Specializes in Liver/kidney transplant, Cath Lab.

just took it. I went 125. had SATA's, 2 med maths, hot spot for ekg's, put in priority order (using all options) and alot of delegations and prioritizing. And I don't know how I did. It tested me up the wazoo with pharm pharm pharm, not to mention infection control. I don't know how I did but I hope the good Lord upstairs can help me out here.

Suzanne said that having alot of med cals arent good. Does having 2 med calcs bad?

last questions was a pharm question. Thought it would keep on going, but it didnt. I pounded my fists and walked out think why ending this early? Did i do that poorly?

pray for me and please send the thoughts over here.

Good luck to all who are waiting

Believe me I know but try not to stress too much about what the various questions were, the test is done with and stressing out over the questions will not make the results any different. I am keeping my fingers crossed for everyone

Math calculations are not usually considered a higher level but at times they can be, depends on what is being asked in them. What you want to see are priority type questions, these are at the higher level.

SATA questions are only format style and do not determine alone what level the question is considered at.

There is no way for any of you to try to second guess your results, they are looking to see at what level that you got the majority of your correct answers at; this is how they determine if one passes or does not.

Best of luck to all of you.

What does Suzanne mean when she says SATA are only format questions? Can anyone give me an example what SATA is?

I need to practice priority questions too. Any suggestions on those?

SATA are just another type of question. The answer could result in all answers needing selection as they all apply or just 1, 2 or 3 are required
