The HESI A2 (Admission Assessment) covers Math, Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary, Grammar, and Anatomy & Physiology; some programs also include Biology, Chemistry, or Physics. Your school chooses which sections you take.

Most nursing programs look for about 75-80% or higher, and competitive programs may want 85%+. Always check your specific school’s cutoff.

Each section has roughly 25-55 questions depending on the version, and schools decide which sections to require, so total length varies.

There is no single national pass/fail line — each nursing program sets its own minimum score, so ‘passing’ depends on where you are applying.
