HESI Pharm section [1st semester]

[Forgive me if this isn't in the right subforum. It isn't an entrance exam, and it isn't really an exit exam either, so I didn't know if should go there anyway. Please feel free to move it, moderators, if necessary!]

Hello all!

My classmates and I are preparing to take our Introduction to Pharmacology final soon, and we were trying to determine how to go about studying for it. We were told we would be taking the HESI, but not much else. I'm not sure if the HESI is usually one big test like the TEAS, but this test is listed as separate tests for each of our classes. (Pharmacology HESI, Fundamentals HESI, Health Assessment HESI)

I looked up previous HESI threads, but I just wanted to see if it made a difference that our test would be given after taking only Introduction to Pharmacology vs an exit exam at the end of our nursing curriculum. Is it possible that we would get questions that we otherwise wouldn't know until after Med-Surg or Psych?

Please, any advice on what to concentrate on would be appreciated, as well as any experiences about the types of questions (more calculations, more drug questions, etc.) we might encounter. Thank you!
