Prepare for HESI, TEAS, and science prerequisites with tips, strategies, and resources from Dr. Sobhanian.
The HESI (Health Education Systems, Inc.) Admission Assessment is required by many nursing and allied health programs. It tests:
Dr. Sobhanian's tip: Focus your A&P review on the cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous systems — they're heavily tested.
The ATI TEAS (Test of Essential Academic Skills) is the most widely used nursing school entrance exam. Science section covers:
Dr. Sobhanian's tip: Master the organ systems first. Learn each system's organs, functions, and how they interact.
Review material across multiple sessions rather than cramming. Your brain retains information better when revisited after 1 day, 3 days, and 1 week.
Instead of rereading notes, close them and test yourself. Flashcards, practice questions, and self-quizzing build lasting memory.
Draw connections between related topics. Understanding how body systems interact (e.g., cardiovascular + respiratory) is essential for A&P.
Take full practice exams under test conditions. Build your pacing and reduce exam anxiety through repeated exposure.
Teaching concepts to others is one of the most effective learning strategies. If you can explain it, you know it.
Consolidation happens during sleep. Pulling an all-nighter before an exam hurts more than it helps — prioritize 7-8 hours.
