Today was horriable

Rainbow-BSN · Sep 23, 2008

My friend just found out today that she passed! She took it last Thursday....it shut off at 75 questions with 22 SATA. She was positive she failed. NOPE!

So...high number of SATA does not equal failure.

Best of luck to you. Try and find something to distract you while you wait.

I'm nervous too. Took it today and had 75 Qs with 17 Sata. It was the weirdest hardest test I've ever taken. I had alot of priority and teaching questions, meds from tv, infection control, no delegation, alot of ob and child, numerous psych. I talked to a friend of mine who did the Kaplan course and she said they tell you that if you stop at 75 and get alot of SATA then you probably passed because SATAs are considered higher level questions. I'm crossing my fingers that they are correct.

Dee -- your exam sounds very similar to mine. I took mine on Monday (same testing center as yours). The only difference is I did not have that many priority, which scares me. I probably had 5 or 6 priority, a lot of pharm, some infection control, 10 - 15 SATA, 2 "drag-and-drop/put-in-order". I had no delegation, NO OB (very weird), a few pediatrics.

That exam was so weird and I am just hoping I passed as well.

Good luck to you guys!
