## What is EMT Pocket Prep?

Pocket Prep is an award-winning tool in mobile learning and exam preparation. Pocket Prep allows you to study anywhere, anytime, right from your mobile device. We strive to make studying more efficient by redefining how you prepare for the NREMT® Emergency Medical Technician (Basic) exam.

* Academics’ Choice “Smart Media” award winner
* EdTech Digest “Cool Tool” award winner

The Science Behind Mobile Learning:
Overloading your brain with too much information at once is a common study mistake. Research has shown that smaller, more frequent study sessions are the key to knowledge retention. In other words, taking short quizzes on the go is a much more effective means of exam preparation than reading page after page in a textbook. Apps offer the benefit of interaction, which means you’re far more likely to remember a concept you engage with rather than one you’ve only read about.

Take your NREMT® studies with you, no matter where life takes you.

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2023-12-30*

I have a HORRIBLE learning disability- a couple actually, used to have BAD test nerves and once I found out why this app glued my confidence and I was not anxious once during registry. 

OODA for each question. Slowed me down. 
This app makes it possible to learn your style of style and get you ready for the MCAT with the BASICS of learning how you learn. I’ve never been more impressed and I ALWAYS am sharing this app with friends. I bought the whole package and I was MORE than ready. 

at the end of registry. It’s NORMAL to feel like you failed because of the exam itself! 
This makes app life manageable AFTER the exam because going in and DURING I was FINE. 
Remember THOSE moments during the exam after downloading this app and enjoy yourself as you pass NREMT and become that EMT you dreamed of being! 

THANK YOU to the entire team of engineers/ entrepreneurs and of the like who made this app possible for me to confidently continue my education as I get ready for medical school exams.

### 4/5 — Love the app but has lots of technical bugs

*2020-06-26, version 6.7.9*

As far as study tools go for EMT review, this is the best one by far. The app features close to a thousand questions (if you get the premium version) with full breakdowns of every question with why the answer is correct as well as why the other options were incorrect. Definitely helpful and I feel much more confident in my knowledge due to this app. The reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is due to the software being buggy. I’ve been logged out many times randomly and as of recently I have trouble with the app being slow and freezing. In the exam builder portion I have troubles with the screen where you select which Units you will be quizzed on not loading properly and making it unable to choose any of the options and not allow me to take anything other than the Quick 10 exam. This problem only started in the past few weeks and I’ve had the app for months. I hope this doesn’t turn anyone away because it’s a great tool but it’s been slightly buggy recently

### 5/5 — Great way to stay on track with your studying!

*2020-04-10, version 6.7.6*

I loved the reminder to study each day, and the 10-question quizzes were easy to do multiple times throughout the day! I downloaded the app during the last month of my EMT course, and took the exam four weeks after finishing my class, which was yesterday. Got my results this morning, and passed on my first attempt! The 800 questions were a great way to identify my weak areas, and I used my text book to study more in those areas. This app was a perfect compliment to the class and book! And very convenient to use!!!

### 5/5 — Passed 2 times over 2 years

*2020-03-18, version 6.7.6*

I downloaded this app after I finished my EMT course in 2017 and took the NREMT for the first time. It helped immensely, it's what I used to study solely. It's convenient and covers everything on the NREMT. 2 years later I've been an active EMT and used it to study for my recert last minute  . I only had 2 weeks til my NREMT and I just studied a little a day between calls ( bc u know nremt differs from in field.) lol but ya I passed again w minimal effort bc this app is just so effective and amazing :) really really recommend!!

### 1/5 — App needs work

*2020-02-05, version 6.7.6*

Questions and content are great and definitely challenging. I got this app for its mobility so I can put in a few minutes of studying when I have a moment. But the app has a lot of issues. It takes a minute or two to connect to a next page, it’ll log me out without my knowing, there’s no “sign in” option (if there is then make it more obvious!), I cant resume my exams when I want to, and some options like the exam content won’t be visible. Like I said it has what I need, important stuff I need to study for the NatReg, but I’ve been operating this app for a while now and it gets really frustrating when I can’t just pull up the app and do what I want.

### 5/5 — Helpful Practice

*2020-02-04, version 6.7.6*

I used this app in conjunction with a few other items (EMT Prep, EMT Crash Course book). It’s been about 6 months since I finished my EMT class and I just got around to taking the test. With the help of this app, I was able to pass. The questions will repeat after a while, but I found it helpful in really cementing the topics. The app will show you which areas to focus on and give detailed explanations regarding each question. Definitely helpful if you need to study on the go.

### 3/5 — Great app when it works

*2020-01-24, version 6.7.6*

I will start with the good. The app has 800 questions that prepare you to take the NREMT and breaks it down into categories for you to study, which is great. You can track your progress, get the answers to questions with definitions of why you got it wrong. All that is great for an on the go study guide, BUT, and a HUGE but... THIS APP IS TOO UNSTABLE! For the amount of money you pay, I expect this app to work flawlessly, or at least the majority of the time. I’ve had the app one week and have had to uninstall and reinstall multiple times; my scores randomly reset; You randomly can’t use report builder, and scores for previous tests randomly disappear. Super frustrating, especially when you take your test in one more week and really are using this as a study tool! If the developers can fix the bugs, this would be a perfect app.

**Developer response:** Hi there! We appreciate your honest feedback and assure you, that what you described is not a typical behaviour of the app. Please contact us through the app and we’ll get this problem sorted out asap. We appreciate your understanding and support.

### 5/5 — Two words: Worth it

*2020-01-21, version 6.7.6*

I did a ton of research on different study materials for the NREMT and this one was the best rated/reviewed. I started with the trial, then did the cheapest upgrade. I completed all questions a few weeks before my test so I decided to upgrade to Ultimate to get more practice. I truly believe this app helped me pass the exam on my first try, getting cut off at question 70. 
Disclaimer: these are not exactly the same questions you will get on the exam because it CAN’T be. However, the questions are built similarly to the registry’s questions and it will help you learn how to answer them. I have recommended this app to all of the students who were in my class and highly recommend it for anyone who is taking it in the future. I will come back to this app when I go to school for Paramedic. Thank you!

**Developer response:** Thank you for truly inspiring feedback! It means a lot to our team!

### 3/5 — Not well structured

*2019-11-20, version 6.7.6*

My biggest issue right now is that I keep getting the same questions. Sometimes I will get a question twice during the same practice exam. I had 4 repeat questions during a 90 question practice exam with all topics selected.

If anything this app needs more options in settings. I would love for there to be an option to get only new questions (of the 800 they offer). 

I would also love to take a practice exam just of questions I have answered incorrectly in the past. I have understood the explanations given and have retained this new information.

I’ve recently finished my EMT Basic course and paid for the $25 version of this app as a study tool. My exam is in a few days, and if this app is so good I don’t want to feel like I am wasting my time answering questions that I’ve answered correctly 5 or 6 times already. It’s good- but it feels like it’s the only game in-town.

### 3/5 — Good for Learning. Bad for Test.

*2019-10-16, version 6.7.3*

The questions on the actual NREMT exam are constructed different. They are way harder than the questions on here. Once the app told me I answered all 800 questions I refreshed and answered them all again in each subject until I mastered them all and got at least a 97% in each subject. I had 795 questions answered right and went in a failed my exam. The 100% pass guarantee is not true. I would suggest definitely studying your book as much as you can. I have learned A LOT from being in my app nearly 24/7 over the last 3 weeks but not enough to pass the exam. There was stuff in that exam I had never heard of.
