Hey everyone, I had all 130 questions on my exam. Has anyone ended their exam with a SATA and passed? I am waiting for quick results!

It’s been a while since I took my test. But, SATA can be above passing or below... so the type of question (SATA specifically) doesn’t necessarily determine anything... if I’m saying that correctly.
On average, most students pass on the 1st try. You can pass or fail at any number. I'm sure you did great!

Thank you. I didn’t know that cause people be saying SATAs are above the line and if your get them back to back you got them right. Urgh the theories. So that’s why I asked ?
You're welcome. And according to the website 89.6% of US educated students pass on their first try for 2020.

This also talks about the questions and passing...

When I did take it, I got about 45/75 questions that were SATA. I do believe my last question was one.
But, how I tried to explain it is... the SATA questions were obviously above the passing standard, hence why I passed... if the SATAs were below the passing standard, I would have failed. Just being asked a SATA question doesn’t tell you if it’s above or below the passing standard, if that makes sense...
Please let us know the results! Try to relax unwind and enjoy!

I am in Michigan and took my RN NCLEX today Sat. 6/20 at 630am.
I got all 130 questions! I don't think I passed bc I barely got any SATA questions....
I did the PVT and got the notification :
" The payment was declined. Reason: contact your credit card company or use a different credit card. " ?

I don’t believe the PVT is as accurate as it once was. There’s still hope. Keep us posted.
Did you try using a different credit card?

Don't give up hope just yet. I believe I have read quite a few people on here that when going all the way to 130, the "bad pop up" turned out to be wrong for them.
Thank u so much! I hope (really hope) this turns out positive for me. I will let u know tomorrow. I decided not to pay for quick results bc I will probably find out at the same time.... ( most likely tomorrow at 4pm).
Will keep u updated ?
