  • In this video, I am sharing my experience taking the HESI A2 nursing entrance exam. I am giving the details on what resources I used to prepare and to study and how I was able to score a cumulative 94% on the HESI A2 exam. I am also giving a general overview of what sections I had on my exam and what types of questions I had on each section. I hope this helps all of you preparing for the HESI exam!

      I don’t remember the exact number, but I do know that I had about 4-5 questions per passage for most of the passages. Some of them were short, like just a couple paragraphs. Some were long, like 4 or 5 paragraphs. It was really a mixture of length as well as different types of passages/style of writing.

    • @EstyNistor
      @EstyNistor  2 роки тому +2

      The Mometrix secrets study guides were very helpful for me. If you’re looking for a course/comprehensive review, I would recommend either Mometrix Online Courses (they have a separate course for each of the tests) or Nurse Hub. The nice part about the Nurse Hub course is that the subscription covers all the test prep courses, so you pay one subscription cost for all the tests that they include

  • @dustinsnook1566
    @dustinsnook1566 2 роки тому

    What would you recommend more? Mometrix or Smart Edition Academy?

    • @EstyNistor
      @EstyNistor  2 роки тому +2

      That’s a tough one because they are both really solid and extremely similar in content. I also found that the questions on both were very similar to the actual test. I think (just personal opinion here) that smart edition has some more difficult science questions, which can be helpful in preparing for the teas science. Mometrix is super solid in all sections, but I personally found the science section to be harder on the real test than the prep. Price for Smart Edition is a one time charge for access to their course, and Mometrix is a monthly subscription which you can cancel when you like.

      Hi! For the HESI, I took a practice exam first and then made a list of all the topics and areas I was not solid on that I wanted to improve. Then I studied and did tons of practice questions on all of those sections, working from the ones I felt least confident in to the ones I felt more confident in. I primarily used Mometrix Online University. Certainly not a requirement, and you can find lots of great free resources out there also. But it really helped me study well and focus on just what was necessary to focus on in a short amount of time.

      For me personally, it’d be between Mometrix or Nurse Hub. Mometrix has something for every learning style and the course is super comprehensive: posts to read, videos, flashcards, practice questions, and full length practice tests. If you’re looking for something extremely comprehensive, Mometrix might be the way to go. Nurse Hub is also is very comprehensive. If you’re looking for tons of practice questions and lots of practice tests, then NH is a great choice.

If you paid attention in 8th grade, you’ve got it in the bag, that’s all I’ll say, the practice tests are all way harder than the actual test. What a joke.

      Great job!! I personally found the TEAS test much more challenging than the HESI. However, in my opinion, the HESI wasn’t just “easy” . I really had to study for A & P as I had not taken a course in that before taking my nursing entrance exams. The other sections felt basically like a review of what I’d learned in middle school/high school.

      Yes, you can have scratch paper. You will need to show your proctor your scratch paper, whether you’re taking in person or online.

      Lol-never said I studied 3 books in 2 weeks, but I did use all 3 courses mentioned in the video. They are all very similar to each other and you can’t go wrong choosing one of them for your studies, from my personal experience.
