I have decided my approach is to do the best I can with these, deliberate on each choice for a reasonable amount of time, then move on to the next question. If you allow yourself to get caught up in them, you will be cutting yourself out of a lot of time you could have been answering other questions.
I dunno why, but I never really minded these. I would get most of them right in school...I think a big part of it is the mindset you have about them. I had 19 on my Nclex and they were all pretty basic, things about teaching, signs and symptoms. If you know the signs and symptoms of a disease, or the interventions for certain situations...it should actually be EASIER to pick out more than 1, instead of picking the "priority". If you are given 4 choices that all seem "correct", and you have to pick the MOST correct..that's more thinking than picking out 2 or 3 or 4 symptoms, and saying oh yes, this 5th and 6th choice aren't true. Think of it kind of like those questions that say, "which indicate further teaching"...focus on picking out the ones that aren't true, at least that's what I do.
Yes, I agree with caliotter3. Don't spend too much time with those. I think there are more chances of getting it wrong if you think too much. Read the answers ounce, make a decision whether they apply or not and move on. It's important to keep a certain pace with those. But I agree, they are very hard.

Any advice on these? I cannot seem to get them correct! Any specific book that helped with these? On the actual NCLEX how hard were the SATA?
