I took my nclex today and I have a question. My test shut off at the minimum 85 questions. The majority of my questions were SATA. what would make the test give me so many of this type of question? I think there were around 20 of them. If it helps, I did the pvt and I got the "good" pop up

The minimum number of questions is actually 75. All question types are random, I don't know if there's a way to find out why certain questions are given. Truth is...that probably doesn't matter at this point. The thing that matters is you're getting the good pop up. :)
Congrats!!

I think the minimum number of questions on the PN exam is 85 -- maybe OP took that? At any rate, congrats, OP!
Mine was PN

I am not at all sure I know what I'm talking about, but I think a number of those were questions they were "filtering" for future test takers.
If you got the "good pop-up," please be thankful and encourage those who will follow you in coming days.
From me to you: Way to kick tail!
Some days we have to be thankful for what we have.
