Start practicing

The HESI RN Maternity/Pediatric NGN is a computer-based exam used in many RN programs to evaluate how well you apply maternity and pediatric nursing knowledge in realistic clinical situations. Expect NGN-style items such as multiple choice, multiple response, ordered response, and case-based questions designed to test clinical judgment—not just memorization.

This exam is typically taken by nursing students and RN HESI candidates preparing for maternity/peds coursework, progression requirements, or program completion benchmarks. Schools often use a scaled HESI score (0–1000), with a commonly used passing benchmark around 850—though the required score can vary by program.

The exam matters because it can impact your ability to move forward in your program, meet course outcomes, or demonstrate readiness for clinical practice in maternal-newborn and pediatric settings. Your results also highlight strengths and gaps that can affect performance in related exams and clinical decision-making.

Preparation is important because the format is time-limited (about 60 questions in roughly 75 minutes, depending on your school) and includes partial-credit scoring on select NGN items. Practicing with realistic question styles and reviewing explanations helps you build speed, improve accuracy, and feel more confident when you sit for the exam.

Exam Structure

HESI RN Maternity/Pediatric NGN exam format and structure

Know what you’ll face on test day—item types, timing, scoring, and what to prioritize in your study plan.

The HESI RN Maternity/Pediatric NGN is a computer-based exam that typically includes about 60 questions to complete in about 75 minutes (your school may set different parameters). You’ll move through a mix of standalone questions and NGN-style clinical scenarios that require you to interpret patient information and make safe, prioritized nursing decisions.

Expect NGN-style item formats such as multiple choice, multiple response (select all that apply), ordered response (drag-and-drop sequencing), and case-based items. Some NGN questions award partial credit, so your score can reflect how close your clinical judgment is—even when every selection isn’t perfect. Scores are reported on the HESI scaled score range (0–1000), and many programs use an 850 benchmark, though your passing requirement is school-specific.

Your Game Plan

Build a focused study plan that fits your timeline

Use Keslaly to diagnose what you need, practice what matters, and prove you’re ready under timed conditions.

  1. Start with a diagnostic baseline
    Take a baseline assessment to see where you’re starting and which NGN-style item types (multiple response, ordered response, case-based items) need the most attention. This prevents wasted study time and gives you a clear first target.
  2. Set your exam date and auto-build a schedule
    Use the Smart Study Planner to map your available days into a realistic weekly plan. It breaks your prep into manageable sessions so you stay consistent instead of cramming right before test day.
  3. Practice weak areas first (in short, repeatable sets)
    Keslaly’s Intelligent Practice Engine prioritizes questions based on your performance, so you spend more time where you’re losing points. Targeted practice helps you improve faster than random question drilling.
  4. Review explanations and fix patterns
    After each session, use post-session review to study detailed answer explanations and identify why you missed items (content gap, misread stem, or NGN logic). Turning mistakes into a checklist of fixes is how scores move.
  5. Train for timing and test-day pressure
    Add timed readiness exams to build pacing for an estimated 60 questions in 75 minutes. Using exam simulation tools (timer, navigation, flags) helps you practice staying calm, prioritizing, and finishing strong.
  6. Track progress with analytics and a readiness score
    Your Performance Analytics Dashboard shows trends over time, strengths vs. weak areas, and how you’re doing by question type. Readiness tracking helps you decide when to push forward, when to review, and when you’re ready for a full mock.
  7. Confirm readiness with full mock exams and adjust
    Take full mock exam simulations to mirror a realistic testing session and verify your pacing and accuracy. Then update your plan based on the results—tighten weak areas, reinforce strengths, and retest until your performance is consistent.
