Archer is very similar style to NCLEX. I recommend it 100000/10. it made me confident and I found the NCLEX easier because Archer trained my critical abilities. Thank so much.

the study material is concise and easy to understand. The structure of the questions are the same structure of the exam. I will recommend going through the lectures entirely then doing the questions as Cat/Rediness. and doing reviews.

I passed the NCLEX on my first try in 85 questions! I waited 3 months after I graduated to take my exam. Archer really helped guide my studying and focus on the topics that I was weak on. I took many readiness assessments, 4 CAT exams, and a couple practice assessments. The NCLEX structure was so similar to archer which helped ease my nerves as I took the exam. Getting the 4 consecutive highs on Archer made me feel prepared once test day came!

Archer helped me pass my NCLEX on the first try in 85 questions! I followed the 30-day study plan with the Qbank and the 3-day live review. After focusing on the topics I struggled with, I completed a CAT assessment and achieved 'very high' on four consecutive readiness assessments. By the time I walked into the exam, I felt fully prepared and confident. I highly recommend Archer to anyone studying for the NCLEX!

I decided to use archer to prepare for my exam. I used UWORLD for the PN, but i did not like it. Once I graduated i knew i needed something that would be more helpful. Archer was that product! I watched the lectures, i downloaded the cram sheets, and took practice test after practice. I had the entire NCLEX exam ! All 150 questions and i passed! Thank you Archer!

Archer was amazing at helping me to prepare for the NCLEX! Started off at borderline and then went to high/very high within a week or two! I’m glad I decided to use Archer because not only did it mimic the NCLEX almost perfectly it also gave a wide variety of information that I hadn’t learned in nursing school that I actually did see on the NCLEX. If you use Archer consistently you WILL pass!!!

Archers is the best investment in preparing for your NCLEX. My first 2 exams failed because of not enough preparing to well. I did the 6 week study plan and watched the 3 Day Live on the week of my exam. I passed on my 3rd attempt because of Archers sure pass :)

Failed it the first time and I didn't use Archer, when I did use it and did all the questions, the exam felt like a readiness assessment or a CAT. Archer prepared me extremely well.

The Sure Pass subscription that I used with Archer was amazing! I really appreciated the videos from different specialties and high yield content areas in nursing, and the 2,000 + test bank and its rationales also allowed me to be more prepared for the NCLEX. Also, the live webinars were also perfect for quick review/asking questions to professionals in where I would get immediate answers and clarification. Thank you Archer :)

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 2,900 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:
