| Posted over 3 years ago I took the NLN pre-admission exam and I bought a book and just did question after question after question. There was math, bio, chem, physics on my exam and going over the questions was what helped me the most. The book I had even had review chapters on each subject. |

| Posted over 3 years ago Hey tweety612 thanks for the response, do you still remember the name of the book and how much it cost to purchase it. I know the school that I am suppose to start going to actually sales the book of that the HESI company makes for their Nursing Entrance exam and it's $39.00 dollars. I am currently trying to find more options that involve not really spending that muh money. So any assistance on what the book is called that helped you or how much it cost would greatly be appreciated. |

| Posted over 3 years ago If you go on Amazon and do a search for the HESI entrance exam book it will come up. The book is yellow and blue you can't miss it. My only advice is to study hard. The A&P part is definitely the hardest so you'll want to pay specific attention to that part. |

| Posted over 3 years ago sassy - I used the HESI A2 study guide (I think it was the 2nd ed). I bought it online from a used college textbook store for about $5 delivered! Going over ALL the questions plus reviewing A&P textbooks, my old chemistry book, plus reviewing all sorts of math problems, were all instrumental in my high score. I spent about 15-20 hours over a one week period preparing. I over studied but that was better than the opposite. Good luck! |

| Posted over 3 years ago Let us know how you do. Our school changed to this exam this year. I'm glad it wasn't before I went in LOL! I had to do the critical thinking test. I heard that the HESI was harder than the CT! |

| Posted about 3 years ago I'm really surprised that nursing schools are using the HESI as an entrance exam. I don't know how you're supposed to pass the HESI when you've not had any nursing school. So weird to me. I'm taking it as my exit exam. I just took a benchmark HESI and made 967! I was thrilled! |

| Posted almost 3 years ago Hey guys I just took the HESI Entrance Exam it was really easy to me I received an 80% percent I just purchased a study guide from my school and studied that and passed it I was so happy. Now they are going to present me to the nursing committee and I will know if I get into the nursing exam in one to two weeks. They told me they are going to try to speed the process so I don't have to wait that long for a response. Wow I hope I get in I am so excited I will keep you all posted. Also thanks to all of those who replied to my posting I really appreciate it. |
