Darton students, I have applied for the Albany Spring 2012 program. If anyone can give me any info on the HESI it would be greatly appreciated!! :)

Hey K9mallard and HADD7! Have you guys taken the HESI A2 yet? I just took mine today.

HADD7 · Oct 2, 2011

Hey mjohnson13...I actually take mine oct 8th..how did it go for you?

It went better than expected. I ended up with a composite score of 96. It is such a relief!

As far as the test goes, I would recommend getting the HESI A2 study guide that Darton sells in the bookstore. It helped me a lot. The math, reading, grammar, and vocabulary sections on the HESI are just like what you study in the guide. Focus on the conversions such as ml to L and ounces to cups to gallons, etc. There were also a LOT of ratios and fractions.

The anatomy and physiology part was a little bit more difficult. It is such a broad range of topics that the test has questions on. I would recommend getting a quick study guide like cliff notes and just read over it. The questions on the test weren't too in depth, though. Just basic concepts.

I hope that this helps you prepare :) Good Luck on your test!

HADD7,

that is the same book that I used to study. Just look over the math, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and grammar and you will be fine. As far as the conversions, really look at kg to lbs, ml to L, and quarts, ounces, etc. The biology, chemistry. and physics portions are not tested at Darton so don't worry about those. The book has a short explanation on each of the body systems in the anatomy and physiology part. It is helpful as well.

homes300,

I am also applying for january! I hope you do well on your HESI. Best of luck! Let us know how it turns out.
