Your HESI A2 isn't the same as everyone else’s.

Most HESI prep treats the exam like a fixed 8-section beast. It isn't. The HESI A2 is modular — Elsevier built it that way, and your nursing school picks which subtests you take. Most programs require 4 to 6 of the 8 academic sections; some require all 8, some skip Physics entirely. Email your program coordinator or check the admissions page, get the required list in writing — then everything below applies to your HESI A2.

Math

50 items · ~50 min

Fractions, decimals, ratios, proportions, percentages, basic algebra, military-time conversions, dimensional analysis, and unit conversion — plus the dosage calculations nurses actually use. Our Math video series rebuilds from fractions through algebra, taught for HESI, not generic SAT-style math.

Almost always required.

What score gets you where

HESI A2 cutoffs by program tier.

Cutoffs vary more on HESI than TEAS because of the modular setup — some schools weight A&P heavily, others weight Math. These are illustrative bands by program type; numbers update yearly. The catch: a 78% composite can still get you rejected if A&P is below an 80% floor. Plan section by section — most HESI fails are section-cutoff fails, not composite fails.

Ultra-competitive ABSN

Section min: A&P 80%+

The most selective accelerated programs pair a high composite with a hard A&P floor. Clearing the composite but missing the A&P minimum is the most common way strong applicants get rejected here.

HESI A2 · Why prepare

Why prepare for HESI A2 with us?

Four reasons our students said mattered most. Outcomes, not feature lists.

  • 01 / 04Accuracy

    A plan that ignores what your school doesn't test

    Most prep providers sell you the full 8-section package whether your school requires 4 sections or 8. Our diagnostic asks which sections you actually need, then strips the plan to exactly that — so your study time goes where it matters.

  • 02 / 04Mastery

    A&P that breaks the right way

    Anatomy & Physiology is the section most students underestimate, and it's the one most programs weight heaviest. Our 25 hours of A&P video walks every body system tested on HESI A2, with 200+ questions written to Elsevier's blueprint.

  • 03 / 04Value

    Math built for HESI, not generic test prep

    HESI A2 Math leans heavy on dosage calculations, ratio/proportion, and unit conversions — the math nurses actually use. Our Math library teaches those specifically, not the SAT-style Math most TEAS prep courses recycle.

  • 04 / 04Guarantee

    Money back if you don't lift 10 points

    Take the diagnostic on day 1, sit your real exam within 90 days. If your composite doesn't lift 10+ points, we refund the full plan and extend your access 90 days free.*

  • iOS, Android, and web — synced

    Drill on your phone between shifts, review rationales on a laptop at night. Progress syncs in real time.

Self-paced advantage

Why self-paced beats cohort prep for HESI A2.

HESI A2 dates vary more than TEAS dates because schools often run them in-house. You don't know your exact test date until the school assigns it. A cohort-based program can't adapt to that. Ours can.

  • Reset the plan when your test date shifts

    Schools sometimes move HESI dates by a week or two. Our adaptive planner reshapes around your real test date.

  • Skip sections you're not taking

    A live cohort teaches all 8 sections to everyone. We teach you only what you need — so you don't sit through Physics lessons when your school doesn't test Physics.

  • Drill in 5-minute pockets

    Between clinicals, before bed, on a commute. Mobile-first means you don't need to block a desk hour to make progress.

Content authorship

Who writes our HESI A2 questions?

Not a content farm. Not an AI generator. Every question is written by a subject educator and reviewed for blueprint fidelity against Elsevier's published HESI A2 outline.

  • Quarterly
    refresh — no stale items

The 4-step review every question goes through

  1. Authored by a US-licensed RN (for A&P, Biology, Chemistry) or qualified subject educator (for Math, Reading, Vocab, Grammar, Physics) with relevant teaching experience.
  2. Reviewed by a second educator for accuracy and currency.
  3. Reviewed for HESI A2 blueprint alignment and item-style fidelity.
  4. Final editorial pass for clarity, ambiguity-free wording, and rationale completeness.
Instructors

Taught by educators who know HESI's quirks.

HESI A2 isn't a copy of TEAS. The vocabulary list is Elsevier's own. The Math leans into nursing-relevant problems. The A&P weights hormones, the nephron, and cardiovascular flow harder than most students expect. Our instructors teach to those specifics.

Cost of failing

What does a HESI A2 retake actually cost?

More than the retake fee. Most schools require a 30 to 60-day wait between attempts, which usually means missing the current admission cycle.

  • $35–$115 — HESI A2 retake fee per attempt (varies by test site)
  • 30–60 days — typical wait between attempts (school-set)
  • ~6 months — typical delay to the next BSN admission window
  • Lost wages — if you cut shifts to re-prep
  • Hit your sections the first time and skip every line above
