Final HESI today!!  It is a nationally standardized test that is not required for nursing students but the Univeristy of Alabama requires it for every subject completed as well as a Final Comprehensive HESI in your last semester. They are pass or fail. Most schools require an 850 to pass but Capstone College of Nursing School being elite requires a 900 to pass. You cannot revisit questions and most of the tests are 60 questions.  The FINAL HESI is 160 questions. That is 4+ hours looking at a computer screen, guessing your life away. HESI tests are the hardest tests I have ever taken. Almost all the answers are right, you just have to pick the best one. So it's a huge guessing game. UGH.  This is the only HESI that you have to pass to graduate and if you fail, you have to do all this pointless remediation work.  = a must PASS situation. So stressful.
