HESI A2 Mathematics practice test
The arithmetic a nurse actually uses, including conversions.
The HESI A2 has no fixed length. Elsevier publishes eight academic components and each nursing program picks which ones its applicants sit, so the question count and time limit for this component depend on your program — here is what to ask them.
Using 1 in = 2.54 cm, how tall in centimetres is a person measuring 60 inches?
What this section asks
The HESI A2 math component leans harder toward measurement and dosage groundwork than the TEAS does: household-to-metric conversion, ratio and proportion, and roman numerals, which still appear on this exam and on almost nothing else. Practice the conversions until they are recall, not calculation.
Frequently asked
- How many questions are in the HESI A2 Mathematics component?
- There is no universal answer. Elsevier publishes eight academic components and each nursing program selects and configures which ones its applicants sit, so the length depends on your program.
- Will my program require the Mathematics component?
- That is set by the program. Ask for the required component list in writing before you build a study plan.
- Is this the official HESI A2?
- No. These are original practice questions written for study. The official exam is administered by Elsevier.
