I just want to take the time to say thank you to the team at YBG!
I couldn’t have passed without your help, my school requires a minimum grade of 900 to graduate and I took the Exit HESI three times only getting 800’s, struggling barely getting my highest score of 863, during my first three attempts at the HESI. I was so frustrated because this resulted in me not being able to graduate in the summer of 2021 with my classmates and having to wait for graduation in fall. I was very frustrated and I figured I must be doing something wrong, so I decided to research ways to improve my HESI score and I discovered YBG online. I read your intro and testimonials and it resonated with me, so I decided to give it a try because I didn’t have much more to lose. Today I am happy to report that after reading your orientation, following your recommendations and doing the practice tests, I did my Exit HESI today and I got 985.
Thank You so much for all you do!

I used this for HESI and NCLEX - my feedback
I originally purchased this to study for HESI and then used it to study for NCLEX.
This is a test bank only. There are ten 30-question practice tests, seven 160-question tests, some questions they are testing out, and then three 110-question tests for LPNs.
What I liked: This helped me practice answering questions and also build up my stamina to prepare for the HESI. I got a lot more experience with SATAs, which I needed. (My NCLEX was probably 50% SATA, so be aware.)
This course will assume a certain level of knowledge and only quiz you on stuff that you may not know. For instance, they don't waste their time on testing whether you know that you can't push potassium. So, be aware that the questions are tricky and even with solid understanding of the concepts, you are going to get a lot wrong and feel like crap. But, that is the point so don't worry about it. It is more helpful than the online Saunders test bank for me.
What I didn't like: I don't like the model all the test banks use of providing a rationale for a specific question. It does not provide the basic background knowledge you should know so that you can apply the answer to a future different question. For instance, if the question is about patient teaching for a Cushing's, they will only address the patient teaching as it relates to that question. I would get more out of some bullets of the first, best, and most pertinent patient teaching for Cushing's and then how that knowledge could be applied to that question. You are NEVER going to see these questions again on a HESI or NCLEX, so knowing the answer to that specific question based on the rationale is limited in usefulness.
I felt like I was filling my mind with all these details that were really in the weeds, and spending precious study time remembering whole bunch of random and specific stuff I would never see again. You don't have to know all that random stuff to pass these tests. You have to have a firm grasp on basic content and be able to apply that.
Test banks help you practice answering questions. That is it. You are not going to learn what you need to know for these tests through rationales. And even if you did, that is not an efficient way to convey the material.
I used this and an exam review to improve my scores. I cannot overemphasize how integral Mark Klimek's review was to passing HESI and NCLEX. He covers content and teaches you how to answer questions. You NEED to know patient prioritization, which none of the other materials I used included. Rationales on "who to see first" in a test bank does not teach prioritization that you can apply in a different question.
I think the importance of these test banks and rationales are overemphasized. More time and energy should be targeted to making sure you understand the basics and how to answer the questions - which you get with a review like Mark Klimek.
How I did: I did all the practice tests and two full length tests. My average was 71%, the program's median is 63.3%. My grades were all over the place, the last test I took I got 60%, which was below the median grade. Overall, over the course of using the quiz bank, my grades did not improve. I was really concerned that I was not prepared for HESI based upon my performance. But, in the end I scored 1250 on HESI and NCLEX shut off in 75 question. However, I really credit a lot of this to the Mark Klimek review. This test bank is a supplement, a valuable one indeed, but it should NOT be your primary emphasis.
Response from Your Best GradeOct 10, 2021
Thank you for your review, Sarah!
You are correct that we are not a $400 full comprehensive review program, such as Mark Klimek's review, which you mention (or Kaplan or Hurst). That said, we are (fortunately) also not priced as such.
Some students do benefit from a full comprehensive review program, whereas, for others, this may be overkill and a waste of money. That said, we strongly believe that realistic practice questions benefit every student.
Note that, beyond the ten 30 question practice tests, seven 160 question tests, and three 110 question LPN tests, we also offer 32 55 practice question tests focused on specialty subjects, as well as a CAT self-assessment, and a Test Creator through which you can access 3,000 RN and more than 2,500 PN practice questions (allowing you to focus on any weakspots, whether it's a specific NCLEX Client Need category, a HESI Specialty Subject, body system, etc).
Thank you again for your review and feedback. Congratulations on your great score!

I started using the program a week…
I started using the program a week before my Hesi , I didn’t have much time to spend on it but I was still able to do all the 160 questions test and one of the adaptive test. I passed my Hesi in my first try with over 1100 points. This program helped my a lot in understanding how the Hesi looks like and works, I’m very grateful for that.

Got me through
Honestly, I was given up on your best grade. LOL. But, I started to take my time and go back and carefully read the questions and rationales. I started to see some improvements on my HESI specialties and HESI PN exit. I passed on my last try with an 992. I was really amazed by this score. Best advice I can give is to slow down and read. I will be back for my RN success.

Best study program I’ve seen!
I bought Your Best Grade in my second semester of a 5 semester combined LPN to RN program, after scoring in the low 800s on my first ever HESI. I utilized YBG exclusively to prepare for my HESI tests and used it along with lecture notes and assigned reading to study for unit exams.
When I took my next HESIs, my scores were consistently in the 950-1000+ Range.
I utilized YBG and it’s CAT exams and exit exams to prepare for the NCLEX-PN. The CAT assessments both indicated a Pass. The NCLEX-PN cut off at 75 questions with a Pass!
I am now in my last semester of the RN portion of my program and am utilizing YBG to prepare for my benchmark HESI on Friday as well as unit exams and my HESI exit exam. I will also be using the program to study for my NCLEX-RN in December.
Not only has this program been a game changer for me, the customer service is fantastic! I believe them when they make a promise.
Thank you for making nursing school a little easier and my gpa thanks you as well! I only made one B throughout nursing school and that was before YBG!! All A’s since!
*** follow up!!! I scored 1243 out of 1350 on my benchmark HESI. 99.99th percentile. If YOU put the effort in, this program works.
