I passed my HESI today on my first attempt with a 98.67% cumulative score! I wanted to share what worked for me and say a huge thank you to everyone who shared their Quizlets—they were incredibly helpful.

Aside from the links below, I used the McGraw-Hill HESI review books and took their practice exams to simulate a timed environment. I completed the subjects in the following order:

BIOLOGY - 100%

• Topics: Cell parts, Mitosis, Meiosis, Aerobic Respiration, Taxonomy, and Hierarchy Order.

MATH - 100%

• Tips: I have a strong math foundation, so I didn't use Quizlets much here. About 50% of the exam was Ratio and Proportion.
• Other topics: Percentages (finding %, converting to decimals), conversions, and word problems.
• Note: Not everything is multiple choice—some questions require manual entry. An on-screen calculator is provided, which is great for converting fractions to decimals quickly.

VOCABULARY - 94%

• Tips: Almost every word on the exam was in this Quizlet. Try to understand the words by heart rather than just memorizing them.

Good luck to everyone preparing to take it! You've got this.
