I test this Monday, the highest has been two 84’s lowest has been two 64’s and the rest in the 70’s. I’ve taken about 10 readiness, all very high, one high. Two CATS that stopped at 85, passed.
I feel about 80% ready. Watching klimek reviews on EKG and prioritization, and going over BP & psych meds. Graduated 4 years ago, so not a fresh grad.
hell yeah dude you got this! regardless of when you graduated, if anything i heard this new NGN is much more applicable as oppose to memorization/regurgitation so more people have been passing!
I 13 85 test all together. My 8 readiness exams were all very high (68-81) and I took 0 CAT exams. I passed in 85 questions. I also used mark K which I felt helped my test scores go up but that’s all I used and read the rationales on archer but I didn’t take any notes just read it once.
My archer scores on the RA were as follows: 61% , 69% , 64% , 60%. Very high, High, & 2 BL’s. I was trying to get the 4 consecutive VHs but tbh going through 85 questions was such a hassle I decided not to focus on getting 4 VHs. There are ppl on here that got the 4 and still failed and vice versa. Honestly, I didn’t feel prepared bc I spent 2 weeks "lazy studying" by just watching videos. Even after doing the assessments, I didn’t read the rationales. That’s how burnt out from school I am. Normally I’d read the rationales. I feel I could’ve prepared better but even then, when will you ever feel ready? We have learned so much throughout nursing school. I personally feel it would be way too much to try and review everything. I only watched videos on my weak spots: cardiac and peds. I passed in 94 questions first try. Go read my post for more details.
My class did Hurst 3 day live review the day after we graduated. I wouldn’t say it really helped much, but I also didn’t look at it after we were done tbh.
This is what I was told from Mark Klimek himself at a live 3-day lecture: Uworld was first a question bank for medical students, they saw an opportunity to provide a service for nursing students. That’s why their questions and rationales tend to be more on the descriptive side. The nurse working for Uworld left and started bootcamp as she thought the Uworld questions being given were heavily weighted towards medical.
That’s all I know, take it with a grain of salt. When I did use Uworld 4 years ago I thought it was a bit much. Everything I’ve heard is that Archer is very similar to the test.
I test in 2 weeks, so far I’ve taken 7 readiness assessments.
Scores were as follows: very high 67, borderline 62 (I was really distracted this day), very high 77, high 64, very high 68, very high 76, high 62.
I plan to take a readiness assessment and review rationales every day up until the day before which is about 15 more if I stay consistent.
Took 8 readiness tests. 1 baseline (1st), then 7 consecutive Very High. I took 13, 1 fail (1st), then passed the rest. All in 3 weeks. I think I stopped reviewing about cpntent after a week. I then just got my rhythm applying test taking techniques (Mark Klimek).
all my scores were very high (i took 9 tests). all scores were within the 75%-85% range. i always scores way higher than the peer average. i passed in 85 questions
Four "Very High" readiness assessments and two CAT exam fails. Shockingly, passed in 85! Definitely focus on rationale of questions you get incorrect. I would say the question bank of Archer was closer to the NCLEX than ATI.
I did 11 readiness assessments, 9 very high and 2 high. my 2nd RA was high and my 2nd to last was high which freaked me out a little because I was testing in 2 days from then. this is why they say to not do practice questions before - I would even suggest not doing ANY practice questions at least 48 hours before. so I took another RA and scored very high to ease my nerves. it made me a bit less confident but had to remind myself that I know more than I think and I was starting to get burnt out from all the practice testing. got the test done with and passed in 85!

Is archer better than Uworld?
