Counting question types during exam

[Jules A, MSN]

I keep seeing posts saying things like "I had 32 SATAs, 8 priorities, 4 math on NCLEX" and I'm wondering are you actually counting the question types? It has to take away from your focus. I know that I had two math questions because, well, 2 isn't that hard to remember but couldn't tell you how many SATAs I had although it felt like a hundred. Having a tight focus is so important, imo. A truck could have driven into the front of the building and I swear I wouldn't have blinked unless it pushed me off my chair, lol.

Just thought I would share that and even though I admit I was totally obsessed with getting the minimum number of questions I only checked 3 times.

Some people do count what sort of questions they get, it took all my time to sit there and not stress at the questions never mind remember ones so I could look at the answers afterwards. I made a deal with myself not to even get the books out after the test as nothing I would do would change the results
