Hey! I scored a 98% on the math, and a 92% overall on the HESI. If it helps anyone, I took the A2 (D version) I am not sure if that is more watered down, or what it means, but I remember that. Math was originally my biggest worry, but DO NOT sweat it. The bulk of questions are +-×÷ of fractions and ratio:proportions. Be careful though, some fraction questions were presented in a set like 3, for example 2/3 + 5/8 + 1/2, so make sure you are comfortable handling an extra fraction in the mix. Aside from that, if you use the Elsevier HESI 4th Edition study book, you will overstudy. I only had 3 unit conversion questions, I had no questions about celcius to fahrenheit. I did have a few word problems, but most of them fairly basic, you just have to be able to identify which operation to choose to perform. Maybe 5-10 of the problems were fill in, so you did not have the luxury of multiple choice. For me, the areas that need most studying are grammar and reading comprehension. The vocabulary section is VERY close to what appears in the study book. If you know those words, you will be fine.

Hey! How did today turn out for you?

Hello all! I am a newbie here, but am very encouraged to reach out to a new community as I embark on this new journey of nursing school. My HESI A2 examination is scheduled for 1/31/17, and I am incredibly nervous as there is obviously much at stake. I have been studying for several weeks, but remain uncomfortable in the sense that I feel overwhelmed and am lacking a firm grasp of some of the topics. I only have to take the mathematics and english portions and am just seeking some guidance. At the heart of the matter, studying for the english portions has frustrated me the most because I find as I take practice exams from several books I borrowed from the library, many of the possible answers could be based on an individual's perception or opinion. I have even encountered a few study books that suggest a particular selection may be correct, but it was not the BEST answer. These potential issues seem to creep up mostly on my review of vocabulary or reading comprehension. In my view, I would rather be responsible to take the biology and AP portions of this exam, as those questions and answers are absolute, and do not leave the door open for interpretation or argument from a test-taker that is too analytical and reads into everything (me 😉) Lastly, I am studying from the Elsevier HESI Admission Assessment Exam Review 4th Edition, Kaplan Nursing School Entrance Exams 7th Edition, and Barron's Nursing School Entrance Exams 5th Edition. (The last 2 books being the ones giving me headaches and causing much of the second guessing) Sorry for the long 1st post! Please walk me off the ledge 😊

I am also taking the HESI A2 on the 31st. I am incredibly nervous, but optimistic. I will send vibes your way. Good luck!
