HESI math

Hey guys..I need some advice. I have been studying for the math portion of the exam really hard. I know how to do fractions, ratios, percentages, and decimals. I am just having a hard time with word problems. For anyone who took the exam, was there a lot of word problems? Im very frustrated and any advice would help.

thanks

What do you mean? I remember I took the HESI on the computer at a test proctoring site at my university. It wasn't on paper. I think most of the answers are selected through multiple choice, but it was 1 1/2 years when I took it, so I would double check. Or somebody else can answer.

There might be a study-book which would show what it looks like. You might be able to look for websites in the search engine for HESI math examples, too, to know what to expect. It's basically simple math with little advanced math on it. It seemed slightly easier than the TEAS to me. You can also use scratch paper, I think, but you have to turn it in afterwards to the test proctors. They'll also ask for ID.

Okay thanks for the relief. Because some of the word problems In the evolve book were kind of confusing which worried me. But thanks 😊

For math I would say focus more on fractions. I was in a time crunch so I was trying to go as fast as possible and I missed two of the fractions questions. Just practice being fast at them because you don't have that much time. I was nervous to use the calculator(I don't trust others calculators) hahaha. So I was trying to work them all out by hand. Don't do that ... Haha. Use the calculator and you'll zoom through math!
