What students say about Prepia for the HESI A2
“I used this app for almost 3 weeks to prepare for the Hesi A2. It was very helpful I wanted to just past and did 20- 30 questions 5-6 days a week. I'm a single parent with 2 toddlers so it is not easy to study. I was able to pass my Hesi today with a 77% score.”
“…This app brakes down the information in a way that’s easily understood, in turn giving me added confidence.”
MorenazHESI A2
“…I did not require the anatomy/physio for my hesi a2, however, with less than 24 hours to study I passed. Was worth it.”
Michelle WestHESI A2 · Passed
“Great prep. Passed with over 92% on everything. Two things it doesn't cover: 1) gallons/pints/cups to ounces, so be sure to brush up on your conversions! 2) Critical thinking! Find something to help you prep on this as well.”
Elise WheatonHESI A2 · Passed with over 92%
“I don't know if it's because of the app that I passed with an 80%. I passed it on my first try though! So I'll take, thank you!”
