So what does SATA stand for?

Published

OK, after being in school for this many years I have sort of figured out that each school has its own form of teaching and it's own short hand. Since we were not even taught what SOAP meant could someone please explain what SATA stands for. I don't mean to sound totally ignorant, but I have passed all the predictor tests with a 97-99% pass rate so I feel totally in the dark when people start talking about SATA questions. PLEASE HELP! A few of us are starting to feel stressed and like we won't pass until we unlock the secret code. lol

Thank you so very much for your help!

Select All That Apply... don't let it stress you out! It is just those alternate format questions.

OMG! Ok so we (some of us from my school) feel like total idiots! So this is what happens when you allow stress to eat all your available brain cells! Thank you so much for explaining that I really feel like an idiot.

Some people get upset over the Select All That Apply question format. My take on it is to do the best one can and move on to the next question. Either you will get past the roadblock or you won't. But don't get caught up in this type of question.

There's a lot of SATA when I took nclex today. I was trying to count how many, but lost count. I just answered this as best as I could.
