RN EXIT-I Results
Your HESI scores range from 0 to over 1,000, and can be as high as 1,500 (depending on the difficulty level of the exam).
An acceptable level of performance is 850. However, the recommended level of performance is 900 and above for all
scores provided.
Each school is responsible for establishing their specific standards related to outcome measures of acceptable scores. Many
schools choose a certain overall score as a benchmark for progression, and such benchmarks are set at the discretion of the
schools faculty and administrators. However, when preparing for the NCLEX, it is recommended that students seriously
remediate any subject area category in which they obtained a score of less than 850.
All test items are weighted according to their difficulty level. If you answer more difficult items correctly, you will get more
credit than if you answer less difficult test items correctly. Because of this scoring method, it is highly probable that two
students answering the same number of test items correctly will receive different scores because such scores depend not
only on how many test items the student answered correctly, but also on which test items the student answered correctly.
Your score reflects application of the HESI Predictability Model (HPM) to your overall score and each subject area score.
Research studies have found the HPM to be highly accurate in predicting NCLEX success.
Your conversion score is a weighted percentage score that considers the average difficulty of the exam and the average
difficulty of the test items you answered. Based on your facultys use of this exam, the conversion score may be used as a
portion of your course grade.
The HESI score is a better predictor of NCLEX success than the conversion score because it reflects application of the
HPM in its calculation, whereas the conversion score does not.
Colored graphs depicting your scores on various subject area categories are provided throughout this report. The
horizontal lines within these graphs are set at the Acceptable Level (850) and the Recommended Level (900).
The Percentile Score Ranking measures your level of performance as compared to the performance of a
standard or norm group. For this exam, the norm group consists of 6,498 nursing students from all
type of RN programs (Diploma, Associate Degree, and Baccalaureate Degree) who took a HESI RN Exit
Exam in the last school year.
The Percentile Score Ranking does not reflect the percentage of test items that you answered
correctly. Instead, the percentile ranking is useful for determining how many students in the nation
scored BELOW your score.
You scored at a 18.15 percentile rank, which means that you performed better than 18.15% of the
nations nursing students last year; while only 81.85% of the nations students had higher scores than
you.
