Thank you in advance! Good luck in your first semester!

Hey there, current 4th semester here. I suggest getting the HESI a2 study guide, it teaches you all there is to know for the HESI. I believe the fall applicants were the first to take the critical thinking exam but the way I understood it, the questions are looking at the way you think so there's no technical right or wrong answer, but I didn't take it so I could be wrong. I also suggest starting a page like this because it helps you all get to know one-another and help and encourage each other through the process. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!!

Hello!!

Definitely take Kendra's advice on purchasing the Hesi A2 book and creating a thread like this one as it will be very helpful while preparing for admission. Typically current students will go out to this site to see if they can offer any advice to new candidates. Kendra, is very knowledgeable and helpful!!

I'm starting my 1st semester in a couple of weeks and was part of the first group to take the CT. The exam is worth 15 points so you'll want to try your best even though failing won't necessarily disqualify you. I will say that it is a little hard to study for the exam as it is made up of clinical scenario questions that test your judgment. Questions like "you overheard a coworker discussing patient information, what would you do?" You'll also have questions that are more in the lines of going through your chain of command.

I would also advise to take as many as the supporting courses you can as it will not only increase your points but it will also reduce the amount of courses you take during the program.

Best of luck!
