Since 1996, the accuracy of the HESI Exit Exam, or E(2) in predicting NCLEX success has been scientifically investigated. Five previously conducted studies determined that the E(2) was between 96.36% and 98.30% accurate in predicting NCLEX-RN success (N = 27037). However, all five of these studies examined the accuracy of the E(2) in predicting NCLEX success based on the first administration of the E(2).This study (N = 10147), which examined the predictive accuracy of parallel versions of the E(2), found that there was no significant difference in predictive accuracy between the first (96.44%) and second (92.94%) versions of the E(2), but the third (82.50%) version was significantly less accurate in predicting NCLEX-RN success than were the first two Eversions. The authors conjectured that students taking the E(2) for the third time were at greater risk for NCLEX-RN failure than were those who successfully met the school's designated benchmark score the first or second time they took the E(2).
自1996年以来，HESI结业考试（即E(2)）在预测NCLEX考试通过率方面的准确性已得到科学研究。此前进行的五项研究确定，E(2)在预测NCLEX-RN考试通过率方面的准确率在96.36%至98.30%之间（N = 27037）。然而，这五项研究均是基于首次进行E(2)考试来检验其预测NCLEX考试通过率的准确性。本研究（N = 10147）检验了E(2)平行版本的预测准确性，发现E(2)的第一版（96.44%）和第二版（92.94%）在预测准确性上没有显著差异，但第三版（82.50%）在预测NCLEX-RN考试通过率方面的准确性明显低于前两版。作者推测，第三次参加E(2)考试的学生比首次或第二次成功达到学校指定基准分数的学生在NCLEX-RN考试中失败的风险更大。
