HFCC New HESI test

I heard that hfcc has a new test to get into the nursing program, has anyone taken it yet, if so, what did it test you on? Also, did you find it difficult at all? Thanks.

I have taken the HESI twice for Macomb. They require A&P, Grammar, Vocab, Math, and Reading Comprehension. I don't find the test to be all that difficult. I do, however, recommend the study guide (HESI study guide). It's pretty much like any standardized test you've taken (SAT, ACT, etc.). They usually give you 4 hours to complete the test, but it takes most students around 2-2 1/2 hours. I got a 91.5 the first time (without having taken A&P), and a 95.5 just last week. :-) If you have the opportunity to take it once for practice, I suggest that. Your scores are good for 5 years, and they usually take the best score. However, I don't think you can take it more than once per year.

Good luck!!

Hi,

HFCC only requires the grammar, vocab, reading comprehension, and the math sections. Is each section timed, if so how long for each part? Also, for the math section, is there like a calculator on the screen that you can use?

Thanks!!
