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!

Hi! Just wanted to share that I received an email from the BON with my RN license number today!! I haven’t even heard back from Pearson yet since I took the NCLEX yesterday, but it looks like I’m officially a nurse!

My exam shut off at 130 questions, and it felt like the majority of the questions were on topics I wasn’t very confident in. I honestly wasn’t feeling great walking out, and the waiting has been stressful. Personally, I believe even if you go past 100 questions, what matters most is if you feel you answered the last question before the test shuts off correctly! For those who haven’t taken it yet stay positive during the exam and trust yourself/your instincts. The NCLEX truly felt like a safety first exam, especially for the prioritization questions.

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

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

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 :(

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?
