The HESI A2 admission exam is required by many nursing schools. I scored 90% overall and here's my breakdown:
๐ Sections I took:
- Math: 94% โ practice basic algebra and dosage calculations
- Reading: 88% โ read the passages carefully, answers are in the text
- Vocabulary: 92% โ medical terminology is key
- Grammar: 90% โ basic English grammar rules
- Biology: 86% โ cell biology, genetics, basic anatomy
- Chemistry: 82% โ periodic table, chemical bonds, pH
- Anatomy: 91% โ body systems and their functions
๐ก My top tips:
1. Get the official Elsevier HESI study guide
2. Focus on medical vocabulary โ lots of nursing terms
3. Math is mostly basic โ fractions, ratios, basic algebra
4. You don't need to score 100% โ most schools need 75%+

Scored 88% on HESI! Vocabulary was harder than I expected. Medical terminology is everything.
