Anatomy and Physiology: I used the Elvesier book, YouTube videos (AnatomyGMC and Crashcourse), and PowerPoints from my school. Elvesier book is definitely not enough to cover HESI exam (in my opinion). AnatomyGMC videos are quite long..I watched it every time when I am free from work. FYI, blood and Lymphatic system videos are missing. Crashcourse..there are 47 Crashcourse videos..I started watching it 3 days before..16 videos per day. (I had a doubt about CrashCourse, but it was really helpful!) PowerPoints from my lecture..I didn't go through everything in detail..rather, I skimmed through it. I tried to focus on the big concept such as function of each system and what each organ does.

Oh! Regarding Math section..I thought everything was a multiple choice question, but there were some questions that you have to input numbers "manually." I strongly suggest you to master "rounding-up/rounding-down" For example, if the calculator gives you the answer 15.3353, then the question will ask you to round to the nearest hundredth place..so answer you have to type in should be 15.34.

This is just my personal opinion. For me, I started watching Crashcourse (I had a doubt before I watched it, but it was really helpful) 3 days before the test. There are 47 videos and I watched 16 episodes per day. Also, there is a professor teaching anatomy and biology on YouTube..I think the channel is called "AnatomyGMC" It's really really helpful. (But I believe Blood and Lymphatic system videos are missing..FYI)

Great post! I took the HESI test on Monday as well. I was going to post something like this..but you covered it all! I would like to add some under this post if you don't mind. My school requires Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary, Grammar, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, and Anatomy/Physiology. My little advice would be take the subject that you are good at very at the beginning. That will give you some time to get used to the computer and the test format. Also, take a pair of earplugs..especially when other people use the built-in calculator for math questions, that could be disturbing..big time. (I asked the proctor if it is okay to use it..) Built-in calculator is "okay"..but it's not as responsive as I excepted. If you click numbers too fast, the calculator won't input the numbers correctly. For example, if you have a number 4567, click 4 and wait a half second..then click 5 and so on..otherwise..the number that you put in would be quite different.. If I can think of more tips, I will add some more later on!
