SATA help

[marilynmom, LPN, NP]

Gosh darn it. I am not doing well with the SATA practice questions!

How do I study for those??? Do I need to know content more for those or is there another trick?? That seems to be the only type of question that I am struggling to correctly answer consistently.

bumping, because I have the same problem, is there a book that focuses on these type of questions?

What are some tips to answering these types of questions?

According to the Hurst Review book, which is very good as far as strategies on answering certain types of questions, suggests that when you come across a SATA type question you read each answer alone as a true or false statement. It has helped me immensely to break down the questions that way. I seem to get more right than I used to although I still do get a few wrong. If my explanation doesn't help, pick up the book, there really are some great pointers in there and the review on pharmacology is worth it alone.

I have never heard about the true/ false tactic before but it sounds very helpful! Thanks so much for sharing.

The true-false statement thing works. I had a ton of SATA on my NCLEX, I don't remember how many but it was a lot. I used the true/false tactic with them all and apparently it worked since I passed.
