NCLEX-PN Stopped at 85 and had 33 SATA questions..

Memoreeze · Sep 9, 2011

I did not keep an accurate count, but out of my 85 questions I had ALOT of SATA. They were generally every third question, but several times there would be two in a row. I'm thinking I had around 25 or 30. In fact, they were so frequent that once when I had 4 regular questions in a row I got nervous, like where did my higher-end questions go!

Try the PVT, the odds are that you are going to be very pleasantly surprised! :)

A lot of SATA actually means you are doing well. I wish you the best. have you tried the PVT?

I just dont feel did well on the test...Isnt it i missed few of the sata questions that why I got more of 'em??? too scared to do PVT..

Well, my friend, in this case you have two options:

1) Do the PVT and know one way or the other. You will either celebrate and feel tons better, or you will know you need to get back to the books.

2) If you don't want to do the PVT, your only other choice is to STOP thinking about it and put it out of your head. Since I personally found this to be impossible (though some people can do it) and to me you sound like you are still stressing about it, I refer you back to option 1.

Remember, we can't predict this test, everyone's test is completely different, and we have no idea how they score these things or even which questions counted toward our score. You may very well have done much better than you are thinking. Most people do!

If you do the PVT, let us know how you did! You could be all smiles today!!! :nurse:

Exact same situation here. Stopped at 85 on the PN Nclex. Also, had A LOT of satas. I'm impressed you kept track of how many you had lol, the test was a big blur afterward for me. I did the PVT and I got the good pop up so hoping for the best. It was my 2nd time taking it and the first I had 205 questions and no a lot of sata so.....

Do the trick!
