HESI A2 ENTRANCE EXAMPreface:
I gathered this information from within an online study group in which many people share
questions and advice for test takers. To my knowledge nothing in this document is taken
illegally from bought resources and used without permission of the manufactures. PLEASE
inform me if this document violates any rules and I will remove it.
This is a combination of MANY files and posts within the groups. I had to go through the
questions and rewrite for comprehension, reformat for this document, highlight, and
change answers from many incorrect ones. This took hours to compile as a one stop
document to entirely prepare you for the HESI Exam. That being said: I would not charge
for something like this since it is a cumulation of many people's efforts. However, if anyone
wants to donate to me for my time and effort as well as the sample study plan at the bottom
of the document, it would be very much appreciated!!! My cashapp is $eliarnn.
