HESI test at TMCC....HELP!!

kjsquared · Jan 11, 2010

Hi there,

How did your HESI go?

I took mine in Fall 2008, and there was no chemistry or physics. Everything else wasn't too bad, but I definately studied before the exam with the study guide for atleast a month AND I took it twice.

Good luck to you!

You're on your way! Congrats! :anpom:

Are you applying to the Fall 2010 class?

I am....fingers crossed:) :) I wasn't even considering TMCC until a few weeks ago so I had to throw everything together pretty fast. But now it's out of my hands. Are you in the Spring 2010 program?

Yes. I made it in. :yeah:

The only challenge that I've encountered so far is that the letters went out on Jan 4 - was received on Jan 5 - and had to respond no later than 5 pm on Jan 6th - with orientation beginning on Jan 14th, 15th, and 20th! :eek:

Talk about a maddening week! I feel like I already need a vacation and class has not even started yet! LOL

I don't know what your points are with your combined GPA and HESI A2 exam, but I managed somewhere between a 7.3 and 7.4. So, if you've got something close, your acceptance should be a shoo-in!

Are you planning on taking any additional classes? I would have taken nutrition last semester but I needed a little downtime.

Congrats on passing the exam :yeah:I am taking the exam on the 20th and I only had like two weeks to study. Any pointers that you could give??

My advice is do NOT take any additional classes unless you absolutely have to (ie: english 101, etc..). The 3 nursing classes required in the first semester is definitely enough to keep you busy and stressed

MsAshley,

This is how I studied for the HESI A2 exam (please refer to my other post): https://allnurses.com/pre-nursing-student/hesi-a2-exam-422828.html#post3929617.

This worked really well for me (though it was a bit of overkill).

Additionally, don't be too concerned about the time allotted for the exam. You are given something like six hours and you have as much time as you need to take each exam. So, as long as you complete the entire exam within the specified timeframe, you're golden!

Good luck and let us know how you do on the exam!

I studied with the Evolve study guide. This was amazing for the math, vocab, reading and grammer sections....very highly recomend it for these sections!!!.... but it didn't help with the A&P or Biology sections. You basically just need to know your sciences because the questions are very random. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask:)
