Outscore the HESI A2 and get into Nursing School this October.

This module is built for the HESI Admission Assessment, commonly called the HESI A2. It is intended for nursing and healthcare-program applicants, not the HESI specialty or exit exams taken later in school.

The course covers Math, Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary, Grammar, Anatomy & Physiology, and Biology. Always match your study plan to the subject list your own programme publishes.

No. Elsevier offers separate HESI A2 academic exams and each program decides which ones applicants must complete. Two applicants to different schools can sit completely different exams, so confirm your section list with admissions before you plan anything.

There is no single duration, because schools select different subject combinations and set their own appointment length. Ask your testing office which sections you will take and how much total time is allowed.

There is no universal total. The number depends entirely on how many sections your program assigns. Any site quoting one fixed figure is describing one school’s configuration, not the exam.

Not currently. If your program requires Chemistry or Physics, you will need a separate resource for those sections, and it is worth confirming the requirement early.

Some programs include a Critical Thinking exam and non-academic components such as a learning-style or personality profile. Those are not academic-content sections and are not covered here. Ask whether yours count toward admission.

Neither is reliably harder. Applicants who are stronger in reading often find the A2’s science sections tougher, and the reverse is common too. If your school accepts both, choose based on which section list plays to your strengths.

A good score is one that meets your program’s minimum and compares well with its applicant pool. Schools set different overall and subject-level targets, so a number quoted on a forum tells you nothing about your application.

No. There is no national HESI A2 pass mark. Each program publishes its own minimum, and many set a minimum per section as well as an overall figure.

The A2 reports a percentage for each academic exam you complete. A composite is generally the average of the exams your program assigned, but your school decides how it uses that result and whether section minimums apply on top.

Usually not. Sections are reported individually, so a strong Reading result does not rescue a weak Math one unless your program explicitly says it does. Assume every required section has to clear the bar on its own.

Usually yes, but waiting periods and attempt limits are school-specific and some programs allow only one attempt per admission cycle. Verify the policy before you book, because using up an attempt unprepared is expensive.

Acceptance windows are set by individual programs, not by one universal HESI rule. Check how recent your score must be for the cycle you plan to apply in before you sit the exam early.

Not necessarily. Some programs take the most recent score, some take the highest, and some average attempts. Ask which rule yours uses before deciding a retake is worth it.

Confirm the exact sections your program requires, then take a baseline in each one. Rank your subjects by score and give most of your remaining time to the bottom two.

Your baseline, required subjects and test date should drive the schedule. Four to six consistent weeks works for many applicants, but a low baseline or a long subject list will take longer.

Unlikely, and it is a costly way to find out. Anatomy & Physiology and Math both reward recall and practice, and most programs limit how often you can retake. Sit a baseline set first and let the result decide how much time you need.

Only if your baseline is already close to your program’s minimum. A week is enough to sharpen pace and review an error log; it is not enough to learn a body system you have never studied.

The lowest-scoring one on your baseline, not the one you enjoy most. For most applicants that is Anatomy & Physiology or Math, and both respond well to short daily sessions rather than long weekend blocks.

Do more than read the correct answer. Name why you missed it, revisit the underlying concept, and answer a similar question later to confirm the error is actually fixed.

Light review of formulas, high-yield A&P facts and your personal error log. Confirm your testing location or remote setup, prepare your identification, and stop early enough to sleep well.

Requirements are set by the testing site, so check yours directly. Government-issued photo identification is the usual minimum, and personal items including phones and notes are normally stored outside the testing room.

An on-screen calculator is generally provided for the Math section, but availability and whether you may bring your own are set by the testing site. Confirm with them, and practise with an on-screen calculator either way.

Break rules depend on whether you test at a school, a testing center or remotely. Ask in advance, because leaving at the wrong moment can end a section or cost you time you do not get back.

Aim for seven to nine hours if that matches your normal routine. A rested brain helps recall more than a late night of cramming, particularly across a multi-section sitting.

Scores are typically available immediately after you finish, and your program receives them through Elsevier. How quickly admissions acts on them is a separate question worth asking.

The HESI module currently holds 1,200+ active practice questions across every covered subject, organised by subject and topic so you can practise broadly or isolate one weakness.

Yes. Every question carries a written rationale explaining the tested concept and the reasoning behind the best answer. Review every uncertain answer, not only the ones marked wrong, to catch lucky guesses.

Yes. Choose the subjects, topics, difficulty and question count to create a focused set. This matters on the A2, where your school may only require some of the subjects.

CAT mode adjusts practice difficulty as you answer, giving you experience with an adaptive flow. Treat it as a training and diagnostic tool, not as an official HESI score prediction.

No, and treat any product that claims to with suspicion. Practice results show which subjects are weak and whether they are improving. Your actual score depends on the sections your school assigns and how you perform on the day.

Yes. The course works on modern phones, tablets, laptops and desktops while you are signed in. A larger screen is more comfortable for full-length practice sittings and detailed review.

The access period is shown on each plan before purchase. Choose one that leaves room for baseline testing, targeted review and several final mixed exams.
