Are there measurement conversions on HESI?

Published

I am studying the HESI exam guide for math. I plan to try to take the HESI soon, hopefully next week. In the exam guide there is a brief section of measurement conversions but no practice problems. Does that mean there aren't any on the test?

I am using HESI Admission Assessment Exam Review, Ed. 3 by Elsevier.

I am wondering if I should put in some time to study conversions or not?

Yes, know conversions. When I took mine there were a few problems, but it mostly consisted of fractions and ratios! I took the HESI a few months ago.

They're not difficult. Simply knowing the conversion formula suffices. :)

Well how do you normally convert?

If you know how to do what they show in the study guide you should be fine. That's the only thing I studied. I got maybe two conversion questions. The bulk of the questions were ratios and fractions when I took it. Oh, and some percentages too.

I had a few kitchen type conversions--I used the big G method....
