Macomb HESI math q's

Published

I'm getting fed up with Google, so I was hoping I could get some answers here. I have 2 questions:

1) Will the HESI have a fill-in-the-blank like the "Evolve Reach Admission Assessment Exam Review" book has? For example: how many meters are in a kilometer? _____.

2) I am very frustrated with the lack of help online for doing conversions. :banghead:There are a ton of conversion calculators, but there are hardly any mathematical formulas for figuring them out.

The mathematical formulas that I already know are: Celsius to Farenheit; cm to mm; mL to L; and L to oz.

I don't have oz to mL; grams to pounds, etc. If anyone knows the mathematical formula for those, I would appreciate it greatly. I CANNOT understand and therefore remember how many x are in y. I NEED the actual formula.

Thanks so much!:bow:

I took mine a couple of weeks ago. I remember a couple of questions that were fill in the blank. Most were multiple choice. Concentrate just on what is presented in the study guide. Did you get your NET scores from Baker yet?

It seemed like there were a lot of fill in the blank when I took it, which threw me off. If you study the guide, you should be fine.

There are 2.2 pounds in a kilogram. Then you can convert Kilograms to grams by moving the decimal point to the right 3 places.

You already know how to convert oz to L, just convert L to ML. You know more than you think just incorporate what you know to solve the problem.

John, where were you when I took my test!! It is pretty simple, but when you are sitting there taking the test, I think I made it harder than it was. I got a 96% on the math portion, the ones I missed were metric conversions.

Thanks everyone for the help! I guess I'm just freaking out because my learning disability is really hurting me in my basic math class, and is thus discouraging me in every aspect of math.

Thanks, John, for the tip about moving the decimal. Do you have any other "tricks" or ways I can remember this endless stream of numbers? :p

Jabraham, I haven't taken the NET at Baker yet. I'm only in my 1st quarter of prereqs here, so I won't be eligible to take it for some time.

toxic shock,

I pm'd you

Yeah there were a few fill in the blank ones, I just took it 2 weeks ago so its fresh in my mind.

Mostly for conversions I remember ounces were used the most. Mostly though there were a lot of like How many meters in a kilometer, etc.

How many meters in a kilometer I can figure out. What I'm having trouble with is figuring out how many kilometers are in a mile, for example.

Google "Kilometers to miles conversion". All this information is right out there for you. Google is your friend.

From google:

1 kilometer = 0.621371192 miles

I really hope I'm not suppose to memorize that, because that's just not gonna happen.
