Took NCLEX today and freaking out... It shut off at 75 and I had 2 SATA ...

Published

I took the big one today and thought I was going to throw up when the computer shut off at 75! I heard that you only pass at 75 if you get a ton of SATA and I only one 2. Does this mean I probably failed? I had not math questions and a ton of med questions that I was not sure about. I also had a lot of who do you see first questions. Anyone got any advise or ideas? :cry:

I'm taking my NCLEX on Friday. Everyone has passed it from my class so far. One girl who took it got 12 SATAs and shut off at 85. She passed so freak out as little as possible. Go workout, go eat some chocolate...hang out with the boys if you're a fella. I decided to pick up a bunch of hours at work to take my mind off things.

I wonder if you can pass at 75 with only one or two SATA questions?

Doesn't mean anything. SATA is just a format of questions and we have seen a few post that got none or very few and passed.

Thanks for the information! So SATA are not always the hardest questions

I just took my test today as well and was shut off at 75. Help me out...what exactly is a SATA question? Format of what type of questions? I should know this but I don't. I am positive I failed. I had a ton of pharm questions as well as who the nurse would assess first. No dosage calc. There were also a lot of delegation questions. Is it normal to feel this defeated? Somehow I knew I would get cut off at 75. I feel awful. Tell me I'm not the only one!

ladysnyper- congrats!

nmrach- I feel the same way as you. I feel down and out. I feel like the dumbest person after taking that test. It is weird. I always make a-b and when I felt like I did not know any of the answers for this test I knew I failed... time will tell. 41 hours left to find out.

i am sure you passed. i only got 75 questions and one select all that apply and i passed. if you were failing, the computer would have given you more questions to get you over the top! i know it is the worst feeling, but you will feel awesome when they post you passed!!!

Hang in there. Yep, still possible to have passed. The only thing that matters is the percentage of questions answered correctly. Wait for the official results. Good luck.:heartbeat SATA is just a style of question and does not indicate level of difficulty. Some have passed with 75 and no SATA.
