“…9 A 2018 review of literature revealed that GPA, standardized comprehensive examinations, and standardized course specific examinations were the most frequently used variables in determining first-time pass rate on the NCLEX-RN. 10 Another study showed proportion of grades lower than a C and HESI® Exit Exam score were the most significant predictors of a first-time NCLEX-RN pass. 11 A final study demonstrated that students with Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) scores greater than 82% had an 8% greater probability of graduating and a 9% greater probability of passing NCLEX-RN compared with students who scored less than 82%.…”

“…Nonacademic factors such as demographics, anxiety, stress, and motivation can also impact nursing student success. 10,11 While some nonacademic factors are unchangeable, research supports that other nonacademic factors of student success can change through different interventions. By exploring these factors, educators can utilize additional strategies to help students succeed on the HESI Exit Exam and therefore the NCLEX-RN.…”

“…10 Researchers also report older students and White students are more likely to pass NCLEX-RN on the first attempt compared to Black, Asian, English as a second language, and international students from Africa. 10 However, these results differ somewhat from another study that indicates neither age nor sex has a significant impact on first-time pass rates. 11…”

First-time success rate on the NCLEX-RN examination has significant implications for BSN students, faculty, and schools of nursing. Many nursing programs utilize standardized examinations such as the HESI Exit Exam to quantify student success on knowledge of nursing concepts and to prepare students for success on the NCLEX-RN. Nursing faculty must be able to identify predictors of student success early in the nursing program in order to offer appropriate support and remediation. The purpose of this retrospective, correlational study was to determine predictive variables of BSN student success on the HESI Exit Exam in a southeastern university. Students who reported higher test anxiety scored significantly lower on the HESI Exit Exam. Higher medical-surgical I HESI examination scores, higher medical-surgical II HESI examination scores, higher obstetrics HESI examination scores, and higher final grade point average were significant predictors of students' HESI Exit Exam scores and accounted for 39% of the variance in the scores. Results from this study suggest implementing remediation based on HESI Specialty Exam scores and interventions aimed at reducing test anxiety.
