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 ### 4/5 — Almost Perfect *2019-09-04, version 6.7.3* I just took my NREMT exam yesterday, and PocketPrep was a huge help in preparing me! When I was going through the questions, the explanations for each of the answers were extremely helpful, and helped me to understand exactly why an answer was wrong or right. The only reason why I give the app 4 stars is that I wish there was a way to filter out the questions you’ve already done - I understand that repetition is helpful, but as someone who bought the app close to her exam I would have liked to be able to fly through all the questions at least once. Thank you PocketPrep! ### 4/5 — Extremely Helpful App! *2019-08-07, version 6.7.3* I bought this app about two weeks before taking the NREMT cognitive exam. I had taken the NREMT cognitive exam once before in 2012, but since then I had let it expire. I can tell you that buying the 800 question version of this app helped me immensely with passing the exam. The scenario questions are good, and the explanations for each question are even better. Be sure you review these explanations thoroughly, because learning why you missed a question and what each answer option actually means is vital. In my opinion, the information from the explanations, including the explanations to the wrong answers, were more important than the questions themselves. This is because the questions I had on the NREMT cognitive exam were not very similar to the questions in the app. Because of the difference in question structure, I rated the app 4 out of 5 stars. This app, used in conjunction with an EMT book and possibly another review source will help you pass the NREMT without a doubt. Also, I didn’t experience any of the bugs that other people have been complaining about on my iPhone 7. ### 5/5 — I passed because of this app *2019-05-17, version 6.7.3* Emt pocket prep prepared me for the test for sure. It’s so easy to use and it’s extremely useful. I bought 400 quests for about 15 or 20 ( I don’t really remember but it was not over $20) and I studied all of them. I horribly failed the NREMT-E or -B test the first time I took it bc I didn’t study, and honestly I hate studying. But this app makes it so easy and I promise it’s worth it to get that letter saying you passed the RNEMT CBT. If you wanna pass that test, get this app and buy some question and I promise you won’t regret it. ### 5/5 — Key to my Passing National Registry *2019-05-10, version 6.7.3* I used this application to prepare for my national registry test & not sure if I would have passed without it. I relied on my text book & class notes to a large degree, but this app is so convenient I used it at least 2-3 times a day to help apply my class room knowledge to a multiple question formats. Explanations were extremely helpful, especially for the questions I missed. Being able to tailor a test to specific subject areas was very beneficial to work on my weaknesses. ### 4/5 — Decent *2019-02-26, version 6.7* The presentation, content and ease of use is all great, but the app is painstakingly terrible. Frequently crashing or freezing. You’ll get nearly through a practice exam and the app will go into neurogenic shock. Thankfully, if you own a computer, you can access your profile on an internet browser. Problems were nearly nonexistent. While utilizing the app to test your knowledge, be sure to read and understand the narratives. Those who claim the actual NREMT test is nearly identical, are full of it. Know your medical terminology! ### 5/5 — Absolutely Amazing! *2019-01-13, version 6.7* Here was my predicament 6 days out from my EMT exam: took the class 6 months ago, hadn’t touched the material in a while, and the course I took was an accelerated one so I missed some stuff here and there. Downloaded this app and got the 400 question plan and coupled with the crash course EMT book, just went on an absolute tear up until the exam and passed on my first attempt! This app helped so much to prepare and helped me build my confidence for it. Highly recommend! ### 3/5 — Great study tool. But don’t use this as you’re only study tool. *2018-12-29, version 6.7* I can finally say I passed my emt registry. This app played a huge role into it, but it was only after using practice emt test with this app. I seen real results after using both because they go hand-in-hand. This app gives you the information and tools to learn while using the practice registry tests will give you the ability to not get psyched out during the long process of taking the actual registry test. Overall I recommend this app because it’s really helpful and the app developers give regular updates to make it better for everyone. Thank you for your time and good luck on registry. ### 4/5 — PASS the registry with this app *2018-11-27, version 6.7* This app was a life saver for me! I didn’t pass the national registry the first time I took it. I found pocket prep as an alternative way to study and it is the best study app ever. I passed the second time I took the exam because of this app. I highly recommend buying the full version of the app. It comes with 800 practice questions very similar to the format of the actual exam and explains in detail the answer choices behind every question if you choose incorrectly. You can take small exams focusing on one or more subjects and the app keeps your progress saved. The only reason I’m giving the app a 4/5 stars is because it crashes occasionally. ### 3/5 — Good way to study. Buggy app though. *2018-10-15, version 6.5.6* I’ve been using this app for a while now. Overall it stays up to date with the latest information on the NREMT exam. My only complaint is that it will randomly crash on me when I try to start it up. Or it’ll be supper slow to load everything up. It’s also overheated my phone before when it was the only app running, and yes I restart my phone and I keep it updated. I have paid for the entire thing. Overalls it is a great app. I only gave it 3 stars because of how buggy it is. But if you are wanting to be an EMT I strongly suggest you download the app. But be warned that there are sometimes where you will need to be “patient” with this app. Yes that was me trying to make a medical pun... I’m aware that it was not funny. Good luck to those who also desire to be an EMT. :) Highkey use your book and people more though. They more helpful. But this isn’t bad either. :p ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Content is fantastic, app needs a little work *2019-02-02, version 6.7* I have very much enjoyed the content of this app, questions are situational and challenging and content is accurate. The exam builder option is great, seeing a percentage metric based on my responses is a wonderful tool. There are some extreme glitches within the app that I’m hoping can be fixed whenever the next update becomes available. They’re pretty frustrating for paying $25 for this app. Most of the time I have to close out and restart the app to resolve the problem. When clicking on the “Quick Ten Exam” option I frequently get a error box that opens prompting me to either click OK or Refresh: “Cannot find Questions”. And I have trouble with the Question of the Day (QOTD) loading...I often get a dialog box that opens that says “Loading Question if the Day...” with a spinning circle of death above it that requires I close out and reopen the app. On 2 occasions now, I have been prompted to enter my email and password as if I’m a new user(?) prior to loading all of my information. Exam readiness section worked the first day I downloaded the app but not after that. ### 2/5 — Disappointing Fun *2019-08-01, version 6.7.3* I genuinely enjoyed the format of the questions and what they asked. I bought the ultimate pass for 25$ because of the money back guarantee as a safety net. The app itself is really buggy and laggy though making things annoying. But the worst part is the none of the questions I was asked in the app where on the NREMT. Over 800 questions and not a single. I went to go get a refund but than I’m told I had to have atleast 80% on my quiz overall scores. I wasn’t told that originally. I ended with 70% So I spent my money, for a laggy app that kept didn’t help me at all and who’s refund policy wasn’t straight forward. Not very fun ### 2/5 — Many issues and bugs with this App *2019-04-21, version 6.7* I purchased the full version of this application for $25 and it had been overall helpful for studying in the beginning but there are so many bugs and persistent freezing the more I use it. Some functionality of this app freezes when you try to use it such as the exam readiness feature, the question of the day, and even just the dashboard. I have tried refreshing the app and even restarting my phone and it still lags and freezes. I am supposed to take the NREMT in a week and I have to study according to when the app actually functions properly. In addition, the contact me function on there website doesn’t even work so I can not even contact them for assistance!!! ### 2/5 — Just ok *2019-03-05, version 6.7* The questions are good but it keeps repeating the same questions over and over. The app is really slow to load and respond. And one day out of nowhere, all of my progress and saved questions were just erased and I was back to the beginning. This was a setback in my studying as I had flagged ~ 200 questions I wanted to revisit, and didn’t want to spend time going through all the other ones I knew. I contacted the app developers and they said sorry, nothing they can do, it’s just a bug that they’re working through. Disappointing considering the high price of this app. I’d try a different one if I could do it over again ### 2/5 — Be careful *2019-01-06, version 6.7* I took the NREMT yesterday (Jan 5, 2019) and the questions in this app are WAY easier than what you get on the real thing. It's still a helpful app but I highly recommend not to rely too much on it. I'd say, if you struggle with the questions in this app then you're not ready for the NREMT. If you do well with the questions in this app like me (i had consistent 90% averages) then you need to be cautious and continue being diligent with your studying! What I really did NOT like about this app is that the same questions repeated quite a bit, even questions I answered correctly from the get-go. (We're paying for the number of questions! Plus it wastes time) What I DO like a lot about this app are the explanations with detailed references (book, chapter, page). That way you can easily go back to the book and see for yourself what you missed. ### 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. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Questions repeat if you pay for upgrade *2019-08-05, version 6.7.3* The app is a great studying tool, the explanations are very clear and very helpful, it breaks everything down into categories which is extremely helpful. I paid the $20 for the upgraded version. The only thing that bothers me is that you don’t get 500 DIFFERENT questions, the questions repeat. If you’re gonna charge someone for 500 questions, it should be 500 different ones. I haven’t taken the NREMT cognitive exam yet, but these questions did help with my final for the class so I expect they’ll help for my cognitive exam as well ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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!! ### 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. ### 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! ### 5/5 — Study hard, pass easily!! *2019-10-05, version 6.7.3* I took an expedited course that was pretty intense as far as how fast things were taught. There was a lot of self study. A classmate suggested this app and I got it. I like how it allows you to review the question whether you get it correct or wrong. I ended up taking about 30 questions a day using the quick test button. That’s enough to get your brain working. The day before the NREMT I just stopped studying and cleared my head. I checked in to the testing center and passed the first time. I can say that this app definitely gets you ready to pass. Good luck!! **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to leave us a kind review! We are so glad to hear you passed your NREMT, and that we were able to assist in the process. We would love to hear more about your story for consideration in a larger testimonial. If interested, send us a message in the app by going to Settings, Help & Message Center, then hit the green convo button. Congrats again! -April ### 5/5 — Wonderful App! *2019-09-13, version 6.7.3* I took a hybrid course in 8 weeks for EMT. The material was very fast paced, and I passsd the initial course, but was grossly underprepared for the NREMT. I bought the full version of this app after my first failure, and went through the set of 800 questions 4 times completely. I flagged the ones I got wrong, and reviewed them at the end. I ended the last time with an 87% overall. I passed the second time and it cut off at 70! I credit it to the material in the app. The questions are NOT phrased the same as the NREMT. Not directly anyway. However, almost all the material from the exam was covered in this app! If you dedicate to studying and know why the questions are right or wrong, you will pass! ### 5/5 — Worth the money if you want to pass!! *2019-09-09, version 6.7.3* I was kinda skeptical about paying for it at first because it seemed a little too good to be true for the price and what all comes with it but I recommend this to literally anyone taking their registry.. it helped me so much and I honestly think this is part of the reason I passed. Not only because it keeps track of what your weak spots are but because it gets you thinking in the same way the test will and helps test anxiety like no other!! Super super happy with this app!! ### 5/5 — Thanks, Pocket Prep! *2019-07-30, version 6.7.3* One of the biggest problems I had studying for the NREMT exam was finding practice problems that were comparable to the ones on the actual test. After failing my first attempt I stumbled upon this app and it was the best thing that could've happened to me. The price tag on the full version was a bit hard to swallow at first but the 800 questions of quality and realistic practice, the ability to track progress in each content area, and the convenient and portable nature of the app helped me to pass the test in 70 questions on my second attempt. Give it a shot! ### 5/5 — Must have for NREMT exam *2019-05-24, version 6.7.3* I recently finished my EMT basics course at my local college, and in getting ready to take my National Registry exam I searched for a good study guide to help practice exam questions. This populated first on the list and for a very good reason, with 800 questions to create exams from (slider allows you to choose amount of questions you prefer) you are quizzed on every topic on the NREMT. Furthermore, you can track your progress, identify which areas you are proficient/delinquent in and focus on those specific areas. An added benefit is that if you complete all 800 questions and fail to pass the NREMT exam on your first try you get the app price refunded, so you have nothing to lose. I purchased the app one week prior to my exam and passed it easily, I felt very confident going in to the exam and what to expect. As a side note, as mentioned above, I did take an EMT course prior to using the app and used the app in conjunction with my course book for reference, so please don’t assume that just by using the app you will pass the NREMT. That being said, I am very pleased with this app and will utilize it for my Intermidiate and Paramedic level National Registry exams as well. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
