hi everyone! my name is beckie and i am taking the hesi entrance exam in a couple of weeks. i have been studying from the guide on the hesi website but i was just wondering what i should focus on from anyone who has taken it already. i am really worried about the A&P section only because i have only had A&P 1 so far. i am trying to teach it to myself and i am really stressing out about it. any words of advice would be greatly appreciated.
I found the study guide is great with telling you what will be on the test, but you will need to reference back to your a&p book to fill things in. The study guide has no diagrams or pictures and just gives you a basic overview of what to study.

exactly...what she said;)
use your anatomy book for any reference you may feel you need. I don't remember the test going to indebt into either one of the sujects. i found that it stayed along the lines that the book presented it. I too reference back to my A&P book and my chemistry book but didn't necessarily feel like i needed that much more information, but maybe it did help. but if you reference you A&P book then you can't lose, right? so why not use it! But one thing is for sure...the guide goes over exactly the kind of stuff that will be on the test. thats why its so good. no surprises. just the way i like a test.
awesome thank you so much! i have been looking at my A&P book for like all the hormones with the endocrine system which sucks but i will know them haha. also with the circulatory system and the urinary which are hard for me. everyday it gets easier to study though. you guys have put some confidence in me!! woohoo! ill let you know how i did. o i know what i wanted to ask, how long is it?? sorry if im being a pain in the butt, im just nervous and want to do good.
Beckie, or any of you other students taking the HESI entrance exam soon: could you please come back to this thread and give us your impression of it? I have to take the Reading, Math, Bio & Chem sections of the test, but not the A&P. I would love to hear what kinds of questions are in the Bio and Chem sections, because I am pretty nervous about them!!!
