HESI A2 exam Study Material

[brockwellcr]

I was wondering what the best study material/books are to prepare for the HESI A2 entrance exam. All of the reviews i see are mixed so I am not sure which books to get to prepare. I also saw that most books do not prepare well for Anatomy and Physiology part of the exam, is there any books you guys thought did well preparing you for that part or good study materials for it?

I couldn't agree with you more. I found a lot of mixed reviews about what study material I should be using. However, I used all my study books/material to prepare for the exam and I scored a 90.4% on it! I used the following to help me study for the HESI: HESI Admission Assessment Exam Review (Elsevier), HESI A2 Secrets Study Guide (Mometrix), 3 HESI A2 Practice Tests (McGraw-Hill Education), the PocketPrep app for the HESI, and Crash Course videos for A&P on Youtube. McGraw-Hill Education also has there own review book, but I only got their practice test book.

I was most nervous for the A&P section, but I ended up doing the best on it! I believe the books I used prepared me very well for A&P. Elsevier's book is the best, in my opinion, because they are the ones who actually create the test, so they put exactly what you need to know for the A&P section. Just focus on general concepts and not all of the fine details. A lot of the questions are very general, but there are some that require more critical thinking. For the more difficult ones, just use the process of elimination and remember what you studied! I hope this helps!
