Yeah, I hope I do great as well . I'm trying to do problems and getting 'em right, hopefully I'll do the same when testing....I'm bad test taker and also if it's on a computer, I find it little bit more time consuming....Anyhow, from what I heard, they're testing on every saturday of this month but they're trying to add some weekdays too if the proctor is available. So, I guess all this month? Don't know about september though. And yeah, I wanna get it done too so I can get to the interviewing too and already start with the program!

I'm scheduled on thursday, august 20th at kaplan-stockton for the HESI. I'll be reviewing my HESI book this weekend.

Hey,

I just had a quick question for you guys. What sections were you tested on in the HESI? Just reading, math, vocabulary, right? Not Grammar or any sciences, correct? Also, were you allowed to use a calculator or scratch paper? Thanks a lot!

took the HESI today and did quite well!

the test covered math, vocabulary and reading/comprehension. there were also personality and learning type sections where I was evaluated (spot on, I might add), but not scored.

and contrary to what others have said, the HESI A2 study guide did help! I just wish I would've known that the test wasn't going to cover A&P, chem and physics. I did spend considerable time working on those subjects.

Hi,

That's good you did good, Plaza . Were you allowed to use a calculator or scratch paper for math?

they allowed us to have a pencil/pen, and scratch paper that they supplied. calculators were on the computer (thank goodness).

there was a significant amount of decimals, fractions, ratios and multiplication.

the test took 3 hrs. and you must complete each section.

the results are available as soon as you shut off the program but they are also available online w/a full description and analysis. your test results compare you to others in the same testing group but not to universal test results. I'd like that information.

Thanks for the info. Plaza! About the reading and the vocab., was it similar to the study guide? I heard that the time provided wasn't enough, is that true? Also, do you mind sharing what your score was?

I scored in the high 90s for math and vocab. math and science have always been my strong suits and I am an avid reader and love to learn new words.

only scored in the mid 80s for reading and comprehension, though. that was a bit disappointing. make sure you know the difference w/re: to author intention (like in the study guide).

there is plenty of time to complete the testing. they allow 3 hrs and all questions need to be answered. it's not like the wonderlic where you get 75 questions and get cut off at 12 minutes. I'm still curious about that test....

the next step for me is the interview sometime next month.
