Health Education Systems Incorporated (HESI) is a United States company that provides exams and other educational material designed to prepare student nurses for professional licensure, and predict their likely success in tests such as the NCLEX-RN.[1] Their Admission Assessment Exam is used as an entrance criterion by some nursing schools. The exams are computerized and administered online.

HESI was acquired by Elsevier in 2009.[2]

Exit Exam (E2)

Many schools use the E2 exam to assess students preparedness for external professional exams. E2 results also have a role in assessing the effectiveness of the school's curriculum and faculty.[3]
