When I first started with Archer, I was nervous because I didn’t know how much I needed to pass this exam. I knew I needed more preparation in certain nursing concepts. When I printed the 6‑week calendar, I told myself there had to be a method to this calendar. I ended up following that calendar for more than 6 weeks. I didn’t find any test dates soon, which was to my advantage because I realized I was not prepared. I loved Archer because it broke down every important nursing concept you need to understand, and I understood them better compared to when I was in school. I would recommend Archer to anyone preparing for the NCLEX. It is a mirror of the NCLEX. I nailed my exam the first time!
100/10! WORTH BUYING. easy to use and very good explanations. used the sure pass package. I used archer for LVN and RN and it has never failed me.
Archer helped me better understand the nursing concepts. It helped prepare for the NCLEX in a personalized way. I love it, and I would recommend it to anyone who is getting ready for the board exam!

ArcherReview Nursing helped me prepare for the NCLEX RN and pass on the first try. I used the SurePass package for about 6 weeks. The Qbanks, CAT Assessments, and video banks were wonderful.
