HESI A2 scores, explained
Your results show how you did in each section you took. Each nursing program sets the minimum it needs, often for each section as well as overall.
| Passing score | None: each program sets its own |
|---|---|
| Section minimums | Many programs set one for each required section |
| Example | One community college asks for 75% in A&P, Vocabulary, Reading and Math for its ADN program |
What programs look at
- The sections they require, and a minimum for each.
- Sometimes an overall or composite score.
- How many attempts they accept and how recent the scores must be.
What a practice exam can tell you
A practice exam shows how many questions you got right in each section, so you can see which section is below your program's bar. It cannot produce an official HESI score.

Questions people ask
What is a good HESI A2 score?
A good score is one that clears your program's minimum in every section it requires. Programs publish their own numbers; one example asks for 75% in four sections for its ADN program and 70% for its practical nursing program.
Can I retake the HESI A2?
Retake rules are set by each program, including how many attempts count and how long you must wait. Check your program's admission page.
