(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.  \nNursing Program Candidates must meet the minimum overall HESI A2 assessment score listed above. In addition, any candidate who does not meet the minimum overall score on their first attempt must repeat the entire exam. Attempt of individual HESI exam sections is not permitted for Nursing Program Candidates. A candidate is permitted a total of three attempts to successfully complete the HESI A2 exam at no cost. Each additional attempt at the exam will be charged to the candidate at $50 per attempt.  \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 if completed within two years of enrollment. 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 within the last two years at the current required score.  \n• All core applicants and reentry students are exempt from Wonderlic SLE testing if they can provide a copy or unofficial transcripts of earning an Associate’s or higher degree that was taught in the English language.  \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 or 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.","cbCair6CsKFW8kmZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCair6CsKFW8kmZ","pdf",26399,"English","# Vocational Nursing Entrance Examination Requirements\n## Examination minimum eligible scores\n## Retesting limits and timing rules\n## Program-specific HESI A2 rules\n## Online Readiness Assessment\n## Accepted prior assessments\n## Wonderlic SLE waiver conditions\n## HESI A2 waiver conditions","[{\"question\":\"What minimum scores are required for Wonderlic and HESI A2?\",\"answer\":\"Wonderlic requires a minimum eligible score of 17.
