HESI A2 VOCABULARY PRACTICE TEST & ANSWERS
1. If you want to have burgers for dinner tomorrow night, you’ll have to remind me to take
the meat patties out of the freezer to .
a. corrode
b. divide
c. thaw
d. eat
“Corrode” means to disintegrate, which doesn’t make sense in this context. We
know that the meat has already been divided into patties, so choice B is
incorrect. While the patties will become burgers that will be eaten later, this
statement is not discussing that; the patties are still frozen, uncooked, and
inedible at this stage. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer.
2. A rash in the shape of a bulls-eye on the skin is a sign for Lyme disease. If
you see one, you should go to the doctor for a blood test to confirm.
a. shabby
b. fair
c. rigorous
d. reliable
“Shabby” describes something that is tattered, which does not apply in this
context. “Fair” can be used as a descriptor in a number of ways, but none of
them would describe a bulls-eye rash. While “rigorous” could indicate
something severe, choice D is the best fit for this sentence based upon the
information we have.
3. Osteogenesis Imperfecta is a bone disorder that causes fragile, easily broken bones; it is
more commonly known as “ bone disease.”
a. rigorous
b. divided
c. brittle
d. artificial
, “Rigorous” would not be used to describe fragile bones. “Divided” could seem
correct, but brittle is a closer synonym for fragile. The statement doesn’t
mention bone replacement, so we can assume that artificial bones aren’t being
discussed here.
4. Knee replacement surgery involves removing the knee bone and replacing it with an
joint.
a. rigorous
b. divided
c. brittle
d. artificial
A brittle joint would be counterproductive and a divided joint doesn’t make
sense. Although a rigorous joint might be advantageous, the student should be
able to tell from the context of a knee replacement that we are talking about
an artificial joint.
5. Recent studies show that consuming a/n of ibeprophen can be unhealthy
and adults should only use it as needed.
a. excess
b. amount
c. tablet
d. combination
The sentence includes a qualifying statement that identifies what is considered
“healthy” consumption. “Amount” is incorrect because it is too vague. Tablet,
could be correct, but if students consider the qualifying statement at the end
of the sentence, they could infer that consuming one tablet of ibeprophen
would not be considered “unhealthy.” combination, is incorrect because the
statement only refers to one kind of medication.
6. The training required to participate in the Olympics prevents many
athletes from competing more than once. They are only in shape to compete at that
level for a short length of time.
a. rigorous
b. restricted
c. combination
d. latter
, Students should be able to infer that the training is so extensive and rigorous
that athletes are not physically capable of competing more than once. Latter
and combination do not make sense in the sentence on their own.
7. Diabetes is classified as type 1 or type 2. The commonly occurs as a result
of obesity. Type 1, on the other hand, is believed to be genetic.
a. other
b. combination
c. tentative
d. latter
Because the final sentence discusses Type 1 diabetes, the student should be
able to determine that the sentence with the missing word is discussing Type 2
diabetes exclusively. Therefore, choice D is correct.
8. Some people think that you can get away with riding the train without paying the
, but there are serious consequences if you get caught without a ticket.
a. fair
b. faire
c. fare
d. fee
Choices A and B are the wrong spellings for this use of “fare.” A fee is similar,
but not quite the same thing as a fare. Therefore, C is the correct answer.
9. The shoulder features a ball-and-socket joint that allows us to our arms.
a. inflate
b. roll
c. rotate
d. grow
Arms cannot be “inflated” and “rolling” is not as accurate as “rotate” is to
describe action that can be made with the shoulder. Furthermore, joints do not
allow us to “grow” ligaments.
10. Our time of arrival is 6pm, but that depends on how much traffic we hit
on the highway.
, a. tentative
b. absolute
c. cautious
d. revolving
The time is not absolute because they do not know how much traffic they will
hit. Choices C and D do not make sense when discussing time of arrival.
Therefore, the correct answer is A.
11. X-rays can be used to changes in tissue that may indicate the presence
of certain cancers.
a. inflate
b. detect
c. magnify
d. jolt
Changes in tissues cannot be inflated or magnified, although the X-rays,
themselves, can be. However, X-rays can detect changes in tissues. “Jolt” is not
a word that applies to this sentence. Therefore, choice B is correct.
12. Josh’s skiing accident resulted in injuries that will require surgery on his
back, knee, and shoulder. He will likely need to undergo multiple surgeries, as a result.
a. hazardous
b. revolving
c. negative
d. extensive
Though the surgery may be complicated or even hazardous, the second
sentence tells us that their will be multiple surgeries which is most closely
related to choice D, extensive.
13. Good news! The results of your test for strep throat came back . You
won’t need any antibiotics.
a. negative
b. positive
c. accurate
d. catalyzed
