HESI A2 practice tests, all 7 sections, scored the way your school scores them

The HESI A2 has up to ten possible sections, and your nursing program chooses which ones you take. Nearly every program requires the same core four — Mathematics, Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary and Grammar. Many add Anatomy & Physiology, Biology or Chemistry. Physics is rarely required, so our tests cover the seven sections programs actually ask for. Check your program's admissions page before you start studying, because studying for a section you will never sit is wasted time.

It depends entirely on which sections your program requires. On the real exam the core four run to about three and a half hours, and each science section adds roughly another twenty-five minutes. Our full-length tests run all seven sections back to back, with a ten-minute break between the language and science halves, so sit only the sections your school asks for if you want to match your own test day.

Most schools impose a time limit, though the exact policy varies and a few allow more generous timing than others. We time every section, because a section you can only finish untimed is a section you have not really passed. If your school is more relaxed about time, you will simply find our tests harder than the real thing, which is the right way round.

They match its sections, its question style and its difficulty, and every section runs on its own clock. Each section here is a full 50 questions, which is more than the real science sections carry, so you get extra practice exactly where most people are weakest. We are not affiliated with Elsevier and we do not reproduce their questions — every item here is written from the published exam blueprint.
