HESI Testing- A History of Evidence-Based Research.
Journal of Professional Nursing
2013 The Health Education Systems, Inc. (HESI) Exit Exam (E2) was originally developed using sound educational principles. In an effort to ensure product quality and to scientifically address the development of new HESI testing products, these principals continue to be practiced today, thereby adding to the evidence-based testing science and significantly contributing to the scholarship of educational practice. This review sequentially presents the evidence related to the E2 by study details and outcomes and sets the stage for the continued work presented in this supplement to the Journal of Professional Nursing.

Choosing a theoretical framework to guide HESI Exit Exam research
Journal of Nursing Education
2006 This article responds to issues raised in 2004 by Spurlock and Hanks, who interpreted data that were presented in four published studies describing the validity of the Health Education Systems, Inc. (HESI) Exit Examination. The argument for using classical testing theory as the preferred theoretical framework to a clinical disease detection model is advanced. While the Spurlock and Hanks article promotes a philosophical bias against the establishment of progression policies within schools of nursing, this article offers another assessment of the merits of detecting at-risk students so timely remediation can occur prior to administration of the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). From data presented in the four validity studies, the HESI Exit Examination was reported to be 96.36% to 98.30% accurate in predicting NCLEX-RN success, and those original findings are reaffirmed.
