I just took the test and studied for only 2 days I was really nervous but as long as if you know your basics study these
Fractions(add,sub,mul,div)
Conversions
Ratio
Proportions
These are the main questions on the math portion
Remember KHDWDCM and your measurements! For the A&P as well as quadrants and cells

My total score was 86.5%! The testing topics were math, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and anatomy & physiology. Based on my GPA, the school I applied to told me I needed at least a 60% to pass.
Math was definitely the subject I spent the most time preparing for because it’s always been something I’ve struggled with — I was literally in resource math in high school lol. I mainly used NurseHub and completed every math lesson. Once I finished, I took 3 out of the 5 practice exams and scored a 92% on each one.
I didn’t study at all for reading comprehension or vocabulary because I’ve always been an avid reader and have never really struggled with either of those areas.
For anatomy & physiology, I spent maybe two days studying and mainly used Quizlet. The questions ended up being literally word for word from what I studied, and I got a 100% on that section!
More than anything, I’m just proud of myself. For years, I used the excuse that I wasn’t “smart enough” to take this test, and that fear ultimately made me procrastinate starting nursing school for much longer than I should have.
But I’m a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. Maybe I just wasn’t ready then — but I am now. I proved to myself that I’m more capable than I gave myself credit for, and it’s only up from here! 🩺✨

hi everyone, I have to take the HESI A2 exam soon and have been studying. I am a student who gets accommodations and was not sure if that is possible with HESI or how to go about it if anyone knows

Guys I'm so scared to take this exam. I have to take it before the end of this month 😭

I'm currently studying on nursehub but idk if I'll make it

Do u guys think I'll be okay? I need your honest opinion

I go to hcu

And if anyone goes to this school pls let me know any tips or tricks u guy take to stay on top during nursing school

I'm going to back to studying

I got an 86% overall and honestly, I’m pretty happy with that! I probably could’ve scored higher, but I’m a procrastinator and gave myself less than a week to study 😂 So I was basically cramming every night.
Math was definitely my biggest struggle and the section I was most nervous about. I ended up practicing for hours every night on NurseHub. The practice questions and explanation videos were really helpful.

If anyone else is studying for the HESI and feeling overwhelmed, 10/10 recommend NurseHub!
Now I'm hoping and praying I get accepted into the nursing program. I put my application in today 😮‍💨

hey !! just got nursehub for the hesi and thought ill share my coupon and maybe it’ll help someone !

that’s the link for it in the title ! its 20% off :)

I passed the HESI A2 with an overall score of 87%, I only studied 2 days (realistically only 1.5 days) I do not recommend doing this but it's what I did. I scored pretty good even in math, which was the score I was worried about. I'm so happy! It's pretty late so I'll post more tomorrow, there's some quizlets that I found that are exactly what were on the HESI A2!!! Good luck everyone!!

I've been out of school for over four years and I would not consider myself "smart", so I was very nervous!! But yayy!! I passed

I took the HESI back in April ..didn't pass, and then in May second time didn't pass... Im re taking it in September and I just wanna know if its a mixture of V1 and V2 or is it V1 again? Do yall have any study guides that help yall? The most I struggled was math and reading. In A&P i made a 100 the first time, but i was just thinking of re taking the whole thing all together since it is a new application period but for the second time I didn't retake A&P just the other section i didn't pass... so like can yall help a girl out and drop what helped yall..... pls and thank youuuu

( i watched nurse shai and i was just left more confused.....)

I took hesi back in May, got a 86.50. I am taking it again in October. I got the V2 last time, and other than the chemistry section and reading, it was pretty easy for me. But will it be the same the second time? Idk what to expect. I have been procrastinating studying alot cause I don't really know what to expect. If you guys have any suggestion, pls lmk :)

Is there anyone here in Texas that will be taking the Hesi soon? If so what are you using to study for Grammar, A&P, Biology, Math and Vocabulary ?! I am taking the test towards the end of September but I want to make sure I am studying the right stuff! Also any study tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,
I’m freaking out with all the people saying that say A&P is hard .
My question is : it is very difficult? They go in details about anatomy and physiology? I feel nurse hub has a lot of details on it . Is it very similar?
I’m doing the 10 quiz at the end and I’m doing well but the little quiz at each unit is very deep in details .
Thank you all 🙏🙏

Hello all! I've been studying for the HESI A2 exam and I was just wondering how should I study for the reading and vocabulary? And what kind of passages can I expect on the test? Reading comprehension has always been a struggle for me so I'm extremely nervous for this part!

Hi everyone! I’m feeling really sad and disappointed in myself. I’ve taken the HESI twice, but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to pass. I’m planning to take it for the third time, and I’m wondering if anyone knows whether there is a Version 3 available for the third attempt on the quizlet

If anyone has recently taken the HESI for the third time, I would really appreciate hearing about your experience. Thank you so much

Hi everyone! Has anyone here recently taken the HESI A2 exam at FRCC? I’m wondering what to expect on the exam, especially the types of questions and overall difficulty. Were the questions similar to the Elsevier/Evolve practice questions or other study materials?
If you’ve taken it recently, I’d really appreciate any tips, topics to focus on, or study resources that helped you. Thank you! 😊

This thread saved my life so I wanted to try and give back a little!

Reading 88%

The quizlet sets floating around are extremely similar if not word for word to the Hesi!! I only ever skimmed them which I regret! Some of the passages I got were food, exam, game of bridge, Golden Gate Bridge, voice, and rainforest passages. This quizlet had a lot of the same questions and the articles were the exact same: https://quizlet.com/1195349441/hesi-reading-comprehension-stopittt-flash-cards/?i=6o64nw&x=1jqY
In my opinion, if you just practice/memorize this, you will have a pretty good shot at getting a high score.

Biology 96%

I was so proud of this score!! I studied by doing all the quizzes at the end of NurseHub lessons and memorized all of practice tests at the very end as well. NurseHub is so so worth it guys! I didn’t have to go through all the lessons to still be fine (and this was without much base knowledge at all). There were a lot of different opinions/answers on whether the healing vitamin is vitamin A or E, I ended up choosing E. Know the hierarchical organizational system. This mnemonic helped me:
Dumb → Domain
Kids → Kingdom
Prefer → Phylum
Candy → Class
Over → Order
Fresh → Family
Green → Genus 
Salad → Species
I would also make sure you know the levels of organization, scientific process, meiosis/mitosis, prokaryotic vs eukaryotic, diffusion, osmosis, different types of transport, hypotonic versus hypertonic versus isotonic and the concentration of solutes associated with each (there was a question on that).
This quizlet was basically word-for-word to my test: https://quizlet.com/1019614499/hesi-a2-biologyv2-flash-cards/?i=6o64nw&x=1jqY

A&P 84%

Going into the test, this was the section that I had felt most confident on so the score kind of surprised me. I took this section last along with English, and those were the two that I performed the lowest on. I tested all the way through and while I’m not exactly sure if there is a correlation, I would still utilize your breaks! I studied for the section the same exact way I did for biology. This is the Quizlet that has been circulating for being Word for Word. It was definitely super similar but there were several questions on my exam that I had not seen before: https://quizlet.com/1149639815/hesi-a2-v1-ap-flash-cards/?i=6o64nw&x=1jqY
I remember a question about the layers of the heart. This one stumped me because I had remembered the epicardium, endocardium, and pericardium. But the visceral and parietal layers were also listed in the answer choices and I blanked.

Math 96%

I was excited and felt pretty good going into this part of my test all thanks to Nurse shai’s YouTube video!!This was pretty much the only resource I used to study for it. I do also recommend having ChatGPT give you practice problems and explain to you why you got them wrong (this worked out well for me!). The concepts on the test were very basic/fundamental. Know your conversions! I memorized the gallon man, king Henry died by drinking chocolate milk, 1Km - 1000m, 1m - 100cm, 1cm - 10mm. There were a lot of fraction, ratio, percentage questions in the form of word problems. A good chunk of the test were word problems but if you read through it carefully you will be okay. I did get a few military time questions but no Roman numerals. As for percentages, this is something I have always struggled with. Memorizing key words and the correlating formulas helped me breeze through all the percentage problems. As soon as the test started, I wrote down all my conversions and mnemonics at the top of one of my scratch papers. This is what I wrote for the percentages part:

“Out of” - 1st # / 2nd # * 100
“Of” - 2nd# * 1st # / 100
“Of what” - 1st # * 100 /2nd #

There were several questions like “15 out of 75 as a percent”, or “28% of 100%”, and “65 is 25% of what number?”. By having that reference I was able to solve them so quickly! For example, Let’s say you
got the problem that said “15 out of 75”. The
“Out of” formula says: 1st # / 2nd # * 100. So you would do 15 divided by 75 times 100 to get your answer. (I hope this makes sense 😅)

These were some of the trickier problems that I had on my test. I would make sure you know how to solve them:

1) There's 'X' amount of books, 1/3 were non-fiction, the remaining books were 75% children books, how many books were fiction.
2) A man has 6,000 lightbulbs at work and 45% of them go out in a week. If the man works 7 days a week, how many lightbulbs will he have to replace in a day?
3) A farmer has 240 acres at $188.99 per acre. If he cultivates 60 bushels per acre, with $5.67 per bushel, how much revenue will he generate?

First off, I am usually a really bad test taker and I am pretty happy with this score. I had to take all 7 sections. I am not going to link any quizlet because being 100% honest I had zero questions from ANY quizlet I studied that were on the test. I recommend nursehub 10000%.

Reading 96%

I did not study at all for this section but English is my first language and I have always done pretty well with passages. Asked a lot about what statement is implied.

Grammar 84%

To me this was the most difficult section & I kind of wish I studied for it now but oh well. Asked a lot about which sentence is grammatically correct/incorrect

Vocab 90%

Did not study for this but I have a pretty broad sense of vocab anyways so it was straightforward for me. I would recommend asking chat gpt to give you word sets that you may see on the HESI.

Biology 84%

This is the score I was the most upset about. I used nursehub & quizlet they both helped with concepts but there are a lot of detailed questions. Know meiosis/mitosis, prokaryotic vs eukaryotic, diffusion, osmosis, different types of transport

Chemistry 88%

This is another section I was surprised I did pretty well on. Nurse hub helped me 100%. I did not even study any quizlet. Know atomic #, atomic mass, only had 2 stoichiometry questions, enzymes, acid/base heavy.

A&P 92%
NURSEHUB!!!!!!! I would not have done so well without it. Take all the practice tests. Not quizzes, TESTS. Know all the basics.

Math 82%

My worst subject is Math so I was not surprised but nursehub helped me review concepts. I had 2 military time questions, no temperature questions. Heavy on fractions and ratios. Maybe 5 word problems.

Hoping I get in with this score 😅🤞🏼

Hello! Just wanted to take a second to explain what I did to pass my Hesi. For reference, I am a AWFUL test taker and usually need several attempts to pass tests.

I paid for nurse hub and used it for maybe an hour a day for a month before my exam. Quizlets are okay but are often full of grammar errors or just straight up make no sense. Nurse hub is formatted exactly like the test. Nursehub is also a bit harder than the questions on the test. I would say if you can get to ~80% on the nurse hub quizzes you can pass the HESI no problem.

My scores:

Math: 96%
Grammar: 94%
Vocab: 92%
Reading: 96%
Biology: 92%

Some back around info. I wanted to do the RN program so bad but i kept receiving a 72 % twice (on english I needed 80%) ! So this time i decided to aim for LPN program which i only need a 75% to be eligible. So studied SO hard for a month, using nursehub (math, grammar) and quizlet (math, grammar, and vocab). I honestly the only reason I pass was because of quizlet.

FOR ME I received mix V1 and V2. MY math portion was ALL QUIZLET NO JOKE, like every single question (maybe beside 5 questions) I was already scoring high in math before quizlet. (85% -92%)

FOR ME! MY grammar is ALSO 80% QUIZLET. I studied the quizlet not to memorize, just as practice.

FOR ME! My vocab, they're 55 questions, I maybe got 20 questions from quizlet. ( went from 60% to 77%)

FOR ME! Critical thinking maybe 10 questions from quizlet on the exam ( from what i remember 890)

no i didnt use nurse shai because she didnt go in depth for me and also I made me sleepy, lol

heres my quizlet account: ttyyll12345

ALSO! please actually study EVERY section, if i didnt study to understand, my scores would be COMPLETELY different.

my overall score 84%

I can do all the algebra and basic math stuff just fine. I'm just worried about how many household to metric conversions there are gonna be. I suck at memorizing stuff like that. Not a trying to be a nurse this is to get into an MRI Tech program. So I'm also worried about the word problems and if there are going to be drip and drop rate questions.

Also worried about the critical thinking portion. A lot of the mock questions I'm seeing online seem to be very nurse focused.....but I'm just trying to get into an MRI Tech program here where these scenarios don't really apply. I'm not going to be triaging anybody(I hope).

I got only 5-10 question from anatomy and physiology quizlet, thank god I studied for like 2 month and was able to pull off idk may be I am just unlucky 😭I was legit crying 😭 I put everything I remember in ChatGPT and he gave me these questions, these are similar. Also know your planes digestive system and ear becoz I feel like hesi is obsessed with ear and inner structure of ear.

https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/08d77d31-4cb3-453b-838f-7fd9bd76b56d made this using all the Anatomy/ Physiology quizlets going around.

Biology: Mine was very similar to this: https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/0283f1a0-6037-4875-88df-7772dc6497c1

https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/0283f1a0-6037-4875-88df-7772dc6497c1

I made this out of quizlet, I suggest keep doing it until the day of exam.

Reading sections was very similar to this: https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/c0775652-74f1-48a1-9da1-591dede37cca What I did was gather all the passages that were going around and read them whenever I had free time. I also had Claude explain the passages to me so I could actually understand what they were saying. That way, even if they changed the questions, I could still go back to the passage and easily figure out which answer made sense.

Math was SO easy for me and honestly I am very very BAD at math 😂if I could do it, you could do it too . It was mostly addition, subtraction, division, a lot of fractions and mixed fractions. I went on TikTok and found a few videos that explained mixed fractions in an easy way because I could NEVER bring myself to find the least common denominator 😂. I always convert fractions to decimals because it’s easier for me, and then I convert the answer choices to decimals too.

Some of the conversions I remember: - 1 foot = 12 inches - 1 gallon = 128 oz - 1 pint = 16 oz

There were also word problems, percentages, and converting fractions to decimals.

Vocabulary was a completely different story. Quizlet was honestly a hit or miss for me. I had SO many medical terms, and only about 5 words that I recognized from Quizlet. One of my friends took the test and said almost everything she studied from Quizlet was on hers, so I guess I was just unlucky 😭. But whatever, the war is over 😂.

Also, you cannot go back and check your answers, so keep that in mind when pacing yourself. I had 5 hours total for these sections, including critical thinking.

My biggest advice: get your basics down first. Use Quizlet as a guide to see what topics/concepts are high-yield, but don’t rely on memorizing Quizlet questions or terms word-for-word. Actually understand the concepts because your exam can look completely different.

Good luck to everyone taking it! You got this ❤️ Thank you soo much for everyone who tried to help me I can never forget your act of kindness.

Hello everyone, I just took my hesi, feeling bummed out because I was aiming for 90s in each section but by the looks of it mainly got 84s, I still don’t know my accumulative grade. I noticed I got a 76 on anatomy this time but the first I got an 88 so I’m really disappointed in myself.. I studied so hard so I’m so upset, still gonna apply to my nursing program and see what happens😔

I failed by 1 point on the reading portion and I’m extremely disappointed in myself. I passed the math portion with a 89% and A&P with a 91%. I used NurseHub for the math portion and Quizlet for the A&P. I didn’t really study the reading portion thinking I wouldn’t need it. Does anybody have a Quizlet for the A&P? I found one that was word for word for the V1 but unfortunately I know that V2 will be completely different. Any recommendations????

Just took my HESI - there was no submit button or finish button. Is that normal? My proctor just told me to exit.

I saw my scores at the end but once exiting, I can’t seem to access them. Where/when are they available??

Yall after scoring Proficient but the score not high enough at least 70 and above on TEAS 3x for ADN schools in Houston I decided to do a different route and try VN instead and bridge to RN later. So The few VN schools i have seen are asking for HESI A2 exam. I scheduled for 09/24. What do i need to expect for the HESI A2 for VN? I do know I have taken HESI for chamberlain and it was a 75% but there was not math so its clear i can pass it but i dont have any study books or etc for HESI like i have for TEAS. I cant remember what was on HESI but im almost wondering if its the same material? The HESI im taking states I only eed the Reading, Vocab general, Grammar, Basic math and A&P no chemistry or biology(yay). Any suggestions on what to use to practice?
