HESI A2


I have to take the HESI A2 exam in 2 days and am having difficulty obtaining important information about the test. Specifically, is a periodic table provided and is a unit conversion chart provided?

I can't believe that they expect you to memorize the periodic table and conversions such as cups to liters!

I have the Elsevier study guide but it i useless!

thanks!

What college are you taking it for?? I just took the A2 yesterday for Chamberlain and the math was a breeze, no algebra or graphs, but there were things on there such as military times and conversions, mainly kilometers to meters and cups to pints..and as far as the science goes there was science but it was not counted for. Only math and english..

It was so easy don't sweat the Chemistry part at all. Its basic and I mean basic! You don't have to know all the elements on the periodic chart. Sodium, Potasium, Calcium, Water. Think Fluid and Electrolyte balances. Have you recently taken A&P or at least Bio156? If so you will be fine. Brush up on metric converstions and ratio & proportions as you WILL need those in Nursing School so the A2 generally tests on those. It's basic intro to Nursing School stuff.

I'm taking the HESI A2 in a month and I am worried about a few things such as the reading comprehension and vocabulary.

What study guide does everyone recommend? and what websites?
