Thank you!

Hello everyone! I was wondering if you guys could give me some information about the GCU Tucson program? What pre reqs are required to apply? If I took the hesi a year ago through another college will they accept my scores from that? One last but important question....... How much does the program cost? Thanks in advance for your help!

Congrats to everyone! This is the most exciting yet stressful times in our life but it will all be worth it in the end!

I'm sure you already know how random the test is so my advice is try to retain as much information as you can. I'm assuming you have already taken both classes otherwise it's impossible! Without giving away any of the questions I had I can tell you to know the muscles, hormones, arteries, veins, the heart, nervous system, and anatomical terms. That is all that I can remember. I had to take the test twice as well so I just tried to remember the questions I had to guess on and study that section too. Good luck!

Are you using the evolve study guide for the math section? If so you should do just fine. I used this and got a 98%. You just have to remember to reduce the fraction cause they will give you both answers but if you don't reduce it is wrong. As far as the conversions go just memorize all of them. Anatomy and physiology was my worst score as well and I went over the book, old notes, videos, and practice tests.

I logged on but it doesn't have my remediation up yet. How long does that usually take?

It may be the addition of the vocab words but I don't know why they would make you buy another book. I'm glad I didn't buy it then. Thanks! Just out of curiosity... What were the different words?

I would say a good variety of both. Does the third edition study guide have different words?

I took the Hesi today and thought I would share my experience. Here are my scores....... Math - 98% Grammar - 88% Reading - 84% Vocab - 84% A&P - 72% The test took me a total of three hours to take and let me just say it is a test I don't want to re-take. The reading was horrible. I thought it would have a passage and then ask 5-6 questions each but it wasn't. It had multiple short paragraphs that had several questions related to it but was spread out throughout the test. Really weird! Math obviously was the easiest subject for me and I was completely surprised at my score. I am usually horrible at math but this test was really basic math. If you have the evolve study guide it is exactly the same! I thought I was going to do great in vocab but there weren't many words on the test from the study guide. Some words I have never heard before therefore I couldn't even remember to tell you! Grammar was pretty basic as well and is just like the study guide. Just make sure you take the time to read the questions all the way through. Last but not least..... Anatomy and Physiology!!! Ugh........ Let me just start out with saying I received an A in each of my biology classes and was completely shocked at my score! This is the subject I reviewed the most. I went over old notes, took online practice tests, and reviewed the text. There were only 30 questions in this section unlike the 55 in the others so you have to do especially good to keep a high score. I'm hoping to re-take a few sections but from what I have been told I have to wait 90 days to do so. This puts me back a semester for starting since the program at my school is based off points. Although I passed every section I didn't not get the higher scores to get in early. Anyways....... I hope this helps!

Thank you! I'm a little more at ease knowing that you received a high score without taking the second class. Hoping that means it is not as detailed as I'm thinking it's going to be.

Thank you so much for your advice! I know that the A&P section is beyond randomized I just didn't know if the questions were detailed or not. I took both classes last semester so I'm hoping it is still fresh in my brain as well.

Thank you! Did you have to test on A & P?

So how did it go? I'm taking mine this Saturday and I don't feel ready either!! I am more worried about the Anatomy and Physiology section mainly!

Hello! I will be taking the HESI exam this Saturday and am in need of some advice. From what I have been told it is fairly basic and easy but I also know every test is different. I have been studying the Evolve study guide and searching the web for practice websites but I feel like they all have the same basic questions. I am confident that I could get an 80% in each section ( math, vocab, grammar, reading, and a&p) however, I need a 90% to get into the nursing program this fall. The main subject I'am most concerned with is Anatomy and Physiology. This section is so extensive and could have thousands of questions so how do you study for that? Any advice would help! Thank you! :)
