Hi, I am applying for UT health science center and was wondering what people have scored on their Hesi A2 exam..?, so I can see what the approximate average score is....
Mine was
1) Reading Comprehension: 86.96
2) Meaning-Word Use: 100
3) Conclusions: 100
4) Implications: 91.67
5) Understanding: 75
6) Grammar: 94
7) Vocabulary & General Knowledge: 90
English Language composite Score: 90.32
8) Biology: 84
9) Chemistry: 100
10) Anatomy & Physiology: 96
Science Composite Score: 93.33
11) Math: 100
Cumulative Score: 92.99
Critical Thinking Score: 820
I just recently took the exam. I am applying for an Accelerated BSN program and already have a BS in Biology. I had NO IDEA what to expect from this test. I didn't buy any study guides, I used this PDF I found
http://caring4you.net/HESIStudyRecommedations.pdf , the links in it and sparknotes. Also you can find online flashcards for the vocab.
(1) Reading Comprehension 97.83%
(2) Meaning-Word Use 100.00%
(3) Conclusions 100.00%
(4) Implications 91.67%
(5) Understanding 100.00%
(6) Grammar 98.00%
(7) Vocabulary & General Knowledge 94.00%
English Language Composite Score 96.61%
(8) Biology 96.00%
(9) Chemistry 92.00%
(10) Anatomy & Physiology 92.00%
Science Composite Score 93.33%
(11) Math 98.00%
Cumulative Score: 95.40%
Honestly, it was easier than I thought but the science portions are hard to study for since there are so few questions and a ton of information they could pull from. I have also taken the GRE and this was a cake walk compared to that. I haven't gotten accepted yet so I can't say if this was enough. Good luck everyone!
PS- It is funny I got my lowest score on the "Implications" portion of reacing comp. I remember thinking as I was taking the test that it wasn't reasonable to jump to any of the conclusions that were offered. That is my training as a scientist coming back to bite me!
I was wondering what flash cards did you use online for the vocab? and did they all come from there or they were also other vocabulary words on the test.
There are several site that allow people to post flashcards and I just googled "HESI vocab" and then printed out the list of words. They susually said they were the words from one of the study guides. I did get questions on the test that had words that weren't on the list, those were mostly medical type words and there weren't many of them.
And thanks! I will say it is a little unnerving to see your scores IMMEDIATELY and would recommend doing whatever you think the easiest sections will be first to boost your ego!
