Ok I am having trouble with the SATA questions. I always either miss by 1 many or less. Does anyone have a great tip on how to answer these types of questions. I need all the help I can get.

One of the 'regulars' here (Beachy? not sure) had a great post about dealing with SATA. The general gist was that you should view the answers as 'True/False' type questions; if an answer is TRUE specific to the question asked, it's one of the correct choices. If it's FALSE when applied individually, specifically to the question, it's NOT one of the correct choices.
I know I'm doing disservice to that explanation....whoever it was that gave the example of the rainbow colors as a SATA question....could you do it again? :)

Practice practice practice. SATA is mostly everyone's weakness because they are difficult. As the post above said, treat them as true or false. You'll need to know content to be able to do this. During NCLEX, I felt that the SATA were very straight forward and not as hard as others that I have seen.
