How to Pass the Exit HESI?

I am taking the exit HESI in 2 weeks and I just saw your schedule. Could you please email me with what I can do in the 2 weeks remaining to pass the exit HESI. I have failed it twice and wanted to know what to do. Thanks

Jay

    Jay,

    Thanks for your question. I’m sorry to hear you have failed the exit HESI. It is a difficult exam. I personally thought it was harder than NCLEX. Since you have only two weeks I would dedicate as much time as you can to practicing NCLEX style questions on any areas you struggle in. Did you get a printed out summary of the areas you struggled in on the last two exit exams?

    If you did, I would analyze the printed out summary and read the chapters in the exit HESI study guide (pay attention to HESI hints, end of chapter questions, and bold areas). In addition, after you take each practice test I would review what questions you got wrong, it’s rational, and review the material in the book. Many people make the mistake of just taking practice tests and never reviewing what questions they got wrong.

    For example, say newborn care in maternity nursing is something you struggle with…. I would read the chapter in the HESI book and take NCLEX questions regarding that material. Then review what questions you got wrong. Say you got wrong the APGAR scoring and medications that are given to the newborn after birth….I would go back in the exit HESI book and read that material.

    What NCLEX study guide do you have? I really recommend the Saunders Comprehensive Review book..it has lots of practice questions and you can select what areas you want to test in.

    Also, as a side note, our website has some practice NCLEX questions if you want to take them. Here is a link to them: https://www.registerednursern.com/nursing-student-quizzes-tests/

    You can never take too many NCLEX questions. Overall, I think the best way to prepare for this exam is to take as many NCLEX practice exams as you can.

    Good luck and I hoped this helped! Please let me know how it goes!!

    My son is taking the exit exam for the second time. His school only allows it to be taken twice. I think this is unfair. He has a 3.9 average and to think one/one hour class can cost him his career is a shame plus four year of debt. Please help with any advice. Jay what school are you attending.

      Hey Linda!

      My nursing school required the same thing as your sons. Fortunately, I passed first try. I studied with the exit HESI study guide and practice 1000s of NCLEX question. How did your son prepare?

      My professors say that was the best way to prepare. I know that alot of people didn’t pass the first try but almost every who failed the first time passed the second try. I heard rumors that it is easier the second time around??

      It is a hard test and many people say it is harder than NCLEX (I have to agree).

        Jane,

        He has practiced for months basically the same way you did. When he started to test, his computer glitched and the computer folks came and worked on the computer to no avail..so then he had to test on the teachers computer. He was thirty minutes early for the test, first one there. He started 45 minutes after everyone due to the computer glitch. I feel they should have just rescheduled him. We are going to talk to the school about that. That would be enough to make anyone a little upset.

          Lynda,

          Oh wow yeah they should consider that. That would have definitely caused my nerves to take the best of me. What did he have to score in order to pass…an 850? I hate the HESI. Tell him to hang in there because some of the best nurses I know failed the exit HESI first try.

            They had to make a 900. He made a 768. He is retaking all the previous Hesi’s for practice and redoing his pharm test. He scored really high on all of them. He can use his pharm score to pull up his exit exam. Stressed out.
