About the HESI
Completion of the HESI Admission Assessment™
(AČ) is a part of the requirements for consideration for admission to the
Chipola College Nursing Program.
The HESI is administered in the Testing Center (Room 149) in the Student Services Building (A).
The HESI is a computerized test. Test takers should allow approximately two (2) hours to complete the examination.
Candidates need to be aware that each question has a different point value. It is to your advantage to supply an answer for each question, but keep in mind when receiving your scores that two individuals who have the same number of correct answers may earn a different overall score based on the weight of the test questions they answered correctly.
The HESI Study Guide is available in the Chipola bookstore. Study guides may be ordered directly from HESI by calling 1-800-545-2522. The cost is $25.00 plus shipping charges.
