This is killing me! Is there a possibility I passed????

Published

I took NCLEX this morning. My computer cut off at 75. I had 0 SATA questions, 2 calculation questions, and lots & lots of priority who would you see first questions. Is there a way that I possibly passed??? 0 SATA; that must have mean that I was doing terrible!!!!????

Just because you didn't get any SATA means you have failed. SATA is just a format and you can still pass with none the same as can pass if got many. Hang in there and good luck

Thanks for posting your question...I haven't seen anyone post yet that hasn't got an SATA's...so your results would be welcoming to alot of people.

We have had a few that only got a few or none SATA and passed.

I had 5 SATA, my good friend that I tested with got 30+, and another good friend of mine got 3. We all passed with 75 questions. Best of luck with your results!

Silverdragon is right, those are only a type of questions just like the 'new format' questions. I got well over 15 SATAs. I didn't however get any OB or med calculations. But I sure got a ton of medication questions. I know suzanne has said that med calculations are considered the most basic of questions so that doesn't worry me. I too shut off at 75.

I just read something that made me feel a lot better. the exam is graded in sections from what i understand its:

management of care

safety and infection control

health promotion and maintenance

Physiologic adaptation

basic care and comfort

psych

reduction of risk

and pharm

somehow knowing this makes me feel a bit better. also keep in mind that 15 questions don't count. the odds are on your side (and mine)...now go have fun, i know easier said than done
