Pass the HESI A2 entrance exam on your first attempt and begin your nursing career with confidence.
The HESI Admission Assessment Exam, commonly referred to as the HESI A2, is a nursing school entrance exam used to assess the academic readiness of prospective students. Administered by Elsevier, the HESI A2 evaluates a candidate’s knowledge in various subjects, including reading comprehension, mathematics, science, and English language skills. Depending on the specific requirements of the nursing program, it may also include sections on anatomy and physiology, critical thinking, and learning styles.
The exam is composed of multiple sections, each containing 25–50 questions. The total number of questions and the time allowed can vary depending on the program, but the test typically takes around four hours to complete. Nursing programs use the HESI A2 scores to determine a candidate’s suitability for admission, with many schools requiring a minimum score to be considered. The test also serves as a predictor of a student’s success in nursing school, making it an essential step in the application process.
To prepare for the HESI A2, candidates should focus on reviewing the specific subjects covered by the exam, practicing with sample questions, and taking practice tests to build familiarity with the test format. Effective preparation is essential for achieving a competitive score, which is valid for up to two years, depending on the nursing program’s policies.
