I had a LOT of SATA's. I'd say close to 40%. Those were the only alt type questions that I had. It was quite difficult. More-so than I had imagined. I took the NCLEX PN 14 years ago and passed with 85 questions.

I took it ASAP, about 1 month after graduation (Jan 8th). I did not study at all (I couldn't - my brain wouldn't accept any information). Didn't take any reviews.

Good luck to all those getting ready to take it.

Mine was a lot of select all as well - and tons of meds! I had 75 questions and finished in under 30 min - I've always taken tests super fast. The 'trick' didn't work for me because my results were flagged bc I tested so fast... Took a few days! Congrats to you!!!!!!!

WOW!!! I was out in 70 mins, but 40-50??? I guess I could've been in the same boat if I didn't spend 15 minutes doing a guided imagery exercise! :) lol..either way, congrats!!!

PS: SATA was about 45% for me...don't ask me what questions they were, just knew they were ALL a blur!!!

I like the ordered ones... but didn't have any. I despise SATAs, so I was in shock when it shut off at 75 questions.

Like Bubblejet, i figured if I didn't know it, I wasn't going to get it...

WOW, MrsP, that is amazing. I thought I was quick. I was usually the 2nd or 3rd person in my class to finish a test, sometimes the first. I got pretty quick. With the NCLEX, I did take a bit more time to read and make sure I didn't misread and didn't miss that critical... which do you NOT do... and such.

LadyFree, I hear ya... I don't think I could remember a single question if I tried!!

Thanks, and good luck to those getting ready to take it!

Congrats on passing! I hope thats me in 12 days! Im really freaking out. I'm doing 100-150 questions a day from Kaplan and reading every rationale. And scanning unfamiliar procedures/drugs. I hope thats enough for me to pass the exam! im taking my readiness test on Sunday. The anxiety is building up!! :| :nailbiting:

Good luck. Sometimes, imho, it is better to give your brain a rest and let it absorb everything you've been cramming in there. Some people just study up until they walk in the door. To each his own. Haha! Regardless, I wish you the best of luck. Come back and let me know how you did. And, thanks for the congrats.
