(HESI) A2 entrance assessment a total of two times. If the minimum score is not met, the applicant must wait six (6) months before retesting.  \nAn applicant may retake the HESI A2 entrance exam only once after passing the required cut scores at the student’s expense.  \nAll students must complete the Online Readiness Assessment.  \nAll previously completed HESI assessments from Concorde, or another institution will be accepted at Concorde’s approved acceptable minimum scores. In addition, assessments from other institutions must not have been taken within 30 days of enrollment.  \nThe Wonderlic SLE requirement may be waived upon receipt of documentation of any of the following:  \n• SAT score of 1000 or above achieved within five years of the date of application to Concorde.  \n• ACT score of 19 or above achieved within five years of the date of application to Concorde.  \n• Official proof of successfully passing the Wonderlic SLE at the current required score.  \n• All core and clinical applicants and reentry students are exempt from Wonderlic SLE testing if they can provide a copy of unofficial transcripts of earning an Associate’s or higher degree that was taught in the English language. Applicants for clinical programs must still take and pass the HESI for their program if they are using a waiver for the Wonderlic SLE.  \nThe HESI A2 requirement may be waived:  \n• The student is applying to a program for which the HESI A2 is not required for waitlist rankings.  \n• The student provides a copy of unofficial transcripts of earning an Associate’s or higher degree that was taught in the English language. Applicants with an approved HESI A2 waiver must still take the Wonderlic SLE and meet the minimum score.  \n• The applicant achieves a Wonderlic SLE score of 20 or higher for Respiratory Therapy, Surgical Technology or Vocational Nursing; or 21 or higher for Physical Therapist Assistant.  \n• A graduate of the Sterile Processing Technician program who achieved both a Wonderlic SLE of 14 or higher and a GPA of 3.5 or higher will not need to take the HESI. If that criteria is met, the 17 Wonderlic SLE minimum score is not applicable for the Surgical Technology program.  \nClinical Programs  \nProspective clinical students will sit for the Wonderlic SLE (excluding those exempted above) . Prospective students applying for clinical programs that lead to board exams and/or licensure who meet the initial Wonderlic SLE acceptable minimum score (and those exempted above) will be required to take the HESI (excluding those exempted above) . Candidates for these programs must achieve the minimum composite score to move forward in the admissions process. Please note that a clinical applicant will not be eligible for a waiver for both the Wonderlic and the HESI.  \nThose meeting the Wonderlic SLE minimum score requirement and HESI minimum score requirement will be placedon a waitlist, if applicable. The list will be sorted high to low based on the current waitlist criteria. Students will be selected from the waitlist and notified at least two weeks to the start of the program.","cbCaifaQFBIHGZ7V","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifaQFBIHGZ7V","pdf",30185,"English","# Entrance Assessment Requirements\n## Minimum Scores by Program\n## Retesting Limits and Timing\n## Online Readiness Assessment\n## Transfer and Prior Assessments\n## Wonderlic SLE Waivers\n## HESI A2 Waivers\n## Clinical Programs Admission Process\n## Waitlist Placement and Notifications","[{\"question\":\"How many times can applicants attempt the Wonderlic SLE and HESI A2 entrance assessments?\",\"answer\":\"Applicants may attempt the Wonderlic SLE up to three times total (only twice on the same day).
