Loved having such a large question bank with rationales that really broke down the information to help me understand WHY answers were correct or were not. Reading rationales also allowed me to discover what topics I needed to delve more into in order to get a better understanding. 10/10 will recommend to everyone!
The NCLEX felt easier than my Archer exams and the format was very similar so that helped me feel more relaxed during the exams! Will definitely recommend to future nursing students!
Archer Review prepared me well for the NCLEX. Their lectures, CATs, readiness assessments and remediation section taught me not only the content but also navigating how to answer NCLEX questions !
I passed NCLEX-RN. Archer review is a great product . it helped me a lot . my brain trained to take each question with critical thinking only due to I solved 3000 questions . I used to end up 60 to 70% . and I used to get pass on CAT Assessment. I would definitely say that cat assessment and readiness assessment is reliable . I gave Exam on 26 june 2025 and got result next day.
I passed in 85 questions using about 54% of the question bank on practice exams and scored 4 “very high” readiness assessments in a row. I used the 3 week study plan after having an in person ATI live review at my school. I also took a 5 day break in the middle due to a family emergency but i still felt confident in the end. The case studies were a huge help since i got a lot of those on my actual NCLEX.

I bought archer in May after finishing Nursing School. It was the best thing I ever did. Archer was so good at preparing me for the in class that when I took my incorrect in June, I passed on the first try after 85 questions. It was very similar to The NCLEX. I did my practice exams every day and on the last two weeks I did The cats and the readiness right before exam. Whatever I got wrong I read up on. I did the tutorials on archer and read the rationale. It was the best person I ever did.
