Hardly any SATA, mostly multiple choice, Did I fail?

Published

I took my NCLEX today and it shut off at 75 questions and I'm terrified. Everyone I hear from had so many more SATA questions and I had a small handful, probably less than 10. Is there any chance that I passed?

Definitely a chance you passed! My friend took it last Monday and only had 10 SATA and passed. I took it today, 75 questions with 15 SATA, hoping for a pass on Friday! Good luck!

Oh wow that makes me feel better. All my classmates have been posting that they had tons of SATA and I've been in panic mode!

I had less than ten SATA and passed with 75 questions. The number of SATA questions is not an indication of passing or failing.

Alternate format doesn't necessarily mean harder. I had maybe 10 SATA. And half of them were easy. My multiple choice were way harder. Passed in 75.

I only got 6 SATA and passed in 75, don't buy into the whole "more SATA means you're doing well" thing

I feel much better. I thought SATA questions were in the higher level so when I only had ten yesterday on my NCLeX it scared me. My computer shut off at 75. A friend told me Kaplan said the number of SATA does not indicate anything. Whew. Lol.

I'll reiterate this as well, I finished with 75 questions, had roughly 5-8 SATA and passed, I did have a ton of priority questions to make up for that though.
