Let me explain something to you guys so that you can understand why I’m saying all of this. When you take an exam, whether or not it’s going to be practical or theoretical, you have to study. You have to study some more! If you don’t do that, then you can’t expect to pass the exam. So, no matter how good a review you have, if you don’t get into the nitty gritty of studying and learning the fundamentals, you will fail.
Now, what I mean by the fundamentals is when it comes to nursing. In other words, the HESI fundamentals review is more on the theory side. What I found is that when I started reading through the HESI fundamentals, everything just seemed so, well, simple. Then I started looking at the problems and I realized that the authors of the book were, for the most part, not capable of writing a good set of nursing fundamentals.
What I mean is that, they wrote the HESI fundamentals review to simply give you a review. Meaning, that you already know all the questions that will be on the exam. Meaning, that if you have already taken the test, you have done all of the work for yourself. It’s like putting in the drywall before you even put up the wall covering the room.
So, you either take the fundamentals review or you learn the fundamentals first. When you take the fundamentals review, you will already know where to find your answers, you will know the right format to write the answers to the questions, and you will probably already know how to answer the questions. You also know where to take notes or how to formulate your response. You also know what to do to prepare for the exam. The bottom line is that you already know how to prepare for the exam.
When you study HESI fundamentals, you take a much deeper dive into the concepts. You start to understand what the real world applications are for HESI. You start getting into the real nitty gritty of answering real questions that are going to occur on the exam. Most people do not get this far with HESI without some sort of preparation. They go back and forth between studying and practice until they forget that they even took a class to begin with.
The best way to get ready for the exam is to take a course. This does not mean that you have to take a four year degree. There are many different HESI fundamentals courses out there, ranging from beginner classes to more advanced levels of courses. Take some time and choose one that fits your learning style. You might find that with a little more practice you end up being able to do the fundamentals better than you thought you could.
If you cannot take a fundamentals course, there are a lot of books that you can read and study online that will cover the topics. Some of these books will give you practice tests to use that will show you what you need to study. You can purchase a copy of the official HESI fundamentals book, which will help you get started. You can also purchase an e-book that has the fundamentals as well as the practice exams. Once you have gotten the material together, you will be ready to take the test that will prove to the school that you are ready to become a Certified High School English Teacher. You can become a CELTA certified English teacher by taking the practice exam that is included with the HESI fundamentals book.
