39 select all that apply on my NCLEX!!

Published

I'm so worked up, I got over 50% of select all that apply questions. I literally guessed on 90% of them! I had no maternity, dosage calc, or fluid and electrolytes and that is 75% of what I studied! I only got 75 questions and it shut off. I got a B in nursing school and felt pretty confident going in here but I'm sure I failed. I can remember 10 questions at least that I looked up the answer and it is incorrect. I'm so worked up :( I'm also so worried about being humiliated since my family, friends, and job knows I took it today. I am usually a smart cookie but this test made me feel ridiculously stupid. Please any encouraging words?? I wish I didn't have to wait over 24 hours to know for sure, it's killing me!

I too had over 50% select all that apply. Took it today, shut off at 75. Not once did I need the calculator. I feel like it was all priority questions. It was so weird. I got the good pop up though, but I guessed all the way through!

SATA questions are a great sign that you are doing good because the test only will give you SATA questions if you get the easy questions right. The fact that you got so many SATA questions is a good indicator that you passed. If the questions keep getting easier and not harder then you aren't doing so well. That's just my opinion.

Can we reschedule the test? if so, is there a fine?

Study the different types of questions, not necessarily any certain material.

You can reschedule the test as long as it is before the test date and there is no fee. If you miss you scheduled date...you are in trouble :)

I had the same just more questions. At lease 20-30 SATA and majority priority questions. Also, I guessed throughout the entire test...thinking to my self, "There's no way that you got that question right but ok" lol.

I'm still getting the good pop up!!

Congratulations all you amazing new nurses! I love following all the stories on here and it's making me hopeful.

I take my test on the 26th of this month in LA.

SATA are still stumping me. Any suggestions, not only for how to answer them but practice test Q's? I've been wanting to do Saunder's CD for them, but I've heard that the questions aren't as accurate.

Kaplan has been such a helpful tool. I just finished all the Qbanks with around 60-65. Test trainers in the 60 range as well.

Oddly enough I'm feeling pretty "zen" about the whole thing. I've been doing yoga every day and hiding the timer for Kaplan (once I knew you could do that for the test!) has been helping I think.

Good luck to all of us! :-D
