Hi,I am going to be taking the HESI A2 entrance/admission exam. Can you tell me about it.

Published

I will be taking the HESI A2 exam in a month. I only have to take vocab,reading comprehension, grammar, and math. I am worried especially on vocab. Did anyone take it recently and remember a couple of words that we're on the test especially ones who were not in the HESI review book. Can you tell me about the other sections as well?

Hi there! I actually just took my HESI exam last week! Unfortunately, I do not remember any of the words that I was asked on the test. However, I do remember there being some words that I studied in the HESI review books! A little less than half of the questions were from the review books. Here is a Quizlet, that I found, that contains all the words from two different review books and from the app, PocketPrep (Hesi Vocabulary a2 Flashcards | Quizlet). I found it super useful! I would also study a couple synonyms for each word, just to be safe. There was also some medical terminology within the vocab section. I know for one of those ones I had to take my best guess. Sometimes they'll put the word into a sentence, so it'll make it easier to define the word.

Reading comprehension was one of my lowest scores, but I also rushed through it because I was short on time. The passages were a lot shorter than I expected, and there can be at least 3-5 questions per passage. Some questions will ask to define a certain word, state the main idea, figure out what's fact versus opinion, and so on. Just take lots of practice tests, and you will be good to go!

I found grammar to be pretty straightforward. Just make sure to review the basics: verbs, adverbs, adjectives, punctuation, etc. I got a lot of questions that asked which sentence was grammatically correct, or which sentence makes the most sense. I also got questions that asked to fill the rest of the sentence in with the choice that makes the most sense. Overall, I found this section to be very easy!

For the math section, just review basic math. Make sure to review conversions, ratios, fractions, military time, and roman numerals. You are provided with scratch paper and a basic calculator, so you'll be all set! I made this Quizlet for the required conversions (Conversions Flashcards | Quizlet). I hope all of this helps!
