These questions are selected from our HESI A2 bank. Work through proportions, body systems, passage evidence, vocabulary, grammar, biology, and chemistry. Read an explanation for every option.

Independent practice, not an official Elsevier assessment. This sample gives extra space to A&P and math and does not mirror every school’s required modules or test weighting. Twenty questions cannot predict admission or a full HESI result.

  1. Renal hormone regulation

    A patient has a severe drop in renal perfusion pressure. In the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which change most directly increases sodium reabsorption in the distal nephron to help restore blood volume?

  2. Volume conversion with fractions

    A container holds 1.5 L of saline. You pour out 250 mL, then add 3/4 L of sterile water. How much liquid is in the container now (in mL)?

  3. Finding a passage’s main idea

    Which statement best expresses the main idea of the passage?

  4. Vocabulary in context: succinct

    During the meeting, the professor offered a "succinct" explanation of the assignment so students could start right away. What does the word in quotes mean?

  5. Punctuating an appositive

    Which sentence uses commas correctly with an appositive (renaming phrase)?

  6. Haploid and diploid cells

    Which statement best explains why human gametes (egg and sperm) contain 23 chromosomes instead of 46?

  7. Isotopes and atomic structure

    A student compares two atoms of chlorine: chlorine-35 and chlorine-37. Both are neutral atoms. Which statement correctly describes how these two atoms differ?

  8. Calcium-regulating hormones

    A student is contrasting calcitonin and parathyroid hormone (PTH) in calcium homeostasis. Which statement best distinguishes calcitonin from PTH?

  9. Calculating elapsed time

    A clinic asks a patient to arrive at 13:40. Check-in takes 25 minutes, the procedure lasts 1 hour 15 minutes, and recovery takes 50 minutes. If each step begins immediately after the previous one ends, what time (military time) should the patient expect to be ready to leave?

  10. Lung volumes and capacities

    A patient exhales as forcefully as possible after taking the deepest breath possible. Which lung volume is being measured?

  11. Recognizing the author’s tone

    What is the author’s tone in this passage?

  12. Percentages and whole-number quantities

    A clinic has 2.0 kg of powdered supplement. It uses 15% of the powder for a trial batch. The rest is placed into jars that hold 250 g each. How many full jars can be filled? (1 kg = 1000 g)

  13. Avoiding double negatives

  14. Vocabulary in context: mitigate

    After reviewing the budget shortfall, the committee proposed several measures to "mitigate" the financial impact on students. What does the quoted word most nearly mean?

  15. Cerebellar function

    A patient has suffered damage to the cerebellum. Which symptom would be most likely?

  16. Predicting genetic outcomes

    In a simple genetic cross, a plant with genotype Aa is crossed with another plant that is also Aa. Which statement best describes the possible offspring genotypes?

  17. Ion formation

    Which change occurs when a neutral atom becomes a typical ion (such as Na becoming Na+ or Cl becoming Cl-)?

  18. Solving a proportion

    Solve the proportion X:72::35:56. What is the value of X?

  19. Tracing cardiac blood flow

    A nurse is tracing blood flow for a patient with mitral stenosis. Which sequence correctly describes blood flow from the right atrium to the left ventricle, including the correct valves and vessels?

  20. Mixture ratios and metric units

    A disinfectant solution is mixed in a ratio of 1 part concentrate to 9 parts water. How many milliliters (mL) of concentrate are needed to make 2.5 liters (L) of solution?
