HESI A2 Entrance ExamPreface:I gathered this information from within an online study group inwhich many people share questions and advice for test takers.To my knowledge nothing in this document is taken illegallyfrom bought resources and used without permission of themanufactures. PLEASE inform me if this document violates anyrules and I will remove it.This is a combination of MANY files and posts within thegroups. I had to go through the questions and rewrite forcomprehension, reformat for this document, highlight, andchange answers from many incorrect ones. This took hours tocompile as a one stop document to entirely prepare you for theHESI Exam. That being said: I would not charge for somethinglike this since it is a cumulation of many people's efforts.However, if anyone wants to donate to me for my time andeffort as well as the sample study plan at the bottom of thedocument, it would be very much appreciated!!!
