Exam: HESI Admission Assessment (HESI A2) · Organization: Elsevier
Includes: Lessons + Flashcards + QBank
Audience: Prospective nursing and allied health program applicants preparing for the HESI A2 admission exam, including learners whose schools may require different combinations of HESI A2 subtests.
Goals:
- By the end of this course, learners will be able to:
- Explain the HESI A2 at a high level, including commonly assigned subject areas, computer-based testing expectations, and the fact that required subtests, score targets, and weighting may vary by school.
- Master the high-yield concepts, definitions, formulas, grammar rules, vocabulary patterns, reading strategies, and foundational science facts commonly tested across HESI A2 subject domains.
- Apply concepts in realistic HESI A2-style multiple-choice scenarios, including single-best-answer, passage-based, calculation-based, grammar-editing, vocabulary-in-context, and foundational science concept questions.
- Solve common math, unit conversion, ratio/proportion, algebra, and basic science calculation tasks accurately when applicable (show steps; avoid shortcuts that hide reasoning).
- Distinguish common distractors, misconceptions, and boundary cases, including look-alike numeric answers, unit traps, unsupported reading choices, grammar near-misses, vocabulary word-part confusion, and science answer choices that confuse related structures or processes.
- Use a consistent problem-solving framework: identify the task → extract key facts → select the governing rule/formula/evidence → execute → verify units, wording, and reasonableness.
- Build retrieval-ready memory using concise tables, formula sheets, grammar checkpoints, word-part lists, body-system summaries, and spaced review prompts.
- Demonstrate readiness by completing self-check questions and mini-assessments mapped to explicit HESI A2 subject/subskill tags.
- Coverage & Blueprint Mapping Requirements:
- Treat each commonly assigned HESI A2 subject area as a blueprint domain unless more specific school documentation is provided: Math, Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary & General Knowledge, Grammar, Biology, Chemistry, Anatomy & Physiology, and Physics.
- Every chapter/section/subsection/topic must map to at least one explicit tag using the format 'SUBJECT: → '.
- Use teachable subskills such as: Math → Basic operations; Fractions/decimals/percents; Ratio/proportion; Conversions and measurement; Word problems; Algebra basics. Reading Comprehension → Main idea; Supporting details; Inference; Author purpose/tone; Context clues; Summary and conclusion. Vocabulary & General Knowledge → Word meaning; Context usage; Prefixes/suffixes/roots; Common academic and healthcare-related terminology. Grammar → Parts of speech; Subject-verb agreement; Verb tense; Pronouns; Punctuation; Sentence structure; Modifiers; Common usage errors. Biology → Cell biology; Genetics; Metabolism; Classification; Evolution/ecology basics; Scientific method. Chemistry → Atomic structure; Periodic table trends; Chemical bonding; Reactions; Solutions; Acids/bases; Basic stoichiometric reasoning; States of matter. Anatomy & Physiology → Body organization; Homeostasis; Major body systems; Structure-function relationships; Directional terminology; Basic physiology concepts. Physics → Motion; Force; Work and energy; Pressure; Waves; Electricity basics; Scientific notation and unit reasoning.
- Ensure complete coverage: no listed HESI A2 domain or subskill is left unmapped when included in the course.
- If official school-specific subtests, weighting, timing, calculator rules, or cut scores are not provided, do not infer them. Use learner-safe guidance such as: 'Your program may require different HESI A2 sections; confirm required subtests and score targets with your school.'
- Stay within admission-exam scope: emphasize foundational academic skills and science knowledge, not clinical nursing practice or licensure-level decision-making.
