Oh man was I nervous! I saved the A&P for last and I swear I must have looked like a crazy person in there, I would start to think about the A&P section and start hyperventilating! When I got to the A&P section it seemed to easy so I got scared I got them all wrong. Here are my scores

92% on A&P

90% on Math

88% Vocab

89% Reading Comp

890/100 Critical Thinking

89.687 Overall!!! YAY

I wish it was a 90 though! Would have gotten 25 points instead of 20 toward my app. Now I am just waiting for a letter!

Thanks guys! Study A&P! I didn't start studying for mine until two weeks before the test either so you should be fine. I've been through A&P 1 and I am halfway though A&P 2. The questions were pretty basic a few on brain lobes and what body function they control (medulla-resp) some on blood flow, some on heart anatomy, one on cell structure, one on an eye disease called Chalazon? I am suprised I got it right I have never heard of that before and the rest must have been really basic because I don't even remember the questions. lol For math it's all really simple. Multiplication of fractions was the hardest. Know your conversions there were a few fill in the blanks one was Kilograms to pounds. Study vocab, I figured it would be easy and didn't even bother looking at the study guide but I only got an 88% so there were a few things I didn't know. Study read comp too it's tricky. They give you two answers that are basically the same so study the book and see if that helps. I am sure you will do great! Goodluck!

Great job and congratulations! Which study guides would you recommend using? I have heard the Evolve book isn't all that helpful. Thanks!

I did well too. I am just now finishing up A/P 2 and need to take my Hesi test for A/P. What did u study? I have the Hesi guide and all my material from last semester and this semester. Is that enough to use for studying or do I need more? What was covered?

Thank You:)

Yeah the study guide isn't great for anatomy. Study your notes from class, that's what I did. Make sure to know your brain lobes and what function they control, know your hormones, blood flow, muscles, directional terms (distal, superior) Veins, Cell function. If you have been through anatomy one and most of anatomy two you should be fine. It was all stuff I had learned already. :) Goodluck everyone!
