Hesi A2 Entrance Exam

Published

Hello Everyone,

I am scheduled to take my Hesi A2 entrance exam August 30th, and I am kind of freakin' out!!! Any tips for me?! Anyone know of any good practice sites online that offer a test similar to the hesi or something that helped you study?! Especially biology and chemistry, if anyone could offer me some advice on those sections that would be greatly appreciated!!!! How in depth the biology is and the chemistry is?! Thanks in advance everyone!!!

I'm required to take everything but physics for my hesi :)

I can tell you to take a large, deep breath and relax. The test is a big deal but I have to say freaking out isn't productive for you. The test is long and comprehensive but it's not that bad I assure you. As far as HESI A2 help, I do have some options for you. Go here: https://sites.google.com/site/apinnerworkings/

There you'll find decent study guides to give you an idea what to expect. I recommend specifically the HESI outline I found. All of the study guides are free to download and are on the HESI A2 tab under "free stuff." The downloads are at the bottom of the page. When I finished the test, I wrote a review of it. You can search my name here to read it. I've also found useful resources and put them on my site as well. I hope this helps and remember to breathe, chillax, and realize that you can do this. :D

I just took the HESI today. Totally bombed the A&P section.. That book I bought was a complete waste!! (Evolve Reach)

Only allowed two attempts within a year, so cant imagine what I'll do If I fail next time.

Surprised I even got 50% considering I spent almost a week studying pure crap. The fact that there were only 30 questions took me by surprise. I focused all of my attention of memorizing the hormones for the Endocrine system.. bleh

I wish I could try a few practice tests of the HESI actually resembles the tests layout.. But the evolve website is such a mess and so hard to navigate. I'll give your outline a try Floridatrail :(

FlordiaTrail, Wow that is great. Thank you! Do you suggest going into a lot of detail on these topics? For example, cell respiration I just kind of studied glycolisis and where it happens and what is produced during it... same with Krebs cycle and Electron transport chain... I shouldn't need much more deatil than that correct? Ugh and that kingdom junk... just won't stay with me!!!!!!!!

I didn't have to take the A&P, Chemistry, or Physics portion of the test. I wouldn't bother your self with the tiny, minute details. I would recommend a nice overview of each subject. It's nearly impossible to remember all of it out of all the subjects. I would know a little bit of everything from each subject. I put an outline on my site that should narrow you studies somewhat. Good luck. :D
