I passed the NCLEX using Archer, and I absolutely loved it! I had to take the NCLEX twice, and honestly, I truly believe that if I had used Archer the first time around, I would have passed on my first attempt. I found Archer while preparing for my second attempt, and it made such a huge difference in my studying. I truly believe Archer played a big role in helping me pass!

I am glad my colleagues recommended Archer Review to me. I loved the explanation of each answer and the endless exercises one can tailor according to your needs. I 100% recommend it to anyone studying for their nclex exam.

The assessments and questions were very relevant to the material on the NCLEX. A lot of what I saw while taking it was included in the questions on here, and some information was completely unbeknownst to me until I used Archer! I'm very thankful that I used this resource. One suggestion I may add is if there was a study plan for a shorter period of time leading up to the test date, like a week before or even 3 days. A refresher video, even, may be helpful!

Definitely, doing the readiness assessments and CAT exams helps me, and studying through the rationales of each question helps. There were some questions on my exam that were the same as some of my practice exams. Archer definitely helped me pass and prepared me for the NCLEX!

I took my NCLEX-RN exam on August 12, 2026, and passed in 85 questions on my first attempt! I could not be more grateful that I chose Archer Review for my NCLEX-RN preparation. Words cannot express how much this platform helped me prepare. I purchased the NCLEX-RN Rapid Review Combo QBank for one month, and it was the best decision of my NCLEX journey. ​With this plan, I got access to all the videos and a QBank containing 3,186 questions, which was more than enough for the test. From the start, I took one CAT test every day, and I started taking Readiness Assessments during the last 10 days before my test. By the end of the month, I had completed 13 CATs and 10 Readiness Assessments, earning "Pass" results and "High" or "Very High" scores on all of them. ​During the final week, I also did tutored tests every day. I made notes on the rationales for my wrong answers and carefully read through the rationales for my correct ones. I reviewed every rationale and completed 100% of the QBank. While I don't feel it is strictly necessary to finish the entire QBank to get good scores, I always like to push myself further. Archer suggests completing 80% of the QBank and getting 4 consecutive "High" or "Very High" scores, and I agree that is plenty. ​A huge shout-out to their 3-Day Review! The sessions are lengthy, but they cover all the core basics across every subject. They also have a massive library of over 100 videos with detailed explanations. Since I was already confident with my content and just needed practice, I only watched a few, but I still highly recommend going through the pharmacology videos. ​Finally, their user-friendly platform interface makes tracking your progress easy, and the graphs clearly show where you stand. Last but not least, they send an amazing email right before your D-Day that truly calms your nerves and boosts your confidence. Thank you so much to the whole Archer Review team for helping me through this journey—I will always be grateful!

Archer review was an incredible resource. I purchased the SURE PASS package, and unfortunately, less than a month before my scheduled exam, I suffered a severe concussion that left me unable to write the exam for over a year. When I was ready to come back, Archer was ready for me, and staff were incredibly accommodating and helpful. Archer's 6 week plan was the perfect guide: easy to follow and well balanced. I loved the website interface and all the information it provided. The readiness and CAT exams gave me the confidence to take the test, and after 5 VH's in a row, I moved my test up a couple days early and passed on my first attempt! I would highly recommend to any fellow nursing students.

Archer helped me with practice questions and certain topics to study. The cheat sheets were extremely useful days leading up to the test. It was also fairly cheap while helpful. Thank you so much! I passed at 85 questions on the first try.
