I have La Charity book too. I find it kind of hard compare from saundars and exam cram. For NCLEX PN is that important to review too?

Personally, I thought the SATA were challenging but to be honest just read each statement as if it were true/false and you will do great. Just remember everyone gets diff SATA depending on their performance don't stress much remember you have already learned all of the content during nursing program and trust me you will be able to answer those questions

Yes, Im starting with the basic content first and its helping a lot in answering the questions, ya!

I'm doing a little better with these questions. A lot of it comes down to content, and normally I'm sitting teetering on one last answer on whether it's true or not. I tend to confuse myself and/or panic when I can't remember everything about a condition immediately, which I know I shouldn't do. Old habits die hard I guess! One week left until test day.

Congrats to those who passed, and good luck to those who've yet to test!!

Yes, its all about content....gotta know material of subject to answer the right choice / rational. Reading basic content helps....takes a while :)

I took mine 6/27, and at least half out of 75 were SATA, and another 25% were alternate format questions. The key, like others have said, is to look at them as a series of true/false statements rather than a grouping. Makes them a lot easier to tackle!

And from everything I've read, if you are getting a ton of SATA, you are well above the passing level. Good luck!

I just recently passed at 75 questions and I had quite a few SATA that I am not very good at. I checked in my books on some of them after I got done and know I got some wrong by either just missing one or picking one too many. You CAN still pass the NCLEX with failing those. I did not do much studying at all because for one I am a procrastinator and hate studying and two a friend who had already taken it said not to study too hard. Most of it is not about being able to spew out facts. If you do any studying I would suggest sticking mainly to books which show you how to break down the questions and answer them. Another friend who passed said there really is not much you can do to prepare for this beast of an exam. I have never taken a test like it. Good luck!

I agree manzi_fly. I took the test on June 26th and found out I passed at 75 ?s. I didn't do much studying because honestly the test is not so much about spewing out facts but more about critical thinking. You have already built up a knowledge base in school and there is no way to cover all the content there could possibly be on the NCLEX. If anything study how to break down questions and if there is an organ system or specialized area such as peds or OB that you are terrible at perhaps just go over that. After taking that test feeling like I guessed on all of them I don't know if there is way to prepare for it except drawing upon what you have already learned. I am glad I never have to take that test again!

BTW I got quite a few SATA, cardiac, one OB and several on pediatrics.
