HESI Specialty and Exit Exams
Scoring Explanation
Overall HESI scores typically range from 300 to 1,200 but can vary depending on the specific item difficulties and
individual test taker performance. An acceptable level of performance is 850, and the recommended level of performance
is 900.
Each organization is responsible for establishing their specific standards. Many organizations choose an overall HESI
score as a benchmark for progression, and such benchmarks are set at the discretion of the organization’s faculty and
administrators.
The HESI score formula includes a combination of the difficulty of the individual item and the test taker’s performance on
that item. The conversion score is a derivative of the HESI score for gradebook use with a range of 0 to 99.99.
Next Generation NCLEX® unfolding cases and standalone items (trend and bowtie) are included in the HESI and
conversion scores when they are used in the scored places of an exam.
Research studies have found HESI scores highly accurate in predicting NCLEX success. Therefore, it is recommended
that organizations use HESI scores for decision-making. Many subject area categories are included in each report. Each
category section includes information about subcategories and a graph that also shows comparisons between the actual
performance, the Acceptable Level (850) and the Recommended Level (900). When preparing for the NCLEX, it is
recommended that students dedicate time and effort to remediate any category with a HESI score below 850.

type of RN programs (Diploma, Associate Degree, and Baccalaureate Degree) who took a HESI RN Exit

scored BELOW your score.
You scored at a 90.95 percentile rank, which means that you performed better than 90.95% of the
nation’s nursing students last year; while only 9.05% of the nation’s students had higher scores than
you.
