NCLEX SATA

Published

Okay so I've heard through the grapevine that when you get SATA questions and say the answers are a b c and you only pick a and b not c that you get some credit for a and b???? Anyone know???

Specializes in 1st year Critical Care RN, not CCRN cert.

I took it today and it seemed like every other question was a Sata. Had to be more than 23 for me and stopped at 75 questions. I came home and did the pvt and got the good message. I think I passed and those SATA questions have always been a bane of testing for me.

When you take the NCLEX they are very clear that you do not get partial credit. You either get the question right or wrong. There is also no such thing as a certain set of options always being correct.

I had a ton of SATA, I would say at least half of the exam was SATA.

I am in an RN program with 2 semesters to go, however after the first year we are eligible to sit for the NCLEX PN. I took the exam on Monday and had 37!! SATA questions. It shut off at 85 which is the minimum number for the PN exam and just found out today that I passed! I did do the PVT and got the good pop up as well. That was a crazy number of SATA questions and I honestly wanted to cry while I was taking the test. Thought for sure I had failed.

I got tons of SATA on my 75? test on June 26 and I think that although you don't get partial credit that you get some kind of "credit" within the CAT system itself. Reason I say this is because I stink at SATA and there is no way I got many of those right. I think it is all or nothing in regard to whether you get it right or wrong but there is something in the system that gives you a partial credit in regard to difficulty and grading your competency.

Everyone gets a 50% on the NCLEX when they pass. Higher level questions are given when you are doing well.
