I really enjoyed the test and the rationales, the short videos with the explanation. I like how the subject videos were straight to the point. I enjoyed that the videos focused on understanding instead of memorization.
I have tried UWorld, Bootcamp, smiply nursing and more, but Archer review was what I needed even for my first attempt. I recommend Archer Review 100%. Nothing like it. I literally was prepared for harder exam, but the real Nclex was easy for me. Didn't look any different from my my practice with Archer. Thank you Archer Review.
I loved using archer ! I took my NCLEX yesterday and found out I passed today ! Archer looked just like it and made me feel comfortable taking it because I was already comfortable with the format. This was a great resource to use to find my weak spots and study those areas! And to use test taking strategies trial and error without the full pressure. My first test was borderline and afterwards I got 2 high readiness assessments and passed on my first try ! Thank you archer !!
I feel like archer grades are bit harder than the actual NCLEX (which I love). I was scoring between borderline and high and I passed in 87 questions.
Archer is harder than the NCLEX if you can do Archer you can pass the NCLEX.

I was referred to Archer by my friend who used it and passed her NCLEX by using archer. She told me it looked exactly like the NCLEX and that all she did was work on questions every day. I took her advice and worked on the questions every day. I even used the calendar view of what archer recommended on working on everyday. The calendar told you how many questions to do and what body systems to focus on, it was an amazing tool! I agree with my friend that archer looked almost identical to the NCLEX and I can successfully say thank you to Archer I am a nurse! Woot woot just passed my nclex on 1/22/2026. Thank you archer!!
Archer was awesome! I used it to pass my LPN back in 2023 & just passed my RN in February! Highly recommended. Very grateful to have a platform that can guarantee my success as long as I do my part. Thank you archer!!!
I LOVE Archer!! As someone who struggled more than others in nursing school, I knew when I sat down for my NCLEX the first time that I had waited too long after graduation — and I wasn’t successful on my first attempt. When a friend told me about Archer, I decided to try their 6-week study plan along with the NCLEX Live (recorded) 3-day review — and it was SO helpful!! They break everything down in a way that makes you feel like you’ve truly mastered each topic by the end of the day. I’m so happy with my experience and couldn’t recommend Archer enough to anyone preparing for the NCLEX!
I passed my NCLEX! After receiving 4 highs and a super high in a row - I felt confident walking into the NCLEX. Archer focuses on making sure you know everything while my NCLEX focused a lot on patient teaching. Highly recommend the study plan to stay on track.
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!
