NCLEX Select all that Apply

[Kami675]

Hello everyone, quick question in regards to the NCLEX Select all that Apply. I was curious as to how difficult they were and what grouping of content was involved with them. Were they mainly pathophysiology, pharmacology, and most importantly did you find them very difficult lets say compared to uWorld or Hurst or Kaplan.

thanks in advance,

I had SATA in just about every category on my test. If there's a multiple choice, there's a SATA. They ranged from ethical/legal to even having an EKG.

I used kaplan to prep and found the nclex SATA much fairer. If you knew what you were looking for, the question was fine. It certainly wasn't "easy" but I didn't have any of those subjective questions that kaplan gave. It was either things to look for, what to do, or examples of a term (this terrified me because of blooms taxonomy).

It was frustrating at times but kaplan definitely helped me get through the tons of SATA. It gets a lot of flack for its alternate format but believe me it has tons.

The nclex is simple and most of the questions are about a sentence. I didn't get any wacky scenarios or meds that looked like a cat walked on the keyboard. I felt it had some hard questions, but I didn't know if the content was actually hard or I didn't adequately prepare.

Uworld was the best resource out there what could possibly help.

FUSTUDENT, did you do LIVE review or self pace?
