FAVOUR NDUKA

Passed on my first try with Archer! My personal experience is that it gave me a good representation of my NCLEX exam. I would say the questions on Archer and my actual exam were about a similar level of difficulty. Having completed the Archer lesson videos and achieved 4 very high streaks on my readiness assessments, I felt confident facing my NCLEX. So I would definitely recommend Archer🥰

Archer is great, I learned so many new things by watching the videos. I love the format because it mimics the NCLEX. I recommend following a study plan and sticking to it. I took the Readiness assessments every day in my last week before the exam.

Archer had helped me a lot! I find that the actual NCLEX-RN is much easier than the readiness assessment. It is because Archer trained me, helped me understand the principles, and made it easier for me to remember. While writing the NCLEX-RN, it's just like writing one of the readiness assessments. My exam shuts off at 85, which I am used to when I'm writing the readiness assessment, and it did not surprise me at all. The platforms of NCLEX-RN and Archer are very similar, which makes me comfortable. Thank you, Archer for guiding me and making things simple to understand.

I passed my NCLEX-RN in 85 questions on my 1st attempt. Archer is amazing for NCLEX Preparation. The Qbank is thorough with clear explanations, and the CAT exams simulate the real test well. The app is easy to use, and the performance tracking helps a lot. It’s boosted my confidence and made studying much more effective. Definitely worth it! Big thanks to Archer!

I failed the NCLEX 4 times. This time I decided to use Archer and not only did I pass but I passed in 85 questions! I am that person that’s always gets through the whole NCLEX exam. I was shocked when I passed passed with 85 questions! The way Archer forms their questions is so much like the NCLEX! I used other programs in the past and thus one was by far the easiest to maneuver and the most like the actual exam!

I liked the questions a lot because they showed the rationale. which helped me answer questions better for the NCLEX. I was watching the videos but for the way I learn it didn’t workout for me so I went to another source. I did questions daily through archer and I think that’s what helped me a lot!!

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 3,100 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.
