I just came back from taking the NCLEX... OMG I want to cry. The computer stopped at 165 questions and I got soooo many random questions, drugs i've never seen before, etc. (I was expecting those....still felt like I didn't do well, but I expected those) But what completely killed any shred of confidence I did have were the massive amount of SATA questions I got!!!!!! I got NO hotspot question, NO audio question, NO "put these in the right order" questions, etc. I got like 4 math questions but at least 40 to 50 (maybe 35 to 50) SATA questions!!!!! There were several times that I would get them sporadically, and then I would get 4 to 6 in a row!! Now SATA questions are probably the worst questions to get....you can miss one, get it all wrong...or choose only 1 more and it's wrong. I just KNOW I got tons of those wrong! Now I know the computer grades more on those type of questions. Do you think that will be held against me??? I just got so many of them that I just felt like for the amount of those I must have gotten wrong, it's not a good thing....and I could possible fail because of it. I feel horrible and a little angry at my "luck". :crying2:What are your opinions?
Oh, you poor baby! Things have gone from bad to worse when the test is like this.
I know! I wonder why my test format was somewhat weird, in terms of almost no variety. Way to go nclex....you gave me serious heart ache yesterday! But I'm still going to have faith.
speaking of variety on the NCLEX, I've sat around and thought about it and I am really disappointed in that test! I know my major body systems stuff and the meds that apply to them very well. Sill, I had no acid base questions, no parkinsons, no stroke, no spinal cord injury:crying2: that's all the stuff I know very well. I did have one burn percentage calculation, one SVT question, and one ICP question, but other than that, I found the content to be very disappointing and pretty much the same subject matter over and over ( thank God it was Psych....unless I didn't pass)
I did have a SATA question about arthroscopy of the knee though because we ALL know that's something that the majority of nurses are going to be seeing regularly.
I guess u guys are talking bout the nclex rn but I took the pn today and stopped at 85 questions and I had a lot of SATA as well...but I tried the PVT and got the good POP up so don't know if it was to early to check or what...wish me luck guys!!!

I've always been told that the more SATA you get the more likely you passed!
