NCLEX-RN SATA Practice Test 1

Your NCLEX-RN® exam will be made up of primarily multiple-choice, four-option, text-based questions. In addition to regular multiple-choice questions, you’ll also get a number of “alternate format” test questions. SATA (“select all that apply”, or “multiple response”) nursing questions require you to select all answer choices that apply from among five or six answer options. You must get all options correct (even if you miss one, it is considered wrong; there’s no partial credit). You may get around 10-25 SATA questions in total, but that will depend on how you’re answering your NCLEX questions. The majority of your NCLEX® exam is still going to be single-option multiple-choice questions. Here are a few strategies to help you master the SATA questions. The key thing to remember about SATA questions is to think of them as being four separate and distinct true/ false questions. In other words, look at each answer option as a separate true/false statement. If the question is asking for a true answer, then match your true statements to the question. If the question is asking for a false statement, then match your identified false statements to the question.
