Open subject lessonsCommon questions
Which subjects should I practice?
Choose the subjects listed by your nursing or allied-health program. Our starting selection is reading, vocabulary, grammar and math. Add anatomy and physiology, biology, chemistry, critical thinking or physics if your program requires them.
Is there one full HESI A2 exam everyone takes?
No. Programs select subjects and set testing requirements. Our full rehearsal uses your selected subjects, with clearly labeled practice timing. Check the required subjects and appointment rules before booking your official exam.
What does a HESI A2 pass cover?
One HESI A2 pass covers its short-drill replays, section rehearsals and selected-subject full rehearsals for the chosen period. Accounts with free first attempts can try the diagnostic and each short drill once. Saved results and explanations remain available.
Will I see explanations while answering?
Short drills and the diagnostic show explanations as you practice, with passage-group feedback delayed to avoid revealing later answers. Section rehearsals and the full rehearsal show results and explanations after you finish.
Does my practice percentage predict my official score?
No. These are original questions scored as practice accuracy. Schools set their own admissions rules. Review every required subject separately, and use multiple fresh attempts when judging progress.
Are HESI Exit, NCLEX and personality tests included?
This product prepares for HESI A2 admissions subjects, not HESI Exit or NCLEX. The study guide explains personal inventories without assigning right answers or a passing score to personality or learning preferences.
