Let’s start with the good news! I took my exam yesterday, and it shut down at 85 questions. I was so happy but also a little scared.

This morning at 8 AM, I received an email saying, “Congratulations, you passed!” along with my license number. I cried, I laughed, and I honestly can’t put the feeling into words.

I finished nursing school in NYC in July 2025, but my husband and I decided to travel around the country to find our forever home before I took the NCLEX.

Once we settled down, I spent three months studying with Archer. I watched all the videos, attended the Zoom classes, and completed all the available questions. Unfortunately, I failed my first attempt.

I requested a refund through Archer’s Sure PASS Guarantee, but they denied it, claiming their system showed I hadn’t watched all the videos, even though I had.

After that experience, I switched to Mark Klimek’s review videos on YouTube, Bootcamp, and UWorld. I studied for another two months, and yesterday, I finally passed on my second attempt with 85 questions!

In my personal experience, Klimek, Bootcamp, and UWorld prepared me better for the style of questions on the actual NCLEX.

I know everyone’s experience is different, but I wanted to share what worked for me. If you failed your first attempt, don’t give up! Change your strategy if you need to and keep going. You’ve got this! And AVOID ARCHER!

I took it about 6 hours ago and I'm sweating bullets, this is good right??

Hi guys. I am scheduled to take my board at the end of October. Does this stat really help? TIA

I’ve been watching Dr. Sharon’s videos on YouTube, listening to Mark K lectures and using bootcamp. These are my metrics so far and I take my exam in a week. Has anyone passed using bootcamp with these metrics or would it be better to push the exam back a week?

I took my first attempt back in August but I felt like anxiety got to me and I ended up failing at 150 this time i locked into reading every question I got right and wrong and feel more confident my test is this coming Tuesday any last advise or words of encouragement would be helpful!

Hello! I kept on calling their US line but Indians keeps on answering my call. They also asked me about my card number and details. Did you guys have a similar experience? Please help me :(

Hello, does anybody know how did I do according to my CPR? What am I lacking and what I’m good at? I wanna do different strategies this time. Any advice matters! Thanks much!

Pls help me choose my nclex review center, i want someone who will guide me through out my nclex journey. I already enrolled in TRA for my PNLE. I don’t mind the budget, as a nclex psser whats best review center?

My NCLEX went up to 150Q; at first I was feeling very confident but when I got to 85Q and it didn’t shut down anxiety kicked in, I felt something was wrong because if I was doing well like I thought , it would have shutdown at 85Q. I don’t know how to feel right now. Anyone passed at 150?

Anybody got borderline for every cat exam on bootcamp and still ended up passing their NCLEX? I'm getting nervous :(

Hi! I took my first NCLEX attempt today, and I’m not feeling too great about it. My exam shut off at 130 questions. I had around 4–5 case studies (6 questions each), 4 standalone case questions, and one bow-tie question. Most of my questions seemed to be multiple choice, and the difficulty kept alternating between questions that felt harder and others that felt surprisingly easy. I also had some SATA questions.

I received the Pearson VUE email about next steps about 30 minutes after leaving the testing center. How long should I wait before trying the Pearson VUE Trick for the most accurate result? Also, how far should I go through the registration process before it stops me? I want to avoid accidentally paying for another exam. 😅

I’d really appreciate any advice or insight. Thank you!
