- Dosage CalculationFinding a dose from a concentration: milligrams per millilitre, weight-based dosing, IV flow rates, and drop factors.
- Reading ComprehensionMain idea, supporting detail, inference, an author's purpose, and tone — reading a passage for what it actually says.
- VocabularyWord meaning in context, the word parts that build medical terms, and the science vocabulary a health program uses.
- GrammarSubject–verb agreement, pronoun reference, punctuation, usage, and sentence structure.
- BiologyCells and their organelles, DNA and inheritance, mitosis and meiosis, and the basic principles of metabolism.
- ChemistryAtomic structure, bonding, chemical reactions, solutions, acids and bases, and the maths of concentration.
- Anatomy and PhysiologyThe body's systems: their organs, what each one does, and how they work together.

About the HESI A2
The HESI A2 is the HESI Admission Assessment (A2) Exam, an entrance exam that nursing and allied-health programs use as one part of their admissions process. HESI's own review book walks a candidate through seven areas — mathematics, reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, biology, chemistry, and anatomy and physiology — and each program decides which of those sections its applicants take.
