Our verdict
Archer Review suits nursing students sitting the NCLEX who want a fixed access window, live classes and a money back promise rather than a rolling subscription. Entry is $59 for the NCLEX PN plan, and the guarantee claim window is 1 day for new Q Bank users.

Pros and cons
Pros
- The money back promise is the shared setup in this group, at 66.7% of listings, and Archer Review meets it with a 1 day claim window.
- Access is sold as a window of 1 to 6 months, so the entry outlay can be matched to the test date rather than renewing each month.
- A free trial lets a candidate weigh the question bank before paying, with a tutoring add-on there for anyone who wants more than self study.
- Entry at $59 sits under $68 and carries 3,100 practice questions, 30 full length tests and live classes.
Cons
- Support runs on email only, so phone and chat are absent from a service bought against a fixed exam date.
- The money back claim window is 1 day, far short of the 30-day recorded across this group.
- Coverage is limited to nclex, so anyone sitting a different professional exam is looking elsewhere.
- Entry at $59 ranks 22 of 65 on price, and cheaper entry points sit at $12.99 and $19.99.
Who it suits
- Nursing candidates preparing for the NCLEX who want live classes and a full length test bank in the same purchase.
- Anyone who can finish inside 1 to 6 months of access and would rather pay once than renew monthly.
- Buyers who want a free trial and a money back promise before committing to a paid plan.
Who should look elsewhere
- Testprep Training, at $12.99, for buyers whose budget settles the choice ahead of question bank depth.
- DRCertifications, at $19.99, for candidates who want the cheapest way into a professional exam course.
- Allied Schools, at $68, for buyers who would rather pay more than the $59 entry figure here.
How it compares on our data
Archer Review's stronger showing is on testing volume. It ranks 3 of 27 on full length tests, while its practice question count places it 17 of 38. Entry price tells the opposite story: 22 of 65 puts it in the middle of the field rather than at the cheap end. The read for a candidate is that the simulated exams are the reason to buy here, and the question bank is the part to weigh before paying.
Core features
Access is sold as a window of 1 to 6 months, so the amount at entry covers the whole stretch of study rather than a monthly cycle. Inside that window sit 3,100 practice questions, 30 full length tests and live classes, which the plan includes rather than sells as an extra. A free trial is available, so the bank can be sampled before a purchase is made. The score guarantee is money back and the claim window is 1 day, with terms that apply to new Q Bank users who meet the stated Q Bank and live review thresholds. A tutoring add-on sits on top for anyone who wants a person rather than a question bank.
The company behind it
The plans are sold by Archer Review, LLC, based in the United States, so the provider is a US company rather than a marketplace of courses. Support is the part candidates notice least before signing and most after: help runs on email only, with no phone line or live chat listed alongside it. For a service bought against a fixed exam date, that shape of support is the practical limit to plan around, and the guarantee terms sit behind the same single channel.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Archer Review cost to start?+
The NCLEX PN plan starts at $59. The two exam prices listed are nclex RN: $79 nclex PN: $59, so the RN and PN tracks are priced separately rather than folded into a single bundle. Access runs 1 to 6 months from the purchase, so the entry figure covers the whole study window rather than a monthly cycle that renews.
How long does access last, and does the plan renew?+
Access is sold as a window of 1 to 6 months, and that window is the unit of purchase rather than a subscription that renews. The NCLEX PN plan starts at $59 for that whole stretch. A candidate who needs to study past the end of the window looks at buying again, which is the practical trade against paying monthly.
What does the plan include?+
Each window includes 3,100 practice questions, 30 full length tests and live classes. Live sessions sit inside the purchase rather than behind an add-on, and the full length test count runs well past the 6 typical of this group. A tutoring add-on is available for anyone who wants more than a question bank.
Is there a free trial before you pay?+
A free trial is offered, so the question bank and the live review sessions can be sampled before any purchase is made. That leaves a chance to decide before paying and again shortly after, though the money back window is only 1 day, which is short for a course bought close to the test date.
What does the score guarantee actually cover?+
The score guarantee is money back and the claim window is 1 day. The terms are narrow: they cover new Q Bank users who reach the required standard on Q Bank practice and on the live review, and who record the required number of high scores. Anyone who has used Q Bank before sits outside those terms.
Which exams are covered?+
Coverage is nclex only, the RN and PN nursing tracks priced at nclex RN: $79 nclex PN: $59. That focus is the point for a nursing candidate, since the practice questions and the live classes are built around those exams. Anyone preparing for a different professional exam would be looking at a different field of providers.
How do I get help if something goes wrong?+
Support runs on email only, with no phone line or live chat listed beside it, so questions go by email. In this group 73.3% of providers offer phone and 73.3% run a help centre, so an email only service leaves a real gap for anyone on a countdown to the exam.
Is extra tutoring available?+
A tutoring add-on is available on top of the core plan, and that is the shared pattern here: 94.4% of listings in this group offer one. It is a separate purchase, so it is worth budgeting apart from the $59 entry figure for the NCLEX PN plan and outside the live classes that already come with the window.
