Is it still the HESI?

If so, I believe I have a file on my laptop still. Let me know, I'd be happy to send it to you.

Is this to get into nursing school? Or to get your license?

To get into University of Indianapolis' ASN nursing program. I take the test in March and want a leg up on studying. :)

okay. in that case the Hesi and Kaplan are two separate exams that have two different study guides. (for the NCLEX, i think the test is made by Hesi and called something else...) anyway, i took the Hesi for nursing school. There are also Barrons and the Teas nursing school exams. My Barnes and Noble has the study guides for all four of these nursing tests, and since they are all somewhat similar but only have 1 study guide each, I paged through all of them several times, taking each practice test. Check out your Barnes and Noble and see what they have! The extra practice helps.

Kaplan has one review book that is specific to the exam, but other nursing school entrance exam prep materials may be helpful.

The Kaplan book is a great reflection of the Kaplan Nursing School Entrance Exam, especially for the Math and Reading sections. The science section was heavy on A&P.

I took the TEAS V several months after taking the Kaplan Exam and used the McGraw-Hill and Kaplan books. I thought McGraw-Hill was a good book and would recommend it for extra practice. It is pretty similar to the Kaplan book with a less-detailed Science Review. The two books are pretty similar, so if you're looking for an additional resource to use, I'd definitely consider the McGraw-Hill book.

It's definitely not the TEAS. The old school that I was attending did give the TEAS but U of I does the Kaplan or some version of it. This is the thing I can't get a straight answer from the college on. So, from what I'm gathering, there is only one Kaplan Nursing Entrance Exam?? There aren't any different names for it? If that is the case, I have seen a type of Kaplan study guide that's around $20 and I'm assuming that this is the right one.

From what I know, there is only one Kaplan Nursing School Entrance Exam, and there is only one prep book published by Kaplan for that exam. I paid around $20 for the book, and it was the ONLY book I used when I studied for the Kaplan test. http://www.amazon.com/Kaplan-Nursing-School-Entrance-Exams/dp/1419550349/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1322714493&sr=8-2
