Comparison

NCLEX prep with a pass guarantee, and who each one covers

We sell no guarantee, so this page cannot end with us. It exists because the guarantee is the thing people buy on and the conditions are the thing nobody reads, and one of them asks for something an internationally educated nurse cannot produce.

What the published outcome data says

In 2025, first-time internationally educated candidates passed the NCLEX-RN at 47.3%, against 86.7% for first-time US-educated candidates.
source · read 15 September 2026
Of first-time internationally educated candidates educated in the Philippines, 22,793 sat the NCLEX-RN in 2025 and 10,433 passed, a rate of 45.8%.
source · read 15 September 2026
Repeat internationally educated candidates passed at 30.5% in 2025, so a second attempt is materially harder than a first.

What each product publishes

NCLEX Bootcamp

An NCLEX question bank with case-based video walkthroughs, printable cheat sheets and four readiness exams.

Plans run one month at $59, two months at $99 and three months at $129, discounted from $79, $159 and $239. Klarna instalments are offered.
source · read 15 September 2026
Publishes its bank as 2,600+ questions, built for the 2026 NCLEX.
Their own claim · source · read 15 September 2026
Includes 50 case-based video walkthroughs, 140+ printable cheat sheets, a Pass Targets tracker and an AI chat assistant they call Ask Bootcamp. All four are listed on every plan tier.
source · read 15 September 2026
The three Pass Targets are your overall score, how much of the question bank you have completed, and how many readiness exams you have taken.
source · read 15 September 2026
Offers a refund if you fail after meeting all three pass targets, on the two and three month plans only, bought at least 30 days before the exam. The one month plan carries no guarantee.
source · read 15 September 2026
The third condition of that refund is to "provide the name of your accredited nursing program in the US or Canada". A nurse educated in the Philippines has no such programme to name, so the guarantee as written does not describe her.
source · read 15 September 2026
States that 99% of its students who meet all targets pass. That figure is theirs, is conditioned on meeting the targets, and is not an independently audited rate.
Their own claim · source · read 15 September 2026
Support is a chat button on the site and an email address, team@bootcamp.com. No support hours are published, so a candidate ten to thirteen hours ahead of the US cannot tell when a reply is likely.
source · read 15 September 2026

What we could not verify

Free tier scope. Several buttons invite you to try it free, but no page we read states how many questions that is or for how long.
Whether the guarantee has an exception for internationally educated nurses. Their page states the US-or-Canada condition without qualification. We have not written to ask whether they waive it, so we cannot say either way.
Content for internationally educated nurses. We found none on their NCLEX pages. That is an absence of evidence, not evidence they have none.

UWorld NCLEX

A long-established NCLEX question bank sold in fixed access windows, with review videos, flashcards and adaptive tests.

Question-bank plans run from $139 for 30 days to $449 for 730 days, with book bundles from $184 to $494 and self-assessments at $25 each, or $100 for all six.
source · read 15 September 2026
Publishes bank sizes from 2,600+ questions on the shortest plan to 3,100+ on longer ones, including 600+ next generation items. The bank you get is tied to the length of window you buy.
Their own claim · source · read 15 September 2026
States that 98% of users who completed at least 75% of the question bank passed first time. That figure is theirs and is conditioned on completing three quarters of the bank.
Their own claim · source · read 15 September 2026
The free trial is 50 practice questions, valid for seven days, with no credit card required. The same page is headlined as offering 120+ free questions, which is the count across its free practice pages rather than the trial.
source · read 15 September 2026
Runs an educator-facing page about internationally educated nurses. It attributes to CGFNS, now trading as TruMerit, that 51% of VisaScreen applicants in 2024 were educated in the Philippines, down from 60%, across 24,733 applications; that is their page reporting a third party, which we have not checked at source.
Their own claim · source · read 15 September 2026
That page sells to schools, employers and recruiters, offering educator dashboards and institutional licensing. It is not a place an individual nurse buys anything.
source · read 15 September 2026

What we could not verify

Pass guarantee. We found none on the pages we read. That is not the same as confirming there is none.
Support hours. No timezone or response window is published on the pages we read, so we cannot say what an overseas candidate should expect.

Archer Review

An NCLEX question bank with computer adaptive tests, readiness assessments and video rationales, sold in one to six month plans.

NCLEX-RN plans run from $79 for one month of question bank and adaptive tests up to $599 for six months of their Intense PREP programme. Sure PASS, the tier that carries the guarantee, starts at $159 for one month.
source · read 15 September 2026
Publishes its NCLEX-RN bank as 3,100+ questions with 2026 updates, and 30+ readiness assessments and adaptive exams on every plan.
Their own claim · source · read 15 September 2026
Their guarantee requires first-time users to score high or very high on four consecutive readiness assessments before sitting. Their own page adds that results are not guaranteed and individual results may vary.
source · read 15 September 2026
The Sure PASS page states a 99% pass rate and footnotes it as based on self-reported outcomes from users who completed all Sure PASS programme requirements.
Their own claim · source · read 15 September 2026
Their NCLEX-RN plans page puts the same figure at 98.98%, not the 99% on the Sure PASS page. We are reporting both rather than picking one.
Their own claim · source · read 15 September 2026
The ArcherRN Exit Exam is a 150-question, five-hour simulation sold on its own at $59 for one month of access. The plans page describes the same exam as a $39 value when bundled, so the two figures on their site differ.
source · read 15 September 2026
They publish a Study Calendar in 4, 6, 9 and 12 week lengths, included with the paid plans rather than sold separately.
source · read 15 September 2026

What we could not verify

What a qualifying candidate actually receives on a fail. Their Sure PASS page sets out who qualifies but does not say whether the remedy is a refund, an extension or something else.
What the guarantee means for someone buying a second time. Their condition is written for "first-time users of Archer Review" and their page does not say whether that means first-time NCLEX candidates, first-time Archer customers, or both. We are not going to guess on a retake.
Free trial. Their pages offer a demo and sample questions but give no count or duration for the NCLEX product.

SimpleNursing

A nursing-school and NCLEX subscription built around animated lecture videos, study guides and a large question bank.

Publishes 4,500+ NCLEX-RN questions including 1,400+ in next generation formats, mapped to the 2026 NCLEX-RN Test Plan client-needs categories and the Clinical Judgment Measurement Model.
Their own claim · source · read 15 September 2026
Their NCLEX-RN prices are $60 a month, or $139 once for a 90-day pass. A Full Journey Pass is $312 once and covers nursing school and NCLEX-RN together.
source · read 15 September 2026
The Full Journey Pass includes 24 months of access and states that access is extended at no extra cost until you pass.
source · read 15 September 2026
Their two live pricing pages do not match. One publishes a 60-day NCLEX-RN tier at $104 and puts the bank at 4,000 questions; the other lists no 60-day tier at all and puts the bank at 4,500+. We are not quoting a single figure for either.
source · read 15 September 2026
The free trial is five days with no credit card required.
source · read 15 September 2026
Runs a page for internationally educated nurses. Its own copy names no country, and does not mention the Philippines, Filipino nurses, CGFNS or VisaScreen. Australia and Nigeria appear only inside testimonials.
source · read 15 September 2026
That page publishes no price and no support hours, so a nurse reading it from outside the US learns neither what it costs nor when anyone would answer her.
source · read 15 September 2026

What we could not verify

Which bank size is current. Their own pages say 4,000 and 4,500+ on the same day, and we have no way to tell which is the live number.
Whether the 60-day tier is still sold. It is on one pricing page and missing from the other, which we read within minutes of each other.

Where we differ

Every flashcard names the page it came from, and states a number only where that page states it. A build check reads all 140 and fails if one asserts a figure its cited source does not contain.
The question bank is weighted the way the 2026 NCLEX-RN Test Plan weights it, and the readiness exams carry the same eighteen case-study items the real one does.
We publish no pass rate, because we have no outcome data. A pass rate from a company's own students who finished its own programme is not a rate you can apply to yourself.
The licensure tracker covers the part before the exam: credentials evaluation, board application, the Authorization to Test, scheduling. It holds what your own board told you rather than restating rules that differ by board.

Do not choose us if

A guarantee is what you are shopping for. We do not offer one, so on the only question this page asks, buy from someone else.
You trained in the US or Canada. Bootcamp's refund is open to you on the two and three month plans, and it is a better deal than anything we can match.
You want access extended until you pass. SimpleNursing's Full Journey Pass states that and we state nothing like it.
