who among here passed without sata and computation?
i'm totally freaking out.
i NEED to know that there are people here who passed without taking any sata and computations, and stopped at 75. it happened to me just today and i can't stop thinking about it.
i had mostly prioritization, infection control, but the prio drove me crazy!
HELP??

Well..... Can't say I passed but I took the test 2 days ago (14th) and it sounds like we're in the same boat. I also did not have any SATA or computation and stopped at 75. By question #65 I thought "Oh no, I am in for a long test because I have only received multiple choice questions." Then it stopped after 75. I am really worried (like everyone after the test) and am pretty much obsessed with finding out if I passed. From what I've heard it doesn't matter what type of questions you get. Good luck to both of us, I will let you know when I find out, hopefully by tomorrow afternoon.

Wow.. WHAT A TREND!
I took it today and had the same exact issue. I had only one SATA (mine as well have been none) on a med I had never heard of and zero med calcs?!?
I was sure I failed but maybe now that I see others are having the same problem .. maybe we all passed :)
Lets keep each other posted on our results. By the way, this is my second time .. I failed last time with 76 questions so I freaked when it stopped this morning at 75. ugh
I'll be praying for us

This girl at my school had 71 SATA. I could not believe it. I did not think it was possible to have all these SATAs.

I only had 1 SATA and 1 calculation. Mostly Priority, drugs and diabetes.
I passed with 265!
After taking exam and passing I am a FIRM believer there is absolutley NO sense in thinking about passing or failing on how many questions you had. It is wasted energy! There is no relation!!!
Best of Luck!

Med calculations are actually something that you do not want to see on your exam in most cases. They are very aware that you had to pass a medication exam before you were permitted to continue on with your program. The NCLEX exam is not interested in what you were already tested on if you look at it that way. It wants to know what you will do with the information that you already have in your head. That is why getting priority type questions are what you wish to see.
SATA questions are only a format style and do not determine anything more than that.
Best of luck while you wait for your results.
actually i have a friend who also took it the same day i did who made it up to 265 q's with no sata! i guess it really is a trend. too bad we're under CA BON. i really wish they'd participate in the quickresults. so we'll let you know about the results in about a month.
Wow! Congratulations!
You still are not going to have a license issued, only a letter that will tell you if you passed or not. Please be aware that this letter is only valid for three years and then the file is destroyed if you do not present them with a SSN#.
Suggest that you have a good read on the International Forum about what you will have to do to keep your results valid.
Best of luck to you.
And actually only about 27 states participate in Quick Results.

Hi! I took my exam last October 14 and found out today that I passed (via Quick Results). I stopped at 75 questions and have NO SATA and NO COMPUTATIONS.
What really matters is that you answered the last question correctly which would give you a higher chance of passing. (I knew my last answer is correct^^)
Never lose hope. Just have faith =)

Sorry, but getting the last question correct or incorrect has absolutely no bearing on determining results of this exam.
All that write it are going to be getting 50% correct and 50% incorrect. It is the level where the majority of the correct answers are at that determines passing.
And thanks for posting about passing without any SATA questions or math questions; this just backs up what we have been saying here.
Best of luck to you as you begin your new career.
