hello everyone, i love that i found this site and i think everyone here helping are awesome. i have been out of high school a very very long time ago and i have no college experience. i am starting my "second career" schooling as a registered nurse. i am barely beginning my nursing schooling. i'm in phoenix, az. and am planning on attendeding apollo college for thier 2 year reg. nurse degree. so they told me the first thing i need to do is take the hesi a2 test and the cpat test. they say the hesi is testing on math, reading comprehension and vocabulary. they told me to go online and find free study guides. well i've tried finding them but i have come up empty handed. mostly i get directed to a study guide to buy published by mometrix media llc called cpat secrets study guide. i don't know if this is what i should be getting. i have no idea if it will help me for my test or will it just help me out of my $$$. and for the hesi they have a study guide for it as well. people keep telling me i shouldn't have to buy it online it's a waste of money and that i can get the study guides for free. but they cant say where these are. i've read other posts here for people asking about "what's on" the hesi test, the answers allot of time just say get the study guide, study it, the questions are in the guide. soooo i guess my main question is, where do i get the right study guide that is recommended for the hesi and the cpat. thank you for any help or info you'd send me. very appreciated.
