What to study for the HESI Entrance exam?

Published

I'm taking the HESI entrance exam at Broward College Jan. 8, 2016 and was wondering if anybody had any tips regarding Anatomy and the math subjects?

For anatomy are there any pictures or diagrams?

Is the whole exam multiple choice, even the math?

Is it easier than what people make it out to seem?

I'm nervous!!

The HESI was easier that what I expected it to be. I made an overall score of 93 on it and only started studying about 2 days before taking the test. I would recommend going over every body system and getting a general idea of each for the A&P section. I don't remember there being any pictures or diagrams in the A&P section, it was all multiple choice questions. As for math, know your conversions, ratios, and fractions.

I rented HESI Admission Assessment Review 3rd Edition from Amazon. It goes over everything you will encounter on the test and offers practice tests at the end. I also used HESI A2 Secrets Study Guide by Mometrix. My school library had that one available. It offers practice tests too.

Good luck on your test.

I can't remember anything specific, I took the test back in July. Most HESI study guides give a conversion chart, I memorized them. Examples would be converting kilograms to pounds or ounces to milliliters.
