Nursing entrance exam prep: TEAS 7, HESI A2, and NLN NEX practice
Nursing Exams · 5 courses with practice quizzes
Nursing programs use admissions exams to measure reading, math, science, and language skills before clinical coursework. This hub links every nursing course on Poker Exams, including section study guides where published.
What Nursing Exams covers
Nursing schools rarely accept a single score type for every campus. TEAS 7 is common for allied health and nursing BSN programs; HESI A2 is modular by campus; NLN NEX requires all three sections in one sitting.
Who should use nursing exam practice here
- Pre-nursing students applying to ADN, BSN, or accelerated programs
- Applicants retaking TEAS or HESI after missing a cutoff score
- Tutors and advisors pointing students to structured free practice
A practical nursing prep workflow
- Confirm which exam and sections your program requires
- Start with the course page for your exam, then open section guides for timing and topic lists
- Alternate full-length practice with targeted subject quizzes

Section study guides
Strategies that match nursing admissions exams
- Science and math reward steady daily study more than one cram weekend.
- Reading sections improve when you practice under a real timer, not only untimed passages.
- English and grammar sections punish rushing—read full sentences before judging underlines.
Common prep mistakes in this category
- Studying TEAS materials when your campus requires HESI (or the reverse)
- Skipping science because your GPA is strong—admissions exams still gate enrollment
- Leaving official registration until after your first practice test
