HESI A2 Entrance Exam
Preface:
I gathered this information from within an online study group in which many people share
questions and advice for
... [Show More] 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.
