Great Supplemental Prep!
I just passed on the first try with the help of Pocket Prep! I used the app to quiz my knowledge of the content I was studying, and used the web browser version for the mock exams. I loved the convenience of a study tool at my finger tips and used it everyday, even when I was not doing extensive studying through other methods. Using the app everyday really kept me on my toes and helped me to retain information, especially when it came it repetition. Make sure you take advantage of the explanations, even when you are getting questions right because the questions may not be exactly like the test and the explanations helped me rationalize while answering questions during the exam.Show lessCaprice k.

Congrats on passing your exam!Gamified study sessions helped me PASS!
Thank you Pocket Prep for being such an amazing app, it truly helped me keep motivated to study especially with your new Level Up feature! It was really cool to see how excited I got each time I completed a level - it was really helpful to have the sections separated. Seeing the questions I got wrong again really helped make me to remember them. Really appreciated both free and paid features for the Social Work Masters Exam. Definitely could not have done it without you!!Show lessFinally an LSW!

Congrats on passing your exam!! What an achievement. We are glad that we could be a part of your study journey.I passed!
I took my exam today and passed!! And this was the only study tool I used, because I liked the easily accessible digital platform, and that I could do it on the go while commuting to and from work. I actually found that the questions on my official test were easier than the questions in the app, so I guess that’s a good sign that I was well prepared. However, there were a lot more questions about assessment and intervention planning (like crisis planning in rural hospital settings) than I expected. There was a lot more focus on psychoanalysis and other clinical theory questions on the Pocket Prep app that didn’t show up on my exam much at all. However, overall I felt really prepared just from using this app every day. I would totally recommend.Show lessAyyybrams
App is okay only for recall terms, that’s it! No pass guarantee!
I purchased the full 800 question version of the app and it’s just okay. It did not help me pass the exam because the questions were nothing alike! But the app was good with certain recall terms. Speaking of not passing, the app claims to have a pass money back guarantee which is false. They require you to have scored at least 80% in order to get your money back, seeing that is very unfair. If we are studying for the exam we aren’t going to have that all the time! Very disappointed! I wouldn’t recommend someone paying for this app, put your money towards something more beneficial. There are better resources out there.Show lesszebbasheesh
Useful but not exclusively
Purchased the full version and it was very helpful in reinforcing content from Apgar's study guide. I passed my exam an hour ago and I think it's important to note, like others have, that the questions on the actual exam are nothing like the app. The test is mostly application questions where you are asked how you would approach a client/problem based on the methods, principles and values of social work. You will need to know enough about the material to inform your decision and you will have a few recall type questions as well, but the official practice test from aswb is really the only way you will be able to get an idea of what the exam is really like.Show lessPaperthink
Need Someone to contact me
I bought this app when I was using a Samsung phone a year ago then changed my phone and haven’t been able to get the 800 questions. I did my exam in 2017 and failed with two points and I would love if your company can please unlock the rest of the questions for me. When I bought their was a passing guarantee and I didn’t pass I’m trying it once more. Please assist me. ThanksShow lessNamelokai
Great studying material
I recently passed my LMSW exam and believe that this app really helped me reacquaint myself with the material as well as helped me begin to dissect how questions are worded. My biggest concern with this app is that I paid $40 for 800 questions but that in the end I probably only got about 400 questions due to the exams repeating questions very often. After I finished with the “800” questions I did reset my stats and started building larger exams (30-45 questions) and at that point I started receiving new questions I hadn’t gotten before. This app is also very buggy and would freeze very often. All in all, I think it is a great resource to study for the LMSW exam, it just needs some things fixed.Show lessjennifer criscuolo
A Must Buy!
I just passed the LMSW exam! I am so glad I purchased this app! I earned my MSW over 10 years ago and never took the licensure exam because I went straight to law school. I had to re-learn so much and this app kept me focused on the areas where I needed the most help. I purchased the ultimate level because I wanted all the practice I could get. Even though the questions are not formatted to match the ASWB exams, the mere practice helped me with terms, theories, and application. I take the subway in NYC everyday so to be able to use the app offline was amazing. I will definitely purchase from this company again when it’s time for the LCSW exam.Show lessDopaliciousTee
So glitchy
This app is incredibly helpful and has guided my studying for my aswb exam. HOWEVER, for the amount of money you have to pay for full access the app should not be as glitchy and hard to use as it is. It freezes, asks the same questions over and over in the same test and sometimes crashes. Worst of all, 5 days before my test my app restarted for whatever reason and lost all of my progress and was telling me that I need to repurchase the questions. Thankfully I was able to restore my purchase in the app but all of my progress disappeared. This app is so helpful content wise but is so difficult and frustrating to use sometimes, which is the last thing someone wants to experience before taking such an important exam.Show lessnmj18282
Great for on the go studying, recommend the ASWB practice test!
This app was great for on the go studying! Some questions were repeated, but overall the questions covered different domains. Also, it provided explanations for why an answer was correct/incorrect which was helpful. This was great when I would have 5-10 minutes of down time. However, I STRONGLY recommend purchasing the ASWB practice exam for $85. It’s expensive but it’s most like the real test, and I don’t think I would have passed without it. It gives you basically the same structure as the exam. I used this pocket app, a bock, and the practice exam and passed on my first try! Good luck!!!Show lessSamantha June
