Questions people ask
- Can you fail the HESI A2 personality or learning style test?
- No. Neither part is scored, and neither counts toward your cumulative score. There are no right or wrong answers, so answer honestly and move on.
- Do nursing schools use the personality profile for admission?
- Schools that include these parts use them for your own reflection and advising, not for admission cutoffs. Check your program’s admissions page to see which HESI A2 sections it requires.
- What is on the HESI A2 learning style section?
- About 14 questions in 15 minutes about how you like to take in new information, such as seeing it, hearing it, or trying it yourself. You get a short report of your preferences.
- Is this the real HESI A2 inventory?
- No. Ours is a short, original quiz written for NurseSavvy. The personality items come from the public-domain International Personality Item Pool. It shows what these parts feel like and turns your answers into study tips.
