I am defeated and desperate for help. I know the material yet I can't pass the foundations HESI practice exams. I can narrow down to 2 answers and pick the wrong one and my scores are 40 to 60. Today we took a real HESI and I got a 61, the 13%tile and that was only because the patho questions were a no brainer. I need at least an 80 on the exam - I know this is a test taking issue and I have had it since high school with multiple choice - but I desperately want to be a nurse. My clinical instructor says I am the best with patients she has seen and very knowledgeable. I have an A in the class but unless I get an 80 on the HESI basic nursing foundations I am out of nursing - worse than that is I know the material I can't pass the test. This will continue for the next two years of school if I do not learn how to take the test. I have asked my instructors and the disability center and noone can help me please is there anyone out there that can recommend anything??? Please help me reach my goal and dreams. thank you to anyone who takes the time to reply. I know this is long, I am just so stressed out and desperate.

It was the same at my school. A students couldn't pass that Freaking test. Try hesistudy.com. it is worth the cost. It helped me pass the exit exam, on the last try. I wish I had found it sooner.
Also, if you have an iPhone, download the NCLEX apps that ask you nursing questions.
Good luck. Sorry you have to go thru this too.
Ps it was not an indicator of my ability to pass the NCLEX.
