have you taken the HESI A2 test?


Hey there! I took the HESI admission test the other day. It only consisted of math, reading, and grammar. I got a 95%. I'm pretty sure I'll get accepted into the nursing program.

Has anybody else taken the "basic" HESI test? How did you do? Did you get accepted, or are you still waiting to find out like I am?

hi there! I take mine at the end of this month. Unfortunately, I have to take all of the sections. You did really well! Congrats! I have a question for you on the reading. Do you read the passage, and then it takes you to another page where the questions are (and you can't go back to re-read) or can you read the passage and answer questions at the same time? Thanks!

Thank you! And I will have to take another HESI with all the sections as well. Hehe.

For the reading section, the passage is on the same page as the question/answer choices. It's one question at a time though... and you can't go back. But the passage is always there. Thank goodness! Haha. The reading section was a lot easier than I thought it would be, too. Good luck on your test!

Why do you have to retake the HESI with all the sections when you stated earlier you already took it and made a 95. which by the way congrats thats a awesome score!! Just curious if you are retaking it to apply for other schools or what.Good luck on getting in!

u know, i had the same problem. but when i talked to elselvier, they said that i could not do that, as in take the test with only 5 sections and then re-take the hesi with all 8 sections for another school. i needed only 5 sections for uta and wanted to take it in order to focus my best. however, for twu, i needed all 8 and they said i better take all 8 sections at one time since they would not let me re-schedule if i only took the 5 for uta, if that makes sense. I hope they let you re-take the test for this testing cycle. personally, i dont think its fair. if they have a rule, then they should apply to all students.

Hello,

I took the "basic" HESI A2 exam last Friday and got my results via email. 100% in Math 89% in Reading comp, 90% in Grammar, 86% in Vocab, 80% in Chemistry, 84% in Biology, 80% in Anat/Phys. For my school only the first 4 count so those were the ones I studied. I used the recommended study guide by Evolve and also used some worksheets that I found to practice the conversion problems. I've been out of college for 2 years and was really worried about taking a test because of that. I'd be lying if I said I didn't study because I did. I studied math the most. I really think that if you follow the study guide you will be fine. Even for the vocabulary. All in all, I will be starting my nursing program at Long Island University in the fall!! I've waited forever for this moment!
