HSRT Testing

Health Science Reasoning Test (HSRT)

The HSRT is a 50-minute, 35-question, multiple-choice, online exam designed to measure critical thinking skills that requires you to read information and respond to questions based on the reading. All information needed to answer the questions is in the reading, so there is no need for healthcare background information.

The HSRT can only be taken once per application cycle. Only the first exam will be considered with your application. Students are responsible for any additional charges.

Students applying to the Nursing and PTA programs at Anoka-Ramsey Community College (ARCC) must test through ARCC. Students applying to programs at another institution should check with their institution for program requirements.

For more details on HSRT testing guidelines, refer to Nursing and PTA application information:
