HESI A2 Exam
We are happy to offer the HESI A2 exam through the year. The HESI A2 exam can be completed once per application period. We give the full version of the HESI A2 exam, but do not use a Physics section (that section is for Radiology Programs) or the Critical Thinking portion. Neither of those sections are included in the composite score used by our and other Nursing programs.
Our recommended score to aim for is a 75 composite, but that is not a hard cutoff for applicants. Students are allotted 4.5 hours to complete the exam, with most applicants completing it in around 3 hours.
Registering with Elsevier (Part I)
HESI A2 registration will be temporarily unavailable the week of June 1st while we transition to the HESI Next Gen Testing service. Please check back after June 8th for updated registration information.
Testing through the Volpe Library Testing and Learning Center (Part II)
Our recommended method of completing the HESI A2 exam is to complete the exam in-person through our on-campus testing center. If you are new to campus and have not taken classes through us before, make sure your university admission has gone through and you have your student ID and email so that you can access the Testing and Learning Center. If you have your student ID and email set up, you are ready to sign up for the HESI through the Testing and Learning Center. Please check back after June 8th for the update registration instructions.
Testing through ProctorU (Alternate to Part II)
We do have a virtual testing option available; however this is only recommended for students who are unable to make it to our campus testing center due to distance. Please contact Ben Clark (bclark@tntech.edu) to inquire about the ProctorU testing option.
