| Posted over 4 years ago I just took the med surg one. At my school our med surg classes are broken up into 3 classes. I just took the last two this summer and those sections I did ok on. But for the 1st med surg class I took I did not do well on those questions. I took it last fall and I had a final the next day and I just did not have time to review the older material. So if you could skim through your book before you take it then you should be ok. I bought the Hesi book for other Hesi's like OB and it did not help me at all. But it may help you because some people said that it did. |

| Posted over 4 years ago I found the NCLEX books to be your best resource for Hesi. My classmates and I were told to start w/ 50 questions a day, then work your way up to say, 200 a day. That is what we did from day one and all passed the Hesi and the NCLEX. |

| Posted over 4 years ago I would probably try an NCLEX review book with practice questions and rationales with the answers. Mine were broken up into categories, so if you only needed med/surg it would be easy to just focus on those sections. Is it normal now to have to take multiple HESI exams? I only had to take one that covered everything at the very end of my school (and this wasn't so long ago.. in 06.) |

| Posted over 4 years ago Yes, it is normal now or at least at my school. I just started my program and I already that I will have to take the HESI in Dec 08, May 09, Aug 09, Dec 09 and May 10. My program says it will prepare us for the NCLEX. I just took my first Patho test Thursday and am still tired. |
