NCLEX experience March 2015

I have been reading through pages on here about passing the NCLEX-RN in 75 questions so I wanted to post my experience.

I took the exam on 3/26 and I finished in 75 questions. I didn't feel the questions were that tough which made me nervous. I finished in an hour and a half and didn't know how I did.

When I came home I started talking to friends who took it the day before and of course searching this site. From what I found my friends who ended in 75 questions had 20-40 SATA and no math. I read multiple places that SATA are higher level questions and if your not getting a lot you're not doing well. And math are supposedly lower level.I am here to tell you do not believe that! I finished in 75 with only 13 SATA, 3 math and 3 EKGs.

I studied for 3 weeks and soley depended on Hurst review. Highly recccomend!! Good luck to all of you!

    Congrats!

    BTW, anyone who understands how this test works (CAT) will know that the number of SATA questions one gets means nothing. They can be higher level OR lower level questions. They can be above the passing standard....or below it. You can get many or few. No indication in ANY WAY how the test taker is doing. Probably one of the biggest NCLEX-related myths out there.

    Welcome to the fold :D

    Congratulations! It is nice to hear there are not always a lot of SATA, since it seems those would be the trickiest.

    I was hoping the SATA bit was true. I had 1 math question and some how a bajillion SATA questions. Lots of delegation, and teaching fellow nurses about procedures and patient prioritizations as well. :\

    Sorry not trying to make you nervous! My friends who also passed in 75 questions did have a lot of SATA. Just wanted to let everyone know it's not always the case:)
