I was provided access to Archer through my school, and I am very grateful for the opportunity. It helped me identify where I stood academically and what areas I needed to focus on. The three-week study plan was very well structured demanding, but absolutely worth the effort. I pass my NCLEX on my first attempt. Thank you, Archer!
Listen archer is a must! I passed on my 4th attempt with 85 questions! This was the second time I used archer. The first time I only did questions and rationales. The second time I followed there 3 week study plan using sure pass and I was strict. I wish I would’ve used it sooner!! I remember reading everyone’s comments saying “I passed” and now I am so happy to say I passed in 85 questions. Follow the study plan. Trust it. I’m glad I did! I’m officially a nurse!!!
I am so happy that I used Archer to study and prepare for the NCLEX exam. The study guides layout a very clear path to follow to succeed. I utilized the four week study plan, however prior to writing my final nursing school exam, I watched a majority of Archer's videos to prepare for that exam. After taking a month off to relax after graduating, I used the four week plan, completed 85 questions per day for at least 2 weeks before I wrote the exam, and read every rationale. I focused on the mini video clips that were provided for questions that I answered wrong to fully understand the reasoning behind each answer choice. I also used the 3-day SURPASS prior to beginning the four week study plan to review the content! Overall, amazing platform to prepare for the exam!
Archer was fantastic. Highly recommend. Passed in 85 questions on the first attempt. Get the surepass combo, follow one of their study plans, attend the 3 day live if you can. Archer will fully prepare you if you follow their guidance.
I purchased Archer Review last December 2025. I took my NCLEX RN exam Feb 11, 2026. I passed at 150 questions. I honestly did not have time to open any videos as I am struggling to balance my study,work,and being a mom. But I made sure to answer atleast 5 Qbanks questions everyday and really understand the rationals. I did not take CAT test as a was scared to get a low score that could contribute to my increasing anxiety. I only took 1 readiness test 2 days before my exam date and received a high score in the test. I attended the 3days sure pass live review which I highly recommend especially for those who did not have much time to study. Surepass Review helped me how to understand the "why" of every conditions instead of memorizing it. Thank you Archer! Thank you Lord.

Archer is an amazing resource!! I passed my NCLEX yesterday on the first try, at 85 questions. I scored very high on all my readiness assessments, which were a total of 7. Passed 2 CAT exams at 85 questions each. Finished 1,500 practice questions and still did not reach my max limit of questions. Reading rationales and practicing questions were the key for me. The format was almost identical to NCLEX! Thank you God and Archer!
The videos, Q bank, readiness assessments really prepped me well! the NCLEX also looks very similar to the formatting of Archer!
thank you archer
