HESI A2 Entrance Test

Published

Hello,

Does anyone know how long it takes to get your scores after taking the HESI A2 entrance exam?

Thanks in advance!

After you finished taking the test how long did it take for the school to get the scores?

It depends on the requirements of the program for which you are applying.

For example, I only had to take the A&P section, the math section, the vocab section, the reading section, and the critical thinking section. I simply disregarded all other sections.

Does anyone know what the break down of scoring is for the HESI A2, a competitive score?

Does anyone know when the Hesi A2 exam is being offered at Chandler gilbert community college in the pecos campus. They said in March, but I can't seem to find an exact date. Please let me know, I already pruchased the study guide, but if anyone knows where I could find a link where I can get a different study guide online please let me know. the links posted, none of them work. Please let me know, if you can. ...

Thankss

Hey =)

I realize this is an older thread but I just took the Hesi A2 exam last week and I know what my scores were but the e-mail from Evolve containing the info to access my scores on their website does NOTHING to help me actually access the scores. I have an account with Evolve (registered just so I could see the scores) and I can't find them?!?....thought maybe you knew how to navigate that dang website! It isn't very user friendly!

Thanks!

Hi there, I have a question for "UKGIRL" , can you please give me some examples on what it was at the critical reading section, and if it was anything like it is in the Evolve study guide as far as vocab words, grammar and if the study guide helped you.

I will appreciate so much. I am so scared that I feel like I am losing my mind.

Thank you

Hey hurrlybaby!

I actually have to disagree with most of the posts on this subject and say that I definitely think the study guide helped! Well, it wasn't all that helpful on the sciences (Biology and Chemistry that is-- I did NOT have to take A&P section)...I actually studied all my notes and flash cards from my Chem class (which I just took last fall) and as much biology I could find from my A&P notes/flash cards, IN ADDITION to the study guide's science sections. I felt like these 2 sections were really the only difficult portions on the exam. I scored an 84% on both and there were only 33 questions (or so) for each. I wanted to mention this first because I was NOT HAPPY when I left because I really felt like I had studied enough to do much better on the sciences...but don't fret, I think I was just getting tired (left the sciences for last since I felt I as most prepared for them) and was annoyed that the questions weren't the ones I had hoped they would ask ;)

As for the Reading and Comprehension - I felt like it was VERY similar to the study guide. I was nervous about this part before I took the test too actually, mainly because it is unpredictable. I can't remember specific examples other than reconfirming that the format is just like what is in the guide...each reading passage is about 2-4 paragraphs (short paragraphs, like 5 or so sentences) and you don't have to memorize them, after you answer the first question for the passage another one will pop up under the passage so you can reference the material for each answer. The grade is based on "subsections", for example, I received a 100% on "Meaning and word use" but scored an 86% on "Conclusions"...there are 4 of these subcategories, my over-all Reading and Comprehension score was a 93.5%.

Vocabulary was just like the study guide. I went so far as to study medical terminology to make sure I was over prepared and I could have spent that time on the sciences!! Several of my Vocabulary words were also used in the Reading and comprehension section, so I had already read them in a sentence which was helpful in a few instances. But I think if you study the vocab in the guide you will be well prepared...there are obviously a few that weren't in the study guide but nothing crazy. Try not to worry too much about this section.

Grammar was the EASIEST section! This is JUST like the study guide. My version of the test did not ask me to dissect a sentence and identify sentences parts (like the predicate, predicate nominative, etc.), which was something I was super nervous about for some reason!! They might ask those questions on other versions but not on mine. Say the sentence to yourself and if you are unsure, go with what "sounds" right.

I was a nervous wreck before I took the test, so I know how you feel. This is a good thing because you know you won't slack on your preparation!! Like I said at the beginning, the only sections that I struggled with were Bio and Chem, I didn't personally like the way some of the questions were worded...but I think any class you take relies heavily on the instructor and how they teach you the material - because of that I think I was thrown off by the way the questions were asked. This is not to say that you will feel the same, you may very well find the sciences to be a breeze, several people on here did!!

My main word of advise, of course I am A.D.D. and HATE to sit still, is to take short breaks. I mean VERY short breaks, to be sure you don't lose any time I would get right back at it. I only took one break, to run to the restroom and back, and it really helped me "reboot". I finished with maybe 30 or so minutes left to spare (of the 4 hours) and had I known that I would have a little time left I would have taken at least one other quick breather. I did go very slow thru the test tho, on purpose, to make sure I really thought about each question cause I tend to jump to conclusions and miss the easiest questions because of it (did I mention I have A.D.D.?!;)).

If you have studied, and continue to until you go for the test, you really should be fine. I got an over-all score of a 91.25% and so far the average (for everyone who has taken the test as of today) is a 69%.

When do you take it?

My exam is on May 14. I am scarred. I wish I could have more material to get ready for. I do not on what to put my hands. If you have any suggestions I would appreciate.

I studied any notes I had from previous classes and did a lot of research online...but I don't know what else is out there really?! I bought the cliffs notes for Chem and Bio too actually.

Hey, I have a question for ya -- when did you send in your application? It seems as tho there are SEVERAL deadlines to take the test so I am wondering how they divvy it up. I was told (originally) on March 1st that I have until March 19th...so I took it on March 17th, then I was told I had till April 23.....and some people don't have to take it till May 14th.....what the heck?!?
