Took the hesi A2 thoughts and tips

Hello all!

So, I took the hesi a2 yesterday and just wanted to give my thoughts and tips. So, here it is! if you have any questions feel free to ask! :)

I recommend that you take the longer ones first, because by the end you'll be exhausted. I took math first but definitely recommend taking reading first.

Math: The math was by far the easiest portion of the exam. I scored in the high 80's

Reading: The reading was harder than I expected it to be. The answer choices were very close, so read carefully. The passages were really short.

Grammar: this was super easy. You could basically know the right answer by the way the sentences sounded.

Vocab: Was definitely easier than I thought. I would recommend buying the hesi a2 study guide because majority of the words were from the study guide.

Bio: the easiest part of the sciences.

Chemistry: By far the hardest portion of the test. I cannot even tell you what was on it. It was such a blur. I scored in the low 60's, and got an A in my chemistry course. It was very difficult.

A&P: very random. again this was at the end of the test, so it was kind of a blur. Just review anatomy notes.

and that's it!

It's not as hard as I thought it would be. Just take a deep breath and take your time. You all will do great :)

How soon after did you get your grades?

You get the grades right away as soon as you are done, as for the Bio - easy! ha hardly anything came from the study guide! I had to pull Bio from years of memory to rock that out. Be prepared, studying for this test days in advance or even a week or 2 is NOT enough. As for the reading, correct, too much and too many same answers, tricky. I managed to do pretty well, good luck to everyone sitting!

Hi, was algebra and things such as square roots in the math section?

Hello can you tell me what is the exact name of the hesi A2 biok you recommend. I am planning on taking the test next week to start school dec. 30. Any info would be greatly appreciated

Can you tell me more about the chemistry? Did you need to memorize the periodic table? What kinds of questions threw you?

Yes, the chemistry for me was brutal! know everything in the book plus more. I Cant even remember much that was on the chem part because I took it last All I remember is that it was the hardest section, and my lowest score.

here is the ISBN number for the study guide: 978-1455703333

Hi,

what is the anatomy and physiology portion like? I am freaking out about this part. I haven't taken A&P II yet. Thanks

A few recommend "Evolve Reach admission"exam review for math, english and vocab and recommend "Mcgraw hill" nursing exam for chemistry, A&P, and biology.

Do you remember if you needed to memorize the periodic table or if they gave you the atomic number/mass for any questions you would need to know it to answer?
