Hesi A2 - 2011 Math Review

Published

Hello!! I am set to take my Hesi A2 exam next week and I bought the Evolve Assessment book. There is a complete study guide for the Math portion and then there is also a practice test in the back. Can anyone tell me if the test is going to look more like the test in the back of the book? And are there many questions on conversions?

Like word problems on conversions?? thank you! I'm so nervous!!

I took the Hesi exam and I found the Math portion a little easier than I thought it would be. I was just as nervous as you were to take the exam, but you will do great!! I took it back in Decmeber and I dont remember much about it, but what I do remember is that there are alot of conversions. For example how many liters in meters and stuff like that. I don't remember to many word problems though. I am sorry I don't remember more, but hope that helps!!

There are a few roman numeral questions. A couple on converting from AM/PM time to military time. A few questions on making proper change. Some basic math questions. A few questions involving fractions. It's pretty easy.

I took it a few days ago i didnt have any roman numerals but there was a TON of the ration/proportion problems that you will find in the study guide. Also go over the conversions millileter to liter - ounce to pint...etc. Good luck

The math section is very easy. I hadn't taken math in a good # of years and I got a 100% on it with reviewing for maybe 30 mins top. I wouldn't worry too much :).

Thank you guys!! I hope to get an 100% as well. The nursing school I am applying for is only looking at the math and reading portion of the test. We have to take the rest of the sections as well but the requirement is just to get an 80% on both math and reading. I was just confused bc in my study guide the math portion is different from the practice test in the back. Did anyone study from the Evolve Assessment study guide?

The Evolve guide is all I used. I found it to be adequate. I didn't look too much at the study guide though. Just know the basic math (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) of whole numbers, decimals, and fractions. Also know Roman Numerals and basic household conversions. The only reason I had to review was because I hadn't done math that simple since middle school!!

There is even a calculator you get to use when taking the math section. Frankly it is so easy that a 5th grader could pass the math section. Studying for the exam is a waste of time that would be better spent on learning other things, stuff you'll actually need to know as a nurse to keep people alive.
