Archer Next-Generation NCLEX – with a single motto to Make Quality Test Prep Affordable & Effective! Over several years, Archer Review has provided affordable and successful courses to nursing students, medical students, and physicians. Archer applies a high-yield focused test preparation strategy to help you prepare SMART. Good test-prep courses need not be pricey, and Archer is moving forward with this single motto. Since 2020, about 200,000 nursing students and nurses have trusted Archer Review and have reported high pass rates. Archer NCLEX products include: 1. Question banks 2. On-demand videos 3. Combos (question banks and on-demand videos) - A large number of questions (next-generation NCLEX items and legacy items spread out according to the new NGN-NCLEX pattern): A. 2950+ NCLEX-RN questions on an interface that mimics the real NCLEX exam B. 1100+ NCLEX-PN questions. High-yield new questions are added almost every week so that you will see a continuously increasing number of critically important questions. - Multiple prediction assessments: Multiple readiness assessments can be launched. Assessing yourself frequently helps you know your readiness throughout your prep compared to assessing just at the end of the prep. - Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) mode: Like NCLEX, CAT adapts to your performance and sequentially delivers questions to simulate NCLEX. - 98% pass rate confidence: Among the Archer Q-bank users who took the exam after completing all the sure-pass criteria and achieving consecutive highs on four assessments, the pass rate has been 98%. - The Power of Rationales: In-depth and detailed explanations (rationales). Additional information sections provide in-depth details, while the body of the rationale provides focused information. Multiple concepts are explained in a single question, so you understand why a specific option is incorrect. - Challenging Questions: The questions will challenge you. While the questions can be challenging, the goal is to challenge you and explain the subject within the explanation. Learning is enhanced under stress – we use this scientific concept to challenge you hard, so you study and retain the explanation better. Review your performance, weak and strong, under previous tests. - Tutor/ Test and Timed modes: Tutor mode allows you to see the rationale immediately, whereas Timed mode simulates the actual testing atmosphere. Create comprehensive tests on the go or practice questions in your weak areas via—system-based question review. - Ability to launch tests based on NCSBN client need areas. This is particularly useful for those with prior NCLEX attempts to launch and practice tests in their weak client-need areas. - "Peer Stats" provides you with information to compare yourself with your peers regarding every question and the overall test. Your score compared to the average peer score lets you assess your readiness for the exam. - Videos: Our unique "video rationales" accompany some essential topics repeatedly tested on NCLEX. Once again, Archer's strategy is to help you retain concepts through "audio-visual reinforcement" while quizzing you. - Multiple test item types: All next-generation NCLEX item types (unfolding case studies, other standalone new NGN items), single choice, SATA (select all that apply), fill in the blanks, ordered sequence, audios/ images questions with a large proportion of questions being SATA to reflect the actual exam distribution. - Performance dashboards to analyze your weak and strong areas. System-wise breakdown and client-needs data are presented. Combo products include - All features of the Q-bank - On-Demand videos covering every client need area tested on the NCLEX. Videos are updated after every live review. Both the videos of live review crash courses and topic-wise videos are included in the On-Demand bundles. - Money-back guarantee (SurePass combo users only) https://archerreview.com/terms-and-conditions
