Frequently Asked Questions
What is the HESI A2 exam and why do I need to take it?
The HESI A2 (Health Education Systems, Inc. Admissions Assessment) is a standardized test used by nursing and allied health programs to evaluate prospective students' academic readiness. Schools use your HESI A2 scores as part of their admissions criteria to determine if you have the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed in their health science programs.
What subjects are covered on the HESI A2 exam?
The HESI A2 is composed of up to eight academic sections. Programs can customize which sections they require, but the most common areas are:
