6. ADMISSION TESTING
To be eligible for selections, students must have successfully passed the HESI Admission Assessment (Reading
>79%; Math >75%; Grammar >75%) before completing the online application to the program.
All sections must be passed on the same test. If students tested at TVCC, HSC staff has access to the scores. If
students tested elsewhere, they will need to contact Evolve at 1-800-950-2728, ext. 6918 or 6947, and request a
testing transcript be sent to the HSC counselor in Kaufman.
The HESI A2 consists of reading, math and grammar sections as well as learning style, personality profile and
behavioral inventory sections. These additional sections will provide valuable information should you get selected
into a health occupations program. Students are encouraged to take the Anatomy & Physiology section to assess
current A&P knowledge.
The HESI Admission Assessment will be offered at TVCC through the Testing Center. In 2017 – 2018, the test will
cost $55. The testing dates, locations and sign-up procedures will be posted on the TVCC Testing Center website
at
. The testing registration form can be downloaded from the Testing Center website and
mailed or submitted in person to the Testing Center in Athens or the counseling offices at the other TVCC
campuses.
At TVCC, students may take the HESI Admission Assessment only two times in an academic year between
September 1 and August 31 (first-time and one re-test). The student must wait at least two months before re-
testing at TVCC. Keep this and the application deadlines in mind when scheduling to take the test for the first
time. Students may take the test more often at other colleges.
Once minimum scores are earned in reading, math and grammar, these are the scores that will be considered for
selection purposes. There is no expiration date. Students who tested before June 2017 will be permitted to test
one additional time, even if the minimum scores were reached previously. TEAS V scores will no longer be
accepted.
