Is there more than one HESI exam?

Nursing Students HESI

Published

Hello all. I've been studying for the HESI (which I'm taking Oct. 11th) and whenever I search for "pre-tests" I get results for an A-2 test and some other versions. The test I registered for was simply the HESI and I was told (by the college -- hopefully not because they just want to make money) that the best study guide was the HESI Admission Assessment 3rd edition. So, I studied the math section and then went online to see if I could find some practice tests and the questions were not similar - a few but, not many. I was on "proprofs.com" and "quizlet.com" and they didn't ask any algebra or fraction questions to name a few but those topics are in the book. I felt like I studied for the wrong exam. Does anyone know, if I am studying from the 3rd edition book by Elsevier -- is this a good study guide? Would anyone happen to know a good site for some pre-test questions? Any input appreciated! Thank you!!

angelwms7785 - honestly, I thought the biology section was a combination of things I learned in biology, A&P and microbiology. there were 25 questions -- I got 2 wrong. I watched some youtube videos to refresh myself on topics like mitosis, meiosis, cellular respiration and photosynthesis. You may only get one question from any one of those topics. such as "how many ATP's are produced during glycolysis." so, I wouldn't say you need to know every detail about every topic but, I would make myself familiar with the lessons again. I again highly recommend you study from the HESI 3rd edition guide I mentioned above. When you start to read the biology section and do the practice exams, you will understand better what you should know. also, quizlet has some good practice questions and of course, youtube or Kahn Academy videos to refresh yourself. so, I guess no one has any thoughts on the 84% for my exam?? I really don't want to take the exam again if I don't have to. I guess I will ask an advisor at my college their thoughts. :up:

Hi there Thank you for the useful info! :) I can honestly say that what I'm most worried about on the hesi is the math part. I know its all basic math but what I'm most worried about is the word problem questions. I get so thrown off as to what it's asking me to do. I can do the math (conversions, fractions, addition, etc.) but when it's in a word problem format I get confused. :\ do you recall if there were a lot of word problems in the math section? I'm pretty confident that I won't have much problem on reading, grammar, and everything else.[/quote'] that's my problem I'm not good with word problems do anyone know a good practice site or sonething ?
