If you took HESI again or for the 1st time recently.....I have a question...

i took hesi twice. first time i scored an 88, second time a 98. i had to take math, reading, grammar, chemistry, anatomy&physiology, and vocab.

i went through the hesi A2 book so many times that i had almost all of the questions & answers memorized. so to get more practice i went to Barnes & Noble and grabbed other "nursing school entrance exam" practice books, and went through their practice problems as well. This helped SOOO much! especially for math & reading. as for grammar i ignored the "what is an adjective..." part in the HESI A2 book and skipped to "most common mistakes" and such, and also did the practice problems. i discovered that some of the example sentences are almost the same as the questions stated in the test! vocab is the hardest.... pick your answer carefully. seemed like there were always two responses that sounded correct. for math i brought with me 10 sheets of scratch paper to the test, wrote each & every question down even if it seemed super easy, wrote big & clearly, worked slowly, triple checked everything, and boxed off each problem so that i didn't get mixed up with other problems. try this. i got 100% in math.

do you only have to do four sections?

Thank You Lucidity! I have to do Reading and Math.... Those are great pointers I really appreciate it! I'm going to need so much scratch paper for math lol Yeah the grammar is tricky they always put two that sound good but only 1 is the "best" answer.
