Worth Buying Premium!

I purchased premium for one month and it was definitely worth it. I passed my LCSW exam on the first try. I won’t say I passed due to this app alone, but using it together with my other study materials I believe was very helpful! I was able to see my weakest subject, and I believe I did all 1,000 questions (if not then super close). I logged into the app through my laptop and that resembled the test more closely, so I’d encourage you to do that! Practice taking it on a laptop with no distractions and sit for the whole test. Good luck to anyone reading this, you got this!!!

User friendly, accurate information, great prep

Got this for the ASWB Clinical Licensure Exam and passed on my first time! It is inexpensive compared to many study tools and includes 3 different practice tests, so is well worth it.

You’ll get out of it what you put into it. Do a ton of practice questions and get used to the styles of questions, but also go out of your way to learn the material your missing. The daily questions help with consistent exposure to the material and reminding you to use the app.

Highly recommend it!

Pretty Sure I Passed Because of This App

The questions and explanations on Pocket Prep prepared me for the NCE better than any other practice test I took. Especially in terms of how the questions are phrased on the test. The NCE will trip you up with semantics, dude. But IMO the questions on Pocket Prep were harder than those on the NCE, which was what I was hoping for. I ended up going into the exam with more knowledge than what I was even tested on 😂 I liked how I could measure my progress, create my own tests, and and review flagged or missed questions. Very grateful to have used this studying tool.

Not worth it

Studying for EPPP. The questions are valid but do not reflect the type of questions on the exam. This app may give you a false sense of security when comparing it to other apps second the same function

I Passed!

I downloaded this app and used the free features for about 18 months before finally paying for a month as I prepared for my exam. I took the mock exam about 2 weeks before my test. I scored a 107 on this first practice. I then did EVERY question until I had gotten each question correct at least once. I then took the mock exam the night before my test and I improved by 20 points. I passed my exam with flying colors. I loved how I could break the practice questions into 10 question chunks or for a time limit. When I didn’t understand why a question was wrong, I could explore why. I HIGHLY recommend this app!

Important info for anyone taking MSW exam

I’ve heard lots of people recommending this app but I wouldn’t. I noticed I got a lot of questions that I didn’t know, which made me think that I needed this app to help me study. I started beating myself up for not knowing things which drove me to buy the $20 a month subscription. But upon further inspection, I noticed that a lot of questions weren’t from the KSAs and aren’t part of the exam at all! If you end up using it, know that your statistics (like at the end of a quiz) are rubbish because it’s going to pull questions from other professions. In the end, all it did was make me waste time learning things that aren’t relevant and made me question what I did know. If you found this review helpful, give it a thumbs up so others can see it!

not great for lcsw-c

i used this app for my LMSW exam and loved it, but that was back in 2020 when they only charged $40 for unlimited access to the premium version. for the clinical exam, i tried using this app again and paid the quarterly amount for premium a few months before the exam. although, it was helpful in that it got me prepared for the structure of the exam and refreshed a few topics for me; i found that overall it felt like a waste of money. i stopped using it closer to the exam because some questions were out of the scope of SW practice and it became more stressful than helpful. i took the exam and passed first try, but felt like almost NOTHING from this app was on my exam. the app feels like 80% recall and the exam was maybe 10% recall. the aswb practice exam was actually far more helpful than any of the practice i did on this app.

NCE Prep

I used this app to prepare for the NCE and found it to be super helpful to practice the question format and get comfortable testing in counseling. I did find that the test had more application questions instead of questions about who created this theory or when did this theory come out like I believed from using this app. I did pass my exam on the first try thanks to the Rosenthal purple book and CDs and this app. Just wanted to leave this review to help those approaching the exam freaking out because it seems to be little details that are easy to get confused.

It works!!

I passed both my CPCE and my NCE. I used this app in conjunction with the “purple book” and free mock exams online. This app was extremely convenient when I wanted to study in drive thrus, check out lines, at school pick up waiting for my kids.. anywhere!! The information is relevant and useful. However, I would not only use this app- use it alongside other materials. One way they could improve the app is by asking questions that reinforce information learned in the previous question- build the questions off of each other for memory recall! Overall, this app was worth the price and helped me through two very difficult exams and for that I am grateful!

Worth IT!!!!

I utilized this app recently for my LCSW studies and I have to say it helped me a lot. To be completely transparent I used this app, the Dawn Apgar book, 3 months of intense study time especially- Saturdays and Sundays (I work full-time, 5 days per week)and the Dawn Apgar 6 month subscription- I preferred this app though). I did a subscription of this app for 2 months and did all 1000 questions. I loved the fact that there was an explanation for why the selected answer was either right or wrong and also a review, if applicable, of the other answer options or why the other answers would not be applicable.
I loved the stats, gave a great boost of confidence and I loved the ability to flag and review. The practice exam felt real…my anxiety doing it told me so.
I passed my LCSW, 1st try, and I can honestly say the questions on the actual exam were strongly inline with the content of this app, even some things that were not in the Dawn Apgar book. I would not say throw out Dawn Apgar because it helped as well. But in terms of learning to answer questions and tracing the brain to answer then, given the volume, this is a great addition. Like I said…WORTH IT!!!
