Free HESI A2 Practice Test
You can practice HESI A2 questions free, every day, with a written rationale on every answer — by section, or as a full-length mock across whichever sections your program requires.
The HESI A2 is not one fixed test
This is the single biggest difference from other entrance exams: your school chooses which sections you sit. Most programs require Math, Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary and Grammar, and many add Anatomy & Physiology. Biology, Chemistry and Physics appear less often.
Check your program's requirements before you build a study plan. Studying Chemistry for a test that does not include it is wasted time, and missing A&P because you assumed it was optional is worse.
| Section | Questions | Commonly required? |
|---|---|---|
| Mathematics | 50 | Almost always |
| Reading Comprehension | 47 | Almost always |
| Vocabulary & General Knowledge | 50 | Almost always |
| Grammar | 50 | Very common |
| Anatomy & Physiology | 25 | Common |
| Biology / Chemistry / Physics | 25 each | Program dependent |
Where most people lose marks
Vocabulary and Anatomy & Physiology are the two sections that reward memorization most directly, and they are where a few focused weeks move a score furthest. Math is almost entirely arithmetic, ratios, percentages and conversions — there is no advanced algebra to be afraid of.

Questions people ask
Is the HESI A2 practice test free?
Practice questions in CinnaEntry are free every day, with a written rationale on every answer. Unlimited practice and full-length mocks are part of Premium.
How many sections are on the HESI A2?
Up to eight, but your program selects which ones you sit. Math, Reading, Vocabulary and Grammar are the most commonly required.
Is the HESI A2 harder than the TEAS?
Neither is harder overall. The HESI A2 goes deeper on vocabulary and anatomy; the TEAS 7 puts more weight on science reasoning and is strictly timed as one sitting.
Can I use a calculator on the HESI A2?
Yes, an on-screen calculator is provided.
How long should I study for the HESI A2?
Four to six weeks of consistent daily practice is typical for someone starting from a reasonable base. Two weeks is possible if you are only sitting two or three sections.
