You will also not need a calculator. There is one available for you to use within the testing software. This information can help you identify any weak areas where you may want to spend a little extra time studying. They can also give you a feel for how long the questions take you, and how much time you can afford to spend on each section.
Examples include study guides and flashcards. Some students find that working with the same content in multiple formats helps them to really remember the important points and the knowledge that is required during the exam. You can time yourself and just take the sections that you will be taking on the day of your exam to help you get a feel for how long you can allow yourself with each question and understand how your performance may be affected when you take the full exam.
When you do the easy ones first, you have a better idea of how much time you can spend on the more difficult sections. It may be tempting to spend the days and nights leading up the test cramming the material, but studying at a steady pace and ensuring you get plenty of rest before taking the exam will often result in a better performance. Be sure to read through the instructions and all test questions carefully.
Yes, you can retake the exam, but you can only take it once every 60 days, and no more than three times within a month period. For this reason, it is essential to study and prepare for the exam as much as possible prior to taking it. Examinees are allowed to take short breaks to use the restroom, get a drink, or eat a small snack. While you cannot have food or drinks in the testing area, you can bring them to the test site for break time.
During breaks, examinees are not allowed to access the internet, check email, or look at any study materials or books. Your scores may be accessed through the testing center where the exam was taken or through the Evolve Elsevier website. Finding our practice test questions for the HESI exam helpful?

What takes place is truly remarkable. In both of these instances, when the train or ambulance moves toward the sound waves in front of it, the sound waves are pulled closer together and have a higher frequency.
In either instance, the listener positioned in front of the moving object hears a higher pitch. The ambulance and locomotive are progressively moving away from the sound waves behind them, causing the waves to be farther apart and to have a lower frequency.
These fast-approaching modes of transportation distance themselves past the listener, who hears a lower pitch. What is the main idea of the passage? Trains and ambulances make distinctly loud noises. Low-frequency waves make high-pitched sounds. High-frequency waves make low-pitched sounds. The Doppler effect explains why sound is heard initially more strongly and then faintly after a moving object has passed.

Therefore, it is essential that students entering the health professions be able to understand and make calculations using whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percentages. The purpose of this chapter is to review the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percentages.
Basic algebra skills will also be reviewed: evaluating expressions, and solving for a specific variable. Mastery of these basic mathematic functions is an integral step toward a career in the health professions.
Place Value: The value of the position of a digit in a number e. Line up the digits according to place value. Example 2 Steps 1.
Example 1 Steps 1. Align the digits according to place value. Subtract: 3. Jeff walks 5 miles west then turns north and walks 8 miles. How far has Jeff walked? Julie picks 26 tomatoes from the tomato plants in her garden. She gives 7 tomatoes to her next-door neighbor. How many tomatoes does Julie have left? Vocabulary Product: The answer to a multiplication problem.
If you do not skip a space, the answer will be incorrect. Below is an example of a well-aligned problem. Multiply one digit at a time. Add the two products together. Add the three products together. Jan is preparing an examination for 29 students.
Each student will have 30 questions, with no student having duplicate questions. How many questions will Jan need to prepare? John is ordering lunch for the volunteers at the hospital. There are 12 units in the hospital, with 15 volunteers in each unit. How many lunches will John need to order? Divisor: The number by which the dividend is divided. Quotient: The answer to a division problem. Remainder: The portion of the dividend that is not evenly divisible by the divisor. It is best not to leave a division problem with a remainder, but to end it as a fraction or decimal instead.
To make the problem into a decimal, add a decimal point and zeros at the end of the dividend and continue. If a remainder continues to occur, round to the hundredths place. Example: Set up the problem. Use a series of multiplication and subtraction problems to solve a division problem. Begin with the hundreds place. There is no number that can be multiplied by 6 that will equal 7 exactly, so try to get as close as possible without going over 7.
The two becomes the next number in the quotient. There is not a remainder. Write the 3 in the quotient. It is written above the 7 in 17 because that is the last digit in the number. Bring the 4 down. Five does not divide evenly into 24; therefore, try to get close without going over.
There is a remainder of 4, but there is not a number left in the dividend. Add a decimal point and zeros and continue to divide. The quotient or answer is There are pieces of candy in a large jar. Ben wants to give the 25 campers in his group an even amount of candy. How many pieces of candy will each camper receive? Edie has tulip bulbs. She wants to plant all of the tulip bulbs in 12 rows. How many tulip bulbs will Edie plant in each row? Vocabulary Place value: Regarding decimals, numbers to the right of the decimal point have different terms from the whole numbers to the left of the decimal point.
Each digit in a number occupies a position called a place value. HESI Hint Remember, whole numbers are written to the left of the decimal point and place values are written to the right of the decimal point. Line the numbers up vertically before solving the problem.
Example: 5. Align the decimal points. Final answer: 5. Remember that after the ones place, there is a decimal point. To help with organization, add zeros placeholders. Final answer: Example 3 Steps 1. Final answer: 3. Because 12 is a whole number, add a decimal point and zeros. The ones become 1, the tenths become 9, and the hundredths become Bill has 2.
If Bill uses all of his sick days and his vacation days, how many days will he have off work? Erin has 6. She gives Rose 3. How many pies does Erin have left? Starting from the right, count the decimal places in both numbers and add together two decimal places. Move to the left two places, and then place the decimal point. Starting from the right, count the decimal places in both numbers and add together four decimal places. Move to the left four places, and then place the decimal.
Jenny lost 3. How much weight has Jenny lost? Richard wants to make 2. One batch calls for 1. How many cups of sugar will Richard need for 2. Though this number could be written Set up the division problem. Move the decimal point in 2. What is done to one side must be done to the other side. Move the decimal point one place to the right in 34, making it , and then bring the decimal point up into the quotient.
Divide normally. This is as close to 90 as possible without going over. The quotient is Move the decimal point in 0. Move the same number of spaces in the dividend. Bring the decimal point up to the quotient in the new position. Move the decimal point in the divisor until it is a whole number. Move the decimal point in the dividend the same number of spaces as was moved in the divisor.
Stewart has 56 acres of land. He wants to divide the land into plots of 0. How many plots of land will Stewart have after he divides the 56 acres? Donna has 4. If each pecan tree needs 0. Vocabulary Numerator: The top number in a fraction. Denominator: The bottom number in a fraction. Fraction Bar: The line between the numerator and denominator.
The bar is another symbol for division. Factor: A number that divides evenly into another number. Least Common Denominator: The smallest multiple that two numbers share. Improper Fraction: A fraction where the numerator is larger than the denominator. Proper Fraction: A fraction where the denominator is larger than the numerator. Common Denominator: Two or more fractions having the same denominator.
Reciprocals: Pairs of numbers that equal 1 when multiplied together. Terminating Decimal: A decimal that is not continuous. It represents the part or pieces. It represents the total or whole amount. All represent one-half. Reducing fractions can also be called reducing a fraction to its lowest terms or simplest form. A fraction is reduced to the lowest terms by finding an equivalent fraction in which the numerator and denominator are as small as possible.
You may need to reduce fractions to work with them in an equation or for solving a problem. That means that there is no number, except 1, that can be divided evenly into both the numerator and the denominator. Determining the LCD is an essential step in the addition, subtraction, and ordering of fractions.
Example 1 Find the LCD for and. Steps 1. List the multiples multiplication tables of each denominator. Compare each for the least common multiple. Example 2 Find the LCD for and. List the multiples of each denominator, and find the common multiples.
An improper fraction should be reduced and made into a mixed number. Example Steps 1.
