Some REx-PN candidates use Archer's NCLEX-PN bank anyway. It covers much of the same nursing, but it also trains you on question types and units the REx-PN does not use. We make Medibara. Archer's facts come from its own site, read in October 2026, and "Not listed" means the site does not say.

How Archer's NCLEX-PN prep fits the REx-PN
The REx-PN and the NCLEX-PN both test entry-level practical nursing, and NCSBN builds both. A good NCLEX-PN bank still teaches pharmacology, safety and priority setting. The differences are in the format and the Canadian context.
| What the REx-PN has | Medibara | Archer NCLEX-PN |
|---|---|---|
| Exam: the REx-PN, for Ontario (RPN) and British Columbia (LPN) | A REx-PN track | Built for the NCLEX-PN in the United States |
| No NGN case studies, bow-tie or matrix questions | None | Standalone and unfolding case studies, bow-tie and other NGN items |
| Multiple choice, select all that apply, calculation, exhibit and graphic | Multiple choice and select all that apply. Other formats are not in the mocks yet | Multiple choice and select all that apply. Other formats: Not listed |
| SI units, such as mmol/L, and Celsius | SI units and Celsius | SI units: Not listed |
| Canadian terms, such as "unregulated care provider" | Canadian terms | Not listed |
| 90 to 150 questions in four hours | With Plus, an exam simulation of 90 to 150 questions in four hours | CAT exams, built for the NCLEX-PN |
| Pass guarantee | None | Sure PASS is worded for the NCLEX. REx-PN cover: Not listed |

If you use Archer for the REx-PN
If you already own Archer, these steps keep it closer to the REx-PN.
- Skip the NGN case studies and bow-tie questions, or treat them as extra reading.
- Convert lab values to SI units as you go, and learn the SI ranges, because that is how the exam shows them.
- Read the REx-PN test plan. It lists what each of the eight Client Needs areas covers on the Canadian exam.
- Add Medibara's free REx-PN lessons for the Canadian terms and units.
