HESI Exams

The College of Nursing has been working with Elsevier to get your HESI exam set up with online proctoring through ProctorU so you don’t experience any delays in your coursework. They’ve created a new website to walk you through how to set up an account, schedule your exam, and access support if needed.

FIRST: Set up your Elsevier account.  You will need your Evolve username prior to testing with ProctorU.

IMPORTANT: It is imperative you READ and FOLLOW DIRECTIONS throughout this process to ensure your ability to test within the allotted dates/times we have reserved! 

If you have used ProctorU before, you CANNOT use your standard institution account. The process is different for HESI exams, so visit this site and follow the steps outlined there as soon as possible. When you get to the point of scheduling your exam, please look for the appropriate exam name:

RN Admission Assessment (A2) 1st Time Tester

RN Admission Assessment (A2) 2nd Time Tester

You may take these exams in any order

Review the information on the HESI Test-Taker Portal and follow the below steps and instructions to get started with ProctorU.  

STEP 1:  

• Create a ProctorU username and password in order to register for and take your exam 
• For your "Institution," select “**Elsevier – HESI**” 
• If you already have a ProctorU account, you will need to sign in and then “add enrollment” from your profile > account settings and select “**Elsevier – HESI** for the Institution. Then select update account. 

STEP 2:  

• For all exams: Register for your exam(s) at least 72 hours prior to your test date. Register directly on the ProctorU website; there is no need to do so in your HESI account.  
• When registering your "TERM" will be the name of your Institution, "Texas A&M College Station"

3. Download the ProctorU extension
4. Run the ProctorU compatibility checker
5. Hardwire internet connection into the device before testing to improve performance.
6. Use your evolve USERNAME, not email address, when logging into HESI to take your exam.
