21 SATA questions on my NCLEX!

Published

Out of 75 questions, 21 were SATA... Ive never heard of someone getting so many. Is that even allowed??? A friend recomended that I contact the nursing board, and Im pretty anxious since I had so much difficulty with those types of questions during my studies.

Of course it's allowed.

I wouldn't recommend contacting the nursing board over this.

Let us know once you find out if you passed. Good luck!

There is no limit on how many SATA you get. It is not worth contacting the BON

Welcome and good luck

It does not matter one ioda how many questions you got or what kind of questions you got. The BON will just tell you to sit tight and wait for your results. Good Luck!

I had 18 SATAs on mine. I think having a bunch of SATAs is a good sign. :)

Out of 75 test items, I answered 23 SATA yesterday. I was sweating bullets because this format is so difficult for me. I am really worried about my results. I guess all the wondering will come to an end tomorrow.

I had a bunch of SATAs too. I lost count, there were so many. I know that I suck at answering SATAs. Tomorrow cannot come soon enough.

I had about 18 of my 75 SATA, and I passed :yeah: Just an FYI I was really bad at these in school so when I saw all of them I thought for sure I was getting them wrong and thats why I got so many. But I passed so keep the faith. Good luck

After reading through like 100 posts here i see that having many SATA could be a good thing, and its very common. I have yet to see a post where someone had a lot of SATA and the test shut off at 75 and they failed. Of course, it could be that the people dont want to post when they have failed! This whole process is one big mind game!
