Trust me, I'm HORRIBLE at SATA and I actually thought the SATA on NCLEX wasn't that bad! It wasn't like Kaplan or Saunders.

I am also REALLY terrible at SATA. It seemed like every third question was a SATA, which really adds up when you end up with 220+ questions like me. ;) But I also thought that they overall weren't that bad compared to what I had been practicing on. Just if you have a tendency to second guess yourself into the wrong answer, don't do it! Just keep practicing!

For SATA questions, what book or CD are you reviewing? Not much, books or CDs have a bunch of SATA.

I just got my quick results today. I had 75 questions, about 30 of them were SATA. I didn't even read the SATA questions. Just clicked 2 random boxes for each one and moved on. Didn't want to waste any time on them because I knew the chances of getting SATA questions correct are extremely small. Out of all those SATA questions, I may have gotten only 1 or 2 right. But the way I think the test works is if you get a lot of SATA, that's a good thing. It means that you are correctly answering questions in the the highest level of difficulty. As long as you continue to do well on the multiple choice, and don't sweat the SATA, you will pass. Some people might disagree with me, but that's only way I can explain my passing. Certainly, we can all agree that SATA is the most difficult kind of question simply due to the fact that one SATA is actually composed of 5 true/false questions, and if you miss any part, you miss all. When I left the PV building after my test, I felt cheated because almost half my test was SATA! I was absolutely certain that I had failed that exam. I came home did the PV trick and got the good pop up. Just now I got quick results. PASS!!! Hope that helps anyone worried about select all that apply questions. I would question anyone that says NCLEX is easy, simply because everyone technically gets a score of only 50%. Its the level of difficulty that you are able to maintain the 50% score which determines pass / fail. Anyone who says the exam was easy, was probably missing a lot more of the questions than they realize.
