The HESI Exam

The HESI Exam is an entrance test for nursing schools. It includes 7 academic tests along with a personality profile. The total length of the exam is 5 hours and 15 minutes. The creator and publisher of the exam is HESI Evolve. The primary areas tested are English Language, Math, and Science.

The English Language section includes Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary, and Grammar. For the Reading Comprehension test you will read short passages and then answer a series of multiple choice questions about what you have read. The Vocabulary test will measure your knowledge of basic medical terminology. The Grammar test will evaluate your ability to use proper grammar.

The Math section just has one mathematics test, which covers addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, percentages, decimals, and fractions. Basic algebra skills are also covered.

The Science section covers Biology, Chemistry, Anatomy & Physiology, and Physics. Physics is new addition to this exam, and some colleges do not include it in their admissions test.
