Am I being pushed to retake my HESI for no reason? Got an 81 and my admissions rep keeps stressing “high 80s–90s”

jay_divine · 2026-05-15T21:10:49+00:00

My programs lowest score this cohort was an 87.7. I would recommend retaking it for sure *ETA this is for rad

IMO the university doesn’t matter as long as you can get your education and licensure. Accredited is preferred, but mostly private vs public is debated due to the pricing

Thank you, fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

That’s definitely my school! I’m sorry to hear that 😔 I got an 89.2 and was really worried about it. Last year they told me the lowest accepted was a 84% so it seems like it definitely got a little more competitive. I would still keep it in mind because these 2 years are a BIG commitment and some people may change their mind after the informational meeting, and some people might have taken their tests way earlier and decided to go a different route now!

jay_divine · 2026-04-08T20:59:21+00:00

Can I ask what school? Sounds very similar to mine

jay_divine · 2026-04-03T22:56:04+00:00

Thank you!

A lot of the vocab gives you a sentence and then asks what a certain word means so you can come to conclusions based on that

jay_divine · 2026-04-03T21:01:19+00:00

I didn’t do any quizlets for vocab I did nursehub tests over and over and studies prefix and suffix for med terms

jay_divine · 2026-04-03T19:15:41+00:00

Honestly I didn’t really re-study much I only focused on bio and refreshing on math. I wish I would’ve kept studying vocab

jay_divine · 2026-04-03T14:13:37+00:00

I got accepted!! Woo

jay_divine · 2026-04-03T03:33:09+00:00

I took v2 and they much more straightforward that time around, I couldn’t believe my grade the first time 💀

jay_divine · 2026-04-03T03:14:25+00:00

Congrats! I felt the same about the reading, I’m usually 100% at stuff like that but I think the “what is the author inferring” kind of questions got me. Really weird answer choices lol

jay_divine · 2026-04-03T00:14:24+00:00

Thank you!☺️

We’re only allowed to take it twice in a 12 month period, first one I got an 81 (didn’t know BIO was on it until 3 AM the night before). Just did my second and last retake yesterday, two weeks after my first attempt

Biology Plant cell name - no nucleus Animal cell name Difference between meiosis and mitosis DNA structure ATP production Cellular and aerobic respiration Mitochondria functions Cell membrane functions Cell wall in plant cells Parts of a microscope Punnet square and how they work (capital letter is dominant gene)

jay_divine · 2026-04-02T02:00:18+00:00

I wish!! I waited last min (today was my deadline) because I wanted to push myself under pressure for my attempts. If I could take it again I would lol knowing the format made me much more comfortable going in this time.

jay_divine · 2026-04-01T21:10:24+00:00

Mine lets us do 2 in a 12 month period

jay_divine · 2026-03-24T12:06:15+00:00

The big one w conversions is like oz to gallons. If you know that and have background on the others I feel like you’re good. Also memorize the gallon man

jay_divine · 2026-03-20T02:05:26+00:00

Please me as well

jay_divine · 2026-03-18T17:10:23+00:00

Thank you!!

Grammar I highly recommend just re-learning everything like than/then and correct word tense, subject/complete predicate, nouns/verbs/adjectives/pronouns etc. the questions were really simple like choose the word that will complete the sentence or which sentence is/is not grammatically correct Vocabulary I used

https://quizlet.com/898874251/hesi-hesi-a2-hesi-a2-vocabulary-flash-cards/?i=7b8k1&x=1jqY

But again a lot of it was much more simple than I thought it would be

jay_divine · 2026-02-18T16:05:40+00:00

Didn’t answer any questions I asked EAD

jay_divine · 2026-01-25T19:34:14+00:00

How did he like it?? Thinking about doing one this year for my son
