The strategy is to treat SATA as true/false in order to choose the best answers.

Have you tried practicing SATA questions? LaCharity is a good source to start with.

Also, Saunders has a SATA CD. The more you do the more comfortable you will become.

What LadyFree said--treat SATA like 4 or 5 separate questions and then they're nothing special...

I just did 100 SATA from Saunders I loved them all... There's rationals with strategy.. Always eliminate distraction such as always, immediately... Focus on the stem of questions only.. do not rush to pick answers.. Good luck!

I agree with treating the question like separate questions. One of my professors suggested reading the question and they applying the question to each of the answers. Each answer that fits in with the question becomes a choice. Best of luck!

That's the trick to the SATA questions. Treat each answer as a T/F... and it must be 100% true for it to be correct. What I mean by "true" is that it satisfies the question being asked. They really and truly are nothing more than series of T/F statements regarding a single question. You just select it if it's true and leave it blank (unselected) if any part of it is not true.
