How to defeat the NCLEX- RN's SATA questions!!:(

Published

I graduated 6 yrs ago and had good jobs(not nursing). I'm a foreign educated nurse by the way. But my love for nursing is always there. So I decided to study and take it. I took it last May 30 and I failed. I was so discouraged and a little depressed. I just had too many SATAs..Any suggestions how to deal or overcome these questions? I hope there is a review center that will make you attend everyday for 3 months and have lectures and exams to help me refresh the concepts. My mind and heart is set to become an RN. :)

I used Saunders CD, and did exams formatted to use only the SATA to get myself ready. I had tons of SATA and felt comfortable with them. Good Luck!

hi i'm also scared on SATA questions but as long as you practice and know your content your good. when in doubt dont choose it. i used the saunder's practice questions on SATA and the nclex 3500 as well. when i took the exam i'm really nervous on the SATA but i keep on answering... you can do it.. pray sure it works 100%! by the way i also graduated 6 years ago from the philippines.. i attended excell nursing review in california drove all the way from washington state. :)

How does the excell nursing review in california goes? how long is the review? do you have classes everyday? Because I think that helps a lot plus answering online questions :)

Someone suggested from previous thread on looking given choices as either TRUE or FALSE. That seems to work for me. After analyzing each choices, ask if its T or F.

This is the best advice. Look at each option individually. And don't pay any attention to how many choices you check. I chose only one option for 2 different SATA questions on my boards a couple weeks ago. One of them I wasn't positive, but the other was a topic I knew VERY well and it was definitely only the one answer. Either way, I had about 50% SATA and I passed with 75 questions so something went right. Good luck!

Thanks for replying! Yeah its like for my first 75-80 questions, sata pops in every other number. I have to study nursing content more and do a lot of sata questions practice :)
