HESI A2 Admission Assessment - Mathematics, Reading, Vocabulary, Grammar, Biology, Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology — Elsevier
The HESI A2 is the admission assessment from Elsevier that many nursing and allied health programs require. It is built from modules in math, reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, biology, chemistry and anatomy and physiology, and each program chooses which modules you take and what scores it needs. SummitCert's portal is a study aid with exam-style questions and explanations, flashcards, a long practice set and progress tracking by subject.

HESI A2 exam requirements & cost
Straight from the certifying body — separate from what we charge for the study portal.
The HESI A2 Admission Assessment is made up of modules in mathematics, reading comprehension, vocabulary and general knowledge, grammar, biology, chemistry, and anatomy and physiology; each program chooses which modules to require (Elsevier HESI Admission Assessment Exam Review, 6th edition). Passing scores are set by each program: school documents used 70 or higher on reading and math, while a 75 percent benchmark is commonly cited but is not published by Elsevier. This portal's practice set has 310 multiple-choice questions across the seven subjects. There is no single passing score: each nursing or allied health program sets minimum scores per section or for a composite. Examples seen were 70 or higher on reading and math, and a few programs ask for 80 percent on every scored section. Costs are set by each school or test center. School handouts listed about $40 to $50 per sitting, and some colleges fund the first attempt; confirm the price with your program. The content outline spreads questions across 7 areas; the largest are Mathematics (17.7%); Reading Comprehension (17.7%); Vocabulary (17.7%). The full list of areas and weights is on the portal exam page. Eligibility is set by the nursing or health program that requires the HESI A2; Elsevier does not publish a national rule.
