The HESI Specialty Exams do more than assess knowledge in specific nursing content areas—they actively build readiness for the HESI Exit Exam and ultimately the NCLEX. Research shows a clear, positive correlation between the number of specialty exams students take and their performance on the Exit Exam:
4 specialty exams: +30 points on the HESI Exit Exam
8 specialty exams: +48 points
12 specialty exams: +163 points
Improves benchmark achievement: Students taking more specialty exams are more likely to meet recommended HESI Exit Exam benchmarks of 850 or 900.
Predicts NCLEX success: Higher Exit Exam scores correlate strongly with first-time NCLEX-RN pass rates, giving educators a reliable tool to gauge student readiness.
Provides actionable insights: Faculty can leverage dashboards like the HESI Readiness for NCLEX® Dashboard to track student progress, identify gaps, and provide timely remediation.
