Math on The HESI A2 Exam

The use of math is a significant part of the healthcare field, which is why nursing students need to have a firm grasp on it. Thankfully, our professors here at Adkins Academy can help! The HESI A2 Math test is written to reflect the ever-evolving needs of the nursing field. The HESI A2 Mathematics Test consists of 50 mathematics questions covering several subsections. These subsections are:

Basic Operations
Decimals
Fractions and Percentages
Proportions
Ratios
Rate and Military Time
Algebra

The HESI math questions test a student’s knowledge of basic mathematical concepts that they might encounter in their everyday lives. The math skills tested may have a correlation to health-related scenarios. This portion of the HESI A2 exam is 50 minutes long and consists of 50 questions. You will be able to use a computer calculator on the HESI A2 test.

Expect questions to come in a variety of different formats such as equations, word problems, and statements that you will have to first decode, devise a plan of action for, and then answer. Topics in detail covered on the exam include:

Word Questions

There are several word questions that seem fairly basic with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division but you have to know exactly how to do the questions correctly and quickly.

Conversions

There are basic conversions like liters to milliliters, ounces to cups, gallons to cups, kilograms to pounds, etc.

Fractions

You will need to understand fractions. This includes how to add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators and mixed numbers. If you can reduce fractions and find the common denominator, you will be fine with the HESI A2 fraction questions.

Roman Numeral

There will be a few questions asking you to identify a roman numeral as a number.

Proportions

You must be able to find the value of X from a proportion and be able to make a proportion to find a percent.
Oftentimes, determining what is being asked of you is the most difficult part of the question. That is why fully understanding the material is such an important part of your studies. Thankfully, the Adkins Academy is here to help.

Beyond the material, you will learn strategies on how to unpack these difficult and often deliberately confusing questions, to avoid being misled. As a nursing school student and in your professional career, you will be faced with many difficult challenges and decisions that will require you to be able to think critically. Your nursing school wants to make sure you can “think on your feet quickly and accurately.” This is to ensure that all potential nurses are able to apply these concepts effectively as they relate to the nursing field in a fast-paced and often high-pressure environment.
