Re: Anyone taken HESI A2 admission assessment test yet?
Hi I just took the HESI last week! I took the reading, vocab, grammer, A&P, and BIO. I was really worried about the math. I really hate math! Surprise! It was easier than I thought. Very basic know fractions, %, decimals, order of operations, coversions( ML to G, pints to gallons) Some word problems but only one or two levels deep( like add then change to %).The worst part of the math was we could not have scratch paper Try to subtract improper fractions in your head, not fun. The worst part for me was the BIO alot of molecular level stuff( osomosis, diffusion, cell structure and function, steps of DNA replication. The A&P was heavy on the chemistry also, but also has some really easy questions. Know your anatomy and basic functions. Know anatomical positions(distal,transverse etc..) electrolytes, blood path thru heart. The reading/vocab was good for me, but the class average was 70%. Review your basic grammer/spelling rules, vocab is medical terms and some of the usual bizarre words they throw in. Know you medical pre-fix/suffix. Don't save the reading comp for last like I did! Its long and boring! I was whipped and needed to concentrate. Use the study guide by HESI that is the best predictor for whats on the test! I over studied with other test prep books and didn't need too! Just learn the HESI book and you will be fine! I have to take the Mobility Exam next week anyone offer any insights??
