Hi everyone...has anyone taken the Hesi Entrance Exam? What do I need to study that will help me with the exam? I bought the study guide book. Do we need to know metric conversions? Hows the reading portion? Thanks for any help! SonoHead

the reading portion of the hesi is the same as the study guide. i recommend memorizing all of the vocab in the book- use flash cards. memorize the section in the math part of the book that says stuff you should know/memorize. you need to know that.

know how to add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions.

know how to do proportion equations for example 24:3::45:?

here is great study tool i just made up when i took the hesi (i got a 100 on the math)

sing it to the tune of how much is that doggie in the window

1 gallon is 4 quarts in my refridgerator

1 gallon is 128 ounces

1 quart is 2 pints and 1 pint is 2 cups

1 cup is 8 ounces

i used that on the test on at least 2 questions - it was awesome!

you will also need to memorize 1 g = ? mg and 1 kilometer =? m liters, ml, etc.

all of those conversions - which i also recommend flashcarding

the vocab part of the test had about 3/4 of the vocab from the vocab chapter... the rest of the vocab came from a&p like if your arm is away from your heart is this distal, posterior, etc..... memorize the body quadrants - like distal and proximal

they also through a couple of bio terms in there like osmosis. even though we werent tested on a&p and sciences. so i recommend skimming through those chapters even if they say you wont take the test - it might be relevant on the vocab.

oh - know how to calculate pounds to kilograms.... for example - your patient was 23 pounds - what is that in kilograms? simply multiply the pounds by 2.2

so 23 x 2.2= easy enough - just remember the formula

also know how to convert from f to c and vice versa.... memorize the formula- it will be on the test and they dont provide the formula.

that is all i can think of - if you need any help feel free to send me a message!
