...i recommend using those because I saw about 5 or 6 questions that were word for word the same on HESI, i had to take hesi exam halfway through and i only scored a 773, so up until today I was pretty much in V-TACH!, needless to say i scored a 994! and i only got 60-70% on the HESI CDs and Practest, most of the questions are actually common sense, so don't think to much into the question, and I felt is was based primarily on fundamentals! good luck to everyone, im gonna go party now!!!
