How many SATA ?'s did you get?

Published

Since I am waiting on pins and needles for the next two days I thought I would ask so I can obsess. :bugeyes:

I got fifteen SATA! They just kept popping up usually one right after another.

I only had 3-4 SATAs. Does it mean I failed? I've been reading that SATAs are "higher level" questions. SO if you get a lot, it means you passed?

Having SATA included in your NCLEX questions is not an indication of high level questions and/or a prediction that you have a higher chance of passing such an exam. i know it is easier said than done but please don't panic and just pray that you will manage to pass the said exam.

i was told that if majority of the questions concerns prioritization and delegations, you are indeed in the good tract. but as what i stated, the result whether you make it or not is still not that predictable so better wait. God bless u!

SATA is just another type of questions, some may get none and some get many but all depends on the computer and your answers to questions

I took the exam on monday and nearly 80% of my test was "SATA" -- I've never seen anything like it. No way I passed that... Here's hoping no one got/will get a test like mine!

80%??? That is like a nightmare!

Hope you did well!

Thanks Theresa...It was impossible. I didn't even freak out. I just walked out of the exam and was thinking "well ok, I'll get a job as a tattoo artist until I pass." after reading how everyone feels walking out, I am more hopeful.

Thanks again!! Not sure what I'd be doing without the support from this site. Probably drinking.

80%?? Ughh. I thought mine was bad. I had a good 20 or so SATA and my test shut off at 75. I had a bunch of prioritization, delegation, infection control, a few drugs, and only one calculation. Other than the calc I had no other FITB. I didn't get any exhibit or other alternate questions.

Ha ha that's funny!!:chuckle I walked out of the exam thinking, " I guess being a truck driver wouldn't be that bad of a career." Hopefully, that won't have to happen for either of us and tomorrow I'll find out i passed and can take their number out of speed dial.:D
