This book contains three practice tests for the Evolve Reach (formerly HESI) A2 (Admission Assessment Exam).

They follow the format used in the A2 online exam. Taking these practice tests will give you a good idea of what youll encounter when you take the real exam. As you complete the tests, youll become familiar with the directions, structure, and content that youre likely to see at the testing site.

The A2 Exam is used for admission to certain nursing schools. It is a product of Evolve Learning Systems, a division of Elsevier Publishing. Different nursing programs require different exams; for example, some schools expect applicants to take the Nursing Entrance Test (NET) or the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS).

Other schools give you a variety of entrance exams from which to choose. Still others require the A2 exclusively.

To know whether the school or schools of your choice require the A2, visit their websites or call their admissions offices. They may call this particular test the HESI A2 test, the Evolve Reach A2 test, or the Admission Assessment Exam. Before you begin to study, make sure that you are studying for the correct test. The exam is given at a variety of sites, often at nursing schools or community colleges. The exam is given at a variety of sites, often at nursing schools or community colleges.

The dates of the exam may depend on the application dates for the nursing school where you take the test. Some schools offer the test every few weeks throughout the year. You may also take the exam at one of more than 350 Prometric testing sites around the country. To register for an exam, send this information in an e-mail to exam-eligibility@elsevier.com: school, first name, middle name, last name, address, city, state, zip code, phone number, and e-mail address. You will receive a confirmation notice and eligibility ID by return e-mail within three days. Check this material carefully and e-mail Elsevier immediately if there is an error.

To take the exam at the nursing school or community college of your choice, log on to that schools website to learn how to sign up for the next available test. To take the exam at a Prometric site, log on to http://www.prometric.com/Elsevier. Plugging in your state, clicking Admission Assessment, and typing your zip code lets you locate the testing site and date that best suit your needs.

Then work backward from that date to determine when you should take the test. If you take the test at the nursing school that you hope to attend, the date of the test will be designed to mesh with that schools application dates.

The A2 contains several modules in the areas of English language, mathematics, and science. Not all nursing programs require every module. If you take the test at a nursing school or community college, the school will probably only test you on the modules that its nursing program requires. For example, some programs do not require any of the science modules.Next page
