The HESI grammar test is designed to measure your ability to identify and correct errors in English grammar, punctuation, and usage. The test focuses on eight main topics: Sentence Structure, Modifiers, Verbs and Tenses, Nouns and Pronouns, Agreement, Parallel Structure, Modifiers and Comparisons, and Others.

For each topic, the test will present a passage to you with errors in it. You must find and correct the errors using the answer choices provided. You will have 45 minutes to complete the questions, and the test is graded on a scale of 0 to 100.

To maximize your score, it’s important to practice the types of questions that are encountered on the HESI grammar test. Make sure you have a thorough understanding both of the rules of English grammar and of the way they are tested on the test. In addition, time your practice so you can become familiar with the pace and format of the actual test.
