Hesi grammar?

[kgheen09]

I take the HESI entrance exam this thursday. My friend won't give me back my study guide so im ******. I've read it a couple times but i wanted to review the grammer. Besides parts of speech, what other grammar is on there? i really need your guys help!!

Don't worry, hon, you aren't screwed. :)

The HESI uses basic grammar rules. I didn't even buy a guide, and still ended up with a 93 for that section! My secret? Use Youtube to find old SchoolHouse Rock videos! School House Rock was a childrens short learning program during saturday morning cartoons years ago. (Conjunction junction! What's your function!)

Those cute, easy little songs REALLY help you remember grade school grammar. And that's really all the HESI tests on you. You'll be FINE! Just relax, and focus. Review those grammar songs, and you'll dominate that test!

Good luck!!!

This website has a pretty good list of stuff that will be covered on the test. Don't buy the guide, just go by the list near the bottom of the page.

I just tried the "slow download." You just let the timer run until it allows you to download.

That was a link that I found on this board for d/l a generic nursing en trance exam guide. The grammar is the same whether it's HESI, TEAS, NLN PAX, or whatever. I don't know why people freak out over the English. By the time you get to HS graduate age, you probably either know it or you don't. It's not as if there have been huge innovations in grammar in the past 100 years or so, lol. It just baffles me why students worry about that part of the test.

Foreverlearner2010, aww thanks, you really made my feel less worried and made my confidence go up=))) and thank you for the link.

Streamline2010, thank you for the link!!

and THANK YOU both for actually replying!!! I posted a post like this earlier but no one replied. Thanks for caring:)

You're welcome. :)

And like I said, just relax! And eat a good breakfast the day of the test. Its a LOOOONG day.

I forgot to give you this hint, too...

Take the list from the link I gave you, and go line by line, copy/pasting each item into the youtube search engine. Add the school house rock to the search, and voila!

I actually did that with the math portion of the test, too. Google-ed some GREAT 4th and 5th grade math sites that really helped me remember those basics. (Wish they had those sites when I was a kid! lol!)

Good luck!!

Good luck! :-) Really, it's a reasonable test. Just keep track of the time, because the test is timed and you should finish as many questions as possible.

Any hints about vocabulary part?

[Streamline2010]

We're not allowed to give specific questions per forum's rules. HESi, TEAS, NLN PAX: all have very similar questions and content for the vocabulary and the grammar.

Soooooo??? How's it go, kgheen09???
