Passed HESI A2 for Sandhills

Nursing Students HESI

Published

so i just took my hesi a2 today and although i passed everything, I'm a bit dissapointed in my score for the A & P section. Granted I have taken the classes almost 5 years ago, but I studied hard. I only received a 76%. However the math section I received a 92%! Yay! Much better than when I first took the HESI 3 years ago (right before I changed my major) which was only a 76%. What I did to pass the math part was study fractions, fractions and more fractions! Those beastly devils were the most problems! Learn how to turn them into percents, and vice versa and of course dont forget how to change decimals into percents and into fractions. The other questions I noticed were more of the conversion factors. Know how many meters go into kilometers etc... How many yards are in a mile, how many ounces are in a mL. And so on. Even though I studied roman numerals I didnt actually get a question on those. My school didnt allow calculators, even one on the computer. We had only scratch paper to work with ughh.

As for the A & P, I studied, but I guess I didnt study in depth to the point they wanted me to. I knew where the calcaneous was, and muscles surrounded the femoris. However if you asked me what stage ossidation (sp?) happened in during fetal development, I was wholly lost. And who remembers where B-lymphocytes come from? I sure didnt lol.

Anyways, the rest of the test was fairly easy. What I did to study was I religiously used the little quizlets on most of the various systems of the body, and I also made sure (since I am a visual learner) to go to youtube and watch how different functions and how they worked etc...The one regret that I had was that I didnt have more time to study, I only had a week and a half, since I just moved here and realized that I had signed up for the earliest test they give. If I end up taking this test again, I will make sure to study months in advance that way I will know all those nerves that connect the kidneys to everything else.

I keep reading about some schools allowing calculators, and others not. I wonder how that's possible. I would think it should be test based, not school based. Good Luck to you!

Congrats on getting in! I'm starting in the Fall too...I haven't been able to find much information on here about Sandhills. What section did you choose during the orientation for class/clinicals?
