I would definitely recommend Archer review for anyone preparing for the NCLEX. I failed two times before accessing Archer review. The Qbank questions mirror the NCLEX. The 3 day sure pass live reviews are gems! I took the exam on 7/11/25 and passed. I am so happy and grateful.

Firstly, I want to say thank you. I am first time taker who took her NCLEX on 11th of July 2025 and passed, I started on Archer review not knowing how the NCLEX is like. From the study calendar package to the live lectures as well as the 3-days surepass review, that’s all it took for me to be confident in taking my exam. Archer got me to understand and not memorise, especially pharmacology, I answered my questions with no doubt and fears. The readiness assessment, the CAT was so helpful because I got to answer questions in the right way as well, I went over the rationales of questions I passed and the ones I failed like it was my Bible and it paid off in the very end. The coaches on Archer have the loveliest souls, always ready to answer questions and teaching in the best way. Thank you so much! I would always recommend Archer review to anyone planning to take the NCLEX.

I did the 6 week prep course and I can confidently say I am extremely impressed with this study program. My family was in aweh of how detailed and well formatted this program was to follow and study from, “this is the coolest thing ever, I wish I had this when I was younger”. The practice questions were similar if not exact to my NCLEX. I loved the videos and the break downs of each question why it’s right or wrong. The readiness assessments helped boost my confidence and test taking skills vastly. I struggle from severe anxiety since I was a kid, in third year of nursing school I was so anxious for an exam I passed out! That being said, I went into this exam extremely level headed with actual confidence, passing in 85 questions!! archer [Archer Review] thank you over and over again for all of your helpful test taking videos, practice tests and exams, and an incredible amount of help and resources. My nursing friend group complies 9 of us, all 9 of us used archer and all passed in 85 questions! :) If you’re looking for a study guide use archer! You will not regret it! Thank you again, I’m excited to never hear “Hello future nurses” again, because that means I am now a current registered nurse!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Need Answers? Find them here...

What is the Intense Prep program?

A structured, 6-week program with instructor supervision and feedback to guide students through studying for the NCLEX. It includes a comprehensive eBook, live lectures, on-demand lectures, small group workshops, feedback sessions, learning activities, question bank practice, and unlimited readiness assessments^.

How do the live and on-demand lectures work?

Students in Intense Prep have access to two 3-hour lectures per week. The option to join live allows them to interact and ask questions with our instructors in real time and keeps them on track by enhancing accountability. They can stream the same content on-demand anytime if they miss a lecture.

On-demand lectures review each component of the NCLEX in-depth and break down difficult concepts to help students understand ‘the why’ behind every topic. On weekdays, when students do not have a live lecture scheduled, they will be assigned an On-demand lectures.

What is a small group session?

Small groups are sessions dedicated to reviewing testing strategy, prioritization, delegation, select all that apply (SATA) questions, and other challenging subjects students often have questions about. With a cap of 20 students, students can get to know their tutor, build a relationship, and ask personalized questions. Small groups occur once per week, and multiple slots are open throughout the day to accommodate different schedules.

What is a feedback session?

Feedback sessions are your students’ time to bring questions to their tutor! Students will look at their learning assessment scores, share their progress with their tutor, and problem-solve anything that isn’t going well. Our tutors aim to help students figure out what’s not going well so that we can fix any issues and get them NCLEX-ready. Again, these groups are capped at 20 students so the tutor can talk to everyone.

What learning materials are included with Intense Prep?

Students receive an interactive eBook that contains all of their learning materials. It includes their 6-week schedule, lecture notes, flashcards, case studies, and worksheets. All materials can be downloaded as a PDF, which the student can fill out and take notes within or print out should the student choose. The eBook also links them to instructional videos and their Archer Review student dashboard, where they stream their on-demand videos, take practice questions, and launch learning assessments.

How often does Intense Prep Start?

To see upcoming Intense Prep start dates, please visit our Intense Prep page on our website. Ensure your spot by promptly signing up for a small group session upon product purchase.

How is the Archer Review question bank different?

Our question bank has over 1,600 practice questions, including traditional and NGN item types. They can be arranged by subject and lesson or by the areas of the NCLEX test plan to ensure students can customize their practice based on their individual study needs. All NCLEX-style questions, including alternate format and NGN items, are included. We emphasize understanding the why behind each answer choice in the rationale, so students gain a deeper understanding of the content as they utilize the question bank. Answer rationales also include images and videos for visual learners.

How do the Readiness Assessments work?

Students receive unlimited readiness assessments^. As long as they have unused questions remaining in the question bank, they can take a learning assessment. Our software pulls 85 questions from the appropriate client needs categories and creates a simulated 85 question NCLEX. At the end of the simulation, the student receives a predictor score telling them their chance of passing the NCLEX. The goal is to get 4 highs or very highs consecutively, which is an excellent indicator of your readiness to take the NCLEX exam.

How can students monitor their progress?

Students can monitor their progress through the statistics dashboard. This will give them a breakdown of how many questions they have answered correctly or incorrectly in each subject and lesson. After completing the assessment, they can further analyze each learning assessment by clicking ‘Test Analysis.’ This will provide graphs showing their progress in each subject and lesson. They will also see the number of times they changed their answer choice from correct to incorrect or incorrect to correct. Lastly, they may sort the questions from the learning assessment from easy to difficult to see at what point they started answering incorrectly.

How does Archer Review stay current with NCLEX changes?

Archer Review closely monitors all NCSBN communications. Updates are made quarterly to ensure students receive the most current, accurate review possible.

When should students enroll in Intense Prep?

The Intense Prep program is best for students with at least five hours per day to study and plan to take the exam in the next 2-3 months. We recommend students take the course at the end of their nursing school curriculum just before the NCLEX.

How does Archer Review differ from other reviews?

We include all of the essential features of a comprehensive NCLEX program for an unbeatable value:
