Re: Anyone taken HESI A2 admission assessment test yet?
Just wanted to add to this thread, as it was a big help in my prep...
I took the HESI this morning, and I'm glad to say I passed with a 91.5.
Everything that has been posted here is true. I borrowed the study guide from the town library, and studied for about two weeks.
The study guide was GREAT for a math review. The math was super easy b/c they allow the computer calculator. If you know how to "manipulate" fractions and decimals on the calc, then you'll be fine. There were a few conversions (mostly -meters, -liters, -gallons, etc.), so make sure you get those down. A few military time and Roman numeral questions as well.
Vocab was a little tougher; there was a lot of medical terminology. I Google'd medical terminology quizzes and played around with those. It was a big help.
The sciences were as expected:
Know the cell (organelles, etc.)
Osmosis, active/passive transport
Aerobic and anaerobic respiration
ATP
DNA and RNA
The heart (basics)
What the systems in the body do
Basics of bones and joints
Basics of muscles
Planes and Cavities
Endocrice system
I also found online quizzes for A&P and Bio that helped a lot. The guide for these parts was just that - a guide. If you study the guide, and do a little extra research, it should be fairly easy. However, don't expect to NOT study and have an easy time (I've finished both A&P I and II), unless you really know your stuff.
All in all, it wasn't as bad as I worked my self up for it to be
