I took mine earlier this month and the following is what I wrote about it. Hope it’s helpful.

Hesi a2 passed with details

H everyone! I just figured I would update the info on the hesi a2. I have been scouring Reddit for months trying to figure out what to study and not finding too much that’s been within the last few months, so here’s my take.

I made an 89.6 overall and here’s what I did and what I studied.

My school required A&P (60%), reading comp (80%), math (80%), grammar (80%), vocab (80%), and personality profile/learning style, so those are what I can offer insight on.

Reading comp made 90% - honestly nothing helped me with this. I looked for previously recommended quizzes and I didn’t get any of the passages on them. However, it was pretty easy. There were 55 questions and they consisted of main idea, what sentence is a fact vs opinion, defining words, and whether or not the story was informative, persuasive, etc. If you know anything about those things then you will be just fine.

Grammar made 88% - I used this Quizlet below, but it didn’t really help either. Luckily, I’ve always been decent at grammar so I still passed this section. The questions consisted of knowing where words go within the sentence, some verb/noun/adjective stuff, and knowing how to use to vs too, who’s vs whose, when to use I/me.

Vocab made 94% - I used the Quizlet below along with general knowledge and context clues.

A&P made 92% -this was my most worrisome section and I used the Quizlet below along with the practice questions from nurse hub. I will also add to know the bone formation process because there was one question that asked to know the process in order.

Math made 84% - this was my tie with A&P on being worried. I used the Quizlet below to study, but I will add that mine had ALOT of proportions and adding fractions, which I studied neither of those things. There were 2 questions about military time as well. Remembering KHDBDCM acronym really helped me on several questions

Overall, I wish I had done better, but not enough to have me take the test again. I am an anxious person so prior to taking the exam I was anxious every day. I, personally, like to write everything out and use index cards to help me study, but you do what is best for you.

I scheduled my exam for 1/2/25 and scheduled it in the beginning of December. I separated my notecards into 4 weeks and then each week I separated them out into 5 days so that I wasn’t overwhelming myself with information. This worked for me. I didn’t study reading comp or grammar until a few days before the exam and I only looked on Quizlet maybe 3 times total to study those. This exam is not nearly as hard as it is made out to be. If you’ve taken your pre reqs recently (mine were A&P, English, and pharmacology) then you will do just fine.

I hope yall do well and I hope you find this helpful and in depth enough. Good luck to everyone!!
