DON’T BUY THIS!
Whatever you do, do NOT pay for the full version of the app. I paid for the highest version of the app, which claims you get 800 practice questions. That is not the case! Every day I take practice questions on this app, and I am continually given the same questions I’ve answered before. I have been given many of the same questions three or four times. The app keeps track of how many of the 800 questions you have left, and the number continues to go down. Aka every time they give me a question I’ve answered before, they subtract from that 800. There is no way there are 800 questions in this app. After answering over 150 questions, and getting so many repeats, I would guess there probably aren’t more than 250 questions. Also, the questions do not at all resemble the ones on the ASWB practice exam. Long story short, do not buy this app. It’s a scam, misleading, and a waste of your money. Just buy the practice exam ASWB puts out.Show lessmafanr2811leads

Hi there! So sorry to hear about this issue! Please contact us through the app and we’ll get this problem sorted out asap. We appreciate your understanding and support.Helped me pass without paying hundreds!!
This app is awesome. I used it as my main study material for about 4 months, and could view my progress in the app over that time. I also passed my exam on the first try! I contacted customer support in the beginning and they were great and responded very quickly. I definitely recommend this app for the ASWB exam, however it does freeze quite a bit. The content is great though!Show lessHjfhdj
Helpful app!
Just passed the LMSW. I got the 800 question version of the app. Highly recommend for studying on the go, whether you have a few minutes or hours. I really liked the reminders, question of the day, and how much flexibility you have when building your exams. The app never froze on me in IOS, but did reset on its own and deleted all my progress which sort of sucked. It was nice to get a “good luck” email from pocket prep before my exam! I also recommend taking the $85 ASWB practice exam if you can. It gives you the best idea of what the exam is really like. There were a lot more scenario based questions than I expected. It’s normal to never feel ready, so just schedule your exam, study, and go for it. Good luck, friends! The world needs good social workers more than ever. ❤️Show lessAmyfemveg

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review, and congratulations on passing your exam! We’re so thrilled you enjoyed the app. We wish you the best!Definitely worth the $40
I bought the 800 question option, and it was definitely worth getting and I highly recommend. I passed on my first try with close to a 90% and I’ve been out of school for over 5 years, not working in social work, completed my MSW on the macro, not clinical, track, and had about one week to study, so I had the odds stacked against me. I also had one of the more difficult level exams. This app was very helpful, and I found it slightly harder than the questions on the actual exam. I used it with the Mometrix study guide, and paid for the ASWB practice test. I HIGHLY recommend doing the ASWB practice test. Although the information provided on this app and in the study guide were very useful, the ASWB practice test provided the most accurate representation of the actual exam.
My criticisms of the app are the amount of times it freezes up, touch controls not working, shuts down in the middle of tests, etc. The developers really need to fix those issues.
Good luck to all future test takers!Show lessShimChic
Great content but extremely glitchy
Disappointed with the constant bugs with this app and support offers no explanation. The amount of questions and their explanations are amazing, however, my stats of the number of questions I’ve answered keeps changing incorrectly. I purchased the premium version to access all the questions but with the stats keeping changing, I occasionally see that they represent the free version so I keep reloading to more errors. Please fix all these bugs so I can accurately keep track of my progress.Show lessCrazyjanee
Pretty good overall
I paid $20 for the package that offered 400 extra questions and overall felt it was worth the money. I didn’t experience issues with the app freezing like other reviewers noted. I liked the convenience of the app for studying on the go or before bed, as well as the explanations it provides for the correct answer on each question. However, my main annoyance is that there were MANY repeated questions which were each time counted towards the allotted amount of “400 extra questions” that I paid for. I probably got more like 300 separate questions.Show lesseld6176
Please fix the constant freezing issue!
The ONLY reason I cannot give this app 5 stars is because it freezes CONSTANTLY and it is always logging me out! The app has a lot of bugs that should be fixed especially since users are required to pay to a fee to have access to the premium version; other than that, I believe this app is AMAZING in terms of preparing for the actual exam! The questions on the actual exam aren’t as detailed as the questions on the app, but the app is great for learning the content that may appear on the exam. I would recommend taking the ASWB practice exam to get a genuine feel for how the questions will be worded on the actual exam.Show lessVon, LMSW
Great Tool
This app is a great tool for exam prep. Passed my exam today with 12 questions more than I needed to meet the passing threshold. I used this app as a study supplement AFTER focusing on learning content FIRST. The app reinforces content through the quizzes that provide an explanation, whether you get the answer right or wrong.
The quizzes also get you accustomed to reading questions similar to those you’ll encounter on the exam. That said, here’s a caveat; the questions on the app are not representative of the bulk of questions on the exam. The actual exam requires familiarity with content knowledge. I recommend Dawn Apgar’s study manual as a primary tool to drill content and this app as a supplement for content reinforcement. The premium version is worth the money, despite some persistent technical issues.Show lessSophisticatedTroglodyte
PASSED ON THE FIRST TRY!!!
Trust me when I say that this app is a must have when prepping for your exam.! I utilized this app along with Dawn Apgar's ASWB practive book. The two items coincided and was my primary study tool. I was extremely overwhelmed during the beginning of the studying process for this exam. however, this app provided me with structure and essential feedback regarding my areas of weakness.! since my use of this app i have influenced others who are in various feeds such as nursing and physical therany to also use as a means to study for their exams! thank you pocket prep!!Show lessLLU GRAD
Helpful Content
The app is really helpful in helping you prepare for the CSW exam. The questions are really good, and I like that there are explanations for each question. The exam readiness feature was also really helpful as well. However, the app is EXTREMELY slow and freezes, and it takes a while for the content to load. Also, sometimes if your account is linked to Facebook you have to log back in several times. If this was improved that app would definitely get 5 stars. Buying the premium version was the best decision I’ve made.Show lessFeFe200
