HESI TEST
 

Admission Assessment

All applicants are required to take the HESI Admission Assessment Exam (HESI A2), an assessment tool used to evaluate prospective students and their potential for successful program completion.

Test dates on the UTA campus:
January 15, 16, 22, 23, 29, 30, 2010

You may test at UTA by registering for one of the above dates in advance. Seats are limited and registration is required.

Areas to be tested include Math, Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary and General Knowledge and Grammar.  Although not  used as admission criteria, applicants will also complete the Learning and Personality Styles to provide them insight into their study habits, learning preferences, and dispositions as they relate to academic achievement.

*Students who have submitted a writing sample during a previous application period will be required to take the HESI A2.  Students who have submitted HESI A2 scores for a previous application are not required to re-test provided their scores are no more than 3 years old.  At this time, we do not require a minimum application score.
