    Jack_ICU replied to acmRN9317's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You may be surprised about how well you did on the test. Recently most people who got 10-30 SATAs on their test passed. Don't worry about the number of SATAs you got on your test. Actually it may play...

  12. What are considered higher level questions

    Jack_ICU replied to CalypsoRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Jack_ICU replied to 4ever_heaven's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Based on my experience, I believe that there may be a misconception about SATAs. The fact that some people get many SATAs may actually play in their favor. During my test; also one of my friends had a...
