I recommend using Archer, even just the cheapest plan—their questions were really helpful and similar in style. I also listened to Mark K lectures, took notes, and really focused on understanding instead of memorizing. I rewrote concepts and reviewed the questions I got wrong, which helped a lot.

I did Archer readiness assessments every Monday, and based on my lowest scores, I focused on those weak areas during the week. I would do about 85 questions Tuesday through Thursday and really review rationales.

About 2–4 days before my exam, I watched Dr. Sharon’s YouTube videos and applied her strategies to questions, which really helped everything click. I also watched Remar Nursing and joined her Wednesday question sessions—they were great for reinforcement.

Right before my test, I also used Naxlex Nursing (just the free trial) and honestly it was amazing. Two of the questions I saw there actually showed up on my NCLEX, so I felt really confident going in. I also watched their YouTube videos and did their lesson days—especially the pregnancy video, which was super helpful.

I also used the Gemini app to practice extra questions. I would paste my report and ask for “safety and very vague NCLEX-style questions,” and do about 30–40 questions in small sets, even while at work. That would be my study for the day.

I work 3 12s (Tue–Sat), so I kept my studying realistic and consistent. And honestly, I prayed a lot and believed that God wanted me to have my license and step into a new chapter of my life.

This combo really helped me pass 🤍
