Mslecia20 what college did you take it for? and Do you think you will get in with an 80%. That seems to be a good score to me. I'm just a little nervous I took it for one college and made a 84% that was my first time taking it. Then I took it at another college that want anatomy, which anatomy made my score go down to a 78.40%. So you see your right anatomy is much more challenging. Anyway I just hope one of those scores are high enough. The schools I picked were Darton college and middle georgia college.

Can anyone tell me what kind of A&P questions are on the Hesi? I have taken the Hesi before but only took the reading, math and English parts because that is all the first school I applied to required, but I have found that most of the others here want all 7 parts.

I took the hesi on Tuesday, anatomy was pretty random but not really that specific. I studied the most for that section and I still didn't feel as prepared as I could have been. I got a 92 in a&p but definitely dont rely on the the evolve book for anatomy.

That's a really good score...What kind of topics was asked for the a&p section? You don't have to be verbatum, but moreso a general idea.

Thanks

I took my hesi exam on April 10th and I made a 91.5%. I hope it's good enough because a lot of people had applied at San jacinto college north campus. They said that they will be emailing out the acceptance/denied letters either by the end of this week or beginning of next.

I would say know ......That's all I really remember.. I used quizlet alot too, I looked up each a&p body system on there.

Thank you for the advice. I ordered the McGraw-Hill book because it was only 10.00 and that will be a goiod start to studying. The flash cards were 40.00 and maybe later on I will get those, or maybe there will be another used one cheaper on amazon.

What other rescources have folks used?

I will call the school and ask about what portions they test on: good tip! Thanks so much.

I took the Hesi on Friday April 27th. I used everything from YouTube videos to study guides online and quizlet. I found the vocab hard majority of the vocab words in the book was not on the test.

I just took the HESI on April 30. I took it at the end of my A&P II semester, two days after the lab final and a week before the lecture final. Because of that timing, I did not spend much time studying A&P specifically for the HESI, but rather was depending on the studying and learning I had done for my class finals. The A&P questions on the HESI were random. I knew some and didn't know others. If you recently took Anatomy and Physiology, you will probably be ok. If not, you will have to brush up. Again, the questions were really random and therefore require a broad/general knowledge of the subject.

I spent several days before the exam working out math problems. I used the Evolve exam review. I made sure I knew how to do all the types of problems in that guide and that was sufficient. So, if you have no difficulty with working out the problems in the review book, you will most likely do well on the HESI math portion.

I did not study for vocabulary, except for glossing over some vocab lists. I also did not study for the reading comprehension. I did read through the exam review about grammar, but I did that the night before the test. The vocab, reading and grammar sections were relatively easy. I did not have to take the biology section or any other science besides A&P.

I suggest picking the parts of the exam you are most worried about and do them first. I had four hours to do the whole test. I thought each section was individually timed. But it wasn't. In the end, I finished in about 1 hr 45 min, the bulk of which was spent meticulously doing math problems--even the "easy" ones.

Good luck to all who are taking it! You will feel great when it is behind you and you have done well! It's a wonderful relief.
