I passed my second attempt on 3/31/2026 and I couldn’t have done it without the Intense Prep program. Shelley my tutor really helped guide my studying (6 weeks) and gave me the confidence that I needed to retake the NCLEX again. THANK YOU Shelley and ARCHER!
I passed the NCLEX-PN in 85 questions on my 1st attempt!!! I was so nervous when the exam shut of at 85 because the questions didn’t get harder as the test went on, then I realized it wasn’t getting harder to me because Archer Review really prepared me for the NCLEX!! I knew the material thanks to Archer…. 10/10 highly recommend!!
The 3 day crash course help so much. The intructors are very knowledgeble and make it very constructive to undertand the material.
I am beyond pleased for trusting Archer review studying tool. I would recommend Archer for all the nursing students who are going to take the NCLEX. Definitely worth the money and would take the pass combo again! Also, I want to give a special thank you to instructor Morgan for her help and making the complicated topics into digestible contents.
The teaching pace of Archer's matched mine so even if I had to take NCLEX 3 times, I never changed my resource for review. It's good that the Live sessions availed prior are available for replay, great help! I'm also happy that materials can be downloaded/printed for easier access and availability. The abbreviations are very much helpful, too! All in all, what also helped me is the part where you don't just teach the rationale behind the correct answer but also explain the rationale behind the incorrect answers. I relied on those heavily. Thank you so much!

Archer is an amazing program, I would highly recommend this program to anyone. I don't think I would have been able to pass on my first attempt without Archer Review. Thank You Archer!
15 Years Out of School, New to the USA, and I PASSED in 85! 🇺🇸🩺 I am proof that it is never too late and no gap is too wide! After being out of school for over 15 years and recently moving to the US, I sat for my NCLEX and passed on my first attempt in 85 questions. My Strategy: Pure consistency. I followed my daily study plan religiously. I didn't miss a single day—not one. Even when I was tired or overwhelmed, I showed up for those practice questions. Archer’s layout and questions kept me on track and mirrored the actual exam perfectly. To my fellow international nurses and those who have been out of the game for a while: You can do this. Trust the process, don't skip a day, and keep pushing
The 3-day webinar helped so much to consolidate the information and really give a broad look at the topics
Archer was a great tool in my journey. I used the calendar to stay on track, solidify my knowledge, and gain more confidence. Anytime I had a question, customer service got back to me very quickly! I genuinely think that the videos and the readiness assessments gave me the confidence I needed to pass. Thank you Archer!
I'll follow the 6 weeks calendar review. rationale are very helpful. it was my fish attempt and I passed. during my exam, more SATA questions and case study. Content, strategy and 85 questions everyday helps me a lot.
