Published

Hi,

 I opened this for those who apply for Sping 2022 at UTHealth Cizik School of Nursing Pacesetter program. 
I plan to take my HESI in May.

Hey guys! 
I just took my HESI today! While the actual testing experience was a nightmare (got booted from prometric nearly 8 times and started my test 2 hours late because of it), I managed to score a 91.6! Not exactly what I was aiming for, but I think I’ll take it. Nervous to see if I get accepted or not. My cumulative GPA is a 3.83 but all sciences/nursing pre reqs are a 4.0. 

Hey! Great job your HESI! ? That's a great score especially considering your experience with prometric. So, how did you get back in after getting booted each time? Now I'm worried it'll happen to me too

Try and see if your school lets you take the HESI through them. I go to Lone Star and they partner with proctorU. I took the test online at home for $70 and I used my own scratch paper. 

Was someone watching you the whole time? I will be taking mine at home and the email says that no scratch paper will be allowed. That is making me super nervous.

I took it at home through Prometric for $120. They gave me a “digital scratchpad” for the math section. Basically just a blank word document that you can type anything down. It was a giant pain, I’ll be honest. It definitely slowed me down. 

Did someone watch you while you took the test? If yes, was it the person that denied you the use of physical scratch paper?

How was the Reading part? I hate reading comprehension.

I took mine through proctoru, and someone was watching the whole time. Was allowed scratch paper and calculator but had to show them on camera before started exam to make sure nothing was written on it. I started with reading comprehension so I wouldn’t be tired and drained at the end.

The webcam records you for the duration of your test but there is no physical person there with you.

Yes, someone watched me the entirety of the test. But it wasn’t the person who told me no to scratch paper. You go through a “security” screening first, and that’s who inspects the room and what materials you have/allowed to have.

Thank you! 
 

It just kicks you back out to the launch exam page, so I just had to wait a few minutes and then try relaunching each time! The most time consuming part was having to redo the security screening each time.

I’m filling out the application right now. What did you guys put for the HESI Section? I took my HESI at another school so there was no test ID… and then I’m not sure what to put for test component because anything I typed out, it said not found.

I kept that portion empty. You send over your scores so there’s no point in putting that all in.

Hi guys!

I submitted my transcript and it still says that it's on hold...

It says that it will be on hold if I have ongoing courses or future coursework. Does anyone have the same problem as me. 

I applying with 49 hours done so I won't be done with everything until the Winter, so I was wondering if it would be on hold until I'm done.

Yes, the transcript on hold will be cleared after submitting a transcript where the ongoing courses have grades. If you have 8 science hours sciences in your completed hours, you should still be considered for admissions.

Hi everyone. 

How long has it taken you all to gain access to the applicant portal after submitting your application? I received my log in info by email a day after but it doesn't work (given an error message saying the password is wrong). I called the IT help desk and they said to just try again next week ?  I'm stressing. I'd really like to check for any missing admission documents/requirements before then bc we're so close to the deadline.
