Well I took the test yesterday, and I'm sorta stressing but I think I passed. In 75 questions I got over 10 "select all that apply answers"!! Most of them had 6 choices but two or three had 5 choices. I probably got them all wrong, but overall I think passed. We'll see soon!!

You wont know till Monday and will spend all weekend looking up questions and wondering.
Endulge in an as many chocolate bunnies as you can get in, it will help!!!
I also had a handful of select all that apply, on two of them I selected every single option. They all seemed to work.
I passed and if you prepared and did lots of practice questions you most likely did too. 85% of new grads pass on their 1st attempt.

"on two of them I selected every single option. They all seemed to work."What do u mean? I am scking at SATA :stone Please share tips for SATA questions. Thanks
10 :uhoh21: All best wishes and positive vibes/thoughts ur way.
all the choices I was given to chose from seemed to work. so I selected all of them. There is no rule that says SATA means only pick a few, so I picked them all, I will never know if I got them right or not. I kind of wished I could see my overall score for Nclex, call me obsessive, but I really wish I knew my score.
When your faced with a SATA question I just put T or F next to each choice. I look at each one on its own and not in conjunction with the other choices, can i do this? T or F.
I dont have any tips for Nclex other than do as many test questions as you humanly can do. Do them until you feel like you can not retain anything else, then stop and take your boards.
I think so many people get on here and for what reason or the other they stress each other out. Fact is 85% of people that take Nclex pass. Nclex is basically a 51% test. You need to get more right than wrong.
I think the anticipation is worse than the actual test. Prepare as much as you can and know you have done everything possible to prepare, it is all there, you made it out of nursing school.
Best of luck to all who still have to take it, it is stressful. But it is doable.
Despite all the SATA questions, I passed!! You guys can do it.. just review content and do the practice questions. I would recommend doing practice questions from multiple sources, instead of just doing Kaplan or Saunders... do them on websites, from your textbooks, from a review book, and wherever you can find. GOOD LUCK
