Retaking hesi entrance exam next month

Published

this is my last try. my first exam was 75% and my second was 79%.

I really want to pass the entrance exam so bad. The exams for me are reading, vocabulary, math, and grammers.

I was wondering what is the best book to get or to buy to study.

The book i used for my last two exams were HESI admission assessment exam review 3rd edition that was provided by west coast university. Which didn't even help me that much especially the vocabulary and reading. Math I did really good since i like math.

so please help me out! Im really stressed out about the entrance exam.

I used a book from the nursing library, if I remember correctly it was the same that you have mentioned above. I guess my question to you is what score to you need? I am surprised that a 79% is not good enough :(

I was a bit better I think in the mid 80's but had no problems with acceptance in a very competitive environment as all my pre-requisites were A's.

Good luck, and be positive as you will do it! You have already improving between the first and the second time.

Alright on top of knowing all of the vocab from that book you NEED to know the words listed on this site. A lot of these words were on my test. http://www.uiw.edu/nursing/documents/HESI-TopicsofStudy-2012.pdf

Next this game for the vocab helped me more than anything else. It has all the words from the book and its put in a multiple choice game. Match Results - HESI A2 - Vocabulary (Evolve Reach A2 Exam Review, 2nd Ed.) | Word Dynamo

Good Luck!
