I am an LPN student preparing to take the hesi exams.Any suggestion for text books that I need to purchase.Your advice and contribution will be greatly appreciated.Thank u.

When I took the HESI, there was Reading, Vocab, and Math. I hear that as of July 1st they are adding Grammar. For the Reading section, make sure to read the questions VERY carefully. I have a BA in Language Arts/Education and still found the questions to be challenging. For Math, know fractions (adding, subtracting, dividing, multiplying), know how to convert fractions to percents, kilograms to grams, kilometers to meters, basic household measurements (ounces, cups, pints, liters), and for the vocab, there were some medical terms on there as well as words with more than one meaning (similies) and you had to choose which way it was intended within the sentence they gave. There is a study guide available, which I did not use. I have heard it is downloadable online if you think you want to use it. Otherwise, take the test and see how you do. If you fail a section, you can always go back and take that one over (double check with your colleges rules on this). Good Luck!!!
