You need this app!

I used this app for 7 months along with Rosenthal’s Orange Book on Audible to help me prepare. Before I got these tools, I had taken the four times. I passed in May 26 thanks to the help from this app.

Passed!

This app was one of the MAIN reasons I passed my exam. I started out doing smaller daily study sessions with this app and other NCE tools. I studied 100 questions a day WITH THIS APP ALONE a week before the test (10 questions every hour plus review). The easy mode allowed my confidence to boost, easily retain information, review, learn AND get familiar with the language. The hard mode, helped me get the rigor up I needed to prepare for the exam and the way it is worded. I answered over 1000 different questions with this app! I 100% recommend. The app doesn’t do the work for you, it brings the work to you, so it’s EASIER for you to do the work and the studying yourself!

Works well for me

I am also studying the purple book and it has similar questions. I think it pairs well with that tool.

Passed the CPCE

This app literally helped me pass my comps. I’m using it now to prep for the NCE, definitely purchase. You won’t be disappointed.

Buyer beware

I paid for this app for three consecutive months. In the third month, I was denied access to the premium features I purchased. I’m attempting to get this month refunded. Beware that this happens!

Great on Mac and iPhone

I’ve been using this on my phone and love that I can also use it on my Mac as well. Love the app, find it easy to use, and I think the raccoon is funny. Def recommend.

Very Helpful

I passed! I really enjoyed this app. The quiz questions align with the”Purple Book” and I like that you can adjust the difficulty level. It’s interactive and explains the answer of the question regardless if you get it right or wrong.

I passed!

I studied this app and the “purple book” relentlessly for the CPCE exam April 2026. I tested early in my courses so I still had 4 classes I hadn’t even taken yet- I passed the CPCE with a 96 on my first attempt!! I am continuing to use this app to study for my NCE which I will take in the fall of f 2026.
I love how this app allows you to take timed quizzes, full test, or quizzes with immediate feedback. I also appreciate that it tracks all of your missed questions and compile them into their own quiz so you can review what you missed. I also appreciate that you can take quizzes based on particular sections of the exam that you are not doing well in so that you can learn it better.
I use the app to take quizzes during every meal break, every day and evening, and any other free time that I had. It really paid off!

Congratulations on passing the CPCE on your first attempt! A 96 is a huge accomplishment, especially while still finishing your coursework. We’re so glad the timed quizzes, missed-question review, and category practice helped you stay consistent and focused. Thank you for sharing your success, and good luck as you continue preparing for the NCE this fall!

Great tool

I loved this app. I used a variety of resources to prepare for the exam. I used this one the most. I found it very user friendly. It made it easy to study in short bursts of time throughout the day. Also to focus on the areas I needed to work on most. I passed my exam first try! I think this app was a major part of my success!

Helpful to a point

You should be allowed to do more for free than just three days of questions.

Super fun and functional

Passed the NCE on the first try using a combination of Rosenthal’s Purple book on Audible and EZ Prep’s NCE Exam Prep app.
The app was crucial, it put the information from the book to work. Fun, quick, thorough, with great explanations.
Fully recommend!

Great app to help you pass the NCE

I downloaded this app about 6 months before I took the test. I listened to the audio purple book and did one quiz a day that whole time. I did notice that the rigor of the questions got harder the closer I got to the test date. Not sure if that was on purpose. Still, I passed the test and am so glad that I had a tool that helped keep the test material fresh in my mind.

Keeps me motivated!

Having completed my coursework almost 20 years ago, I was hesitant to even look into taking the NCE exam. This is not only made me feel like it is possible, but makes me want to keep studying and seeing the progress that’s being made. I have been using this every day and I’m loving it. Planning to take my test within the next six weeks.

Consistent with the Purple Book, Spell Out Acronyms

I am currently listening to Rosenthal’s Encyclopedia of Counseling along with the 6 month, half off, subscription to this app. I’m recognizing some of the questions and answers from the audiobook, which is nice and consistent! One suggestion that I would find super helpful is to also provide the full names to every acronym, please!

Good prep app

Cute aesthetics and good content

Excellent study guide

This was the most helpful study guide I used for my exam.

SCAM

works for 5 days then has a paywall where you can’t answer a single question any time after that. no free version at all

I passed!

I used this app extensively when studying (my main source of taking quizzes) and I passed on my first attempt! The app is super helpful and I was able to write down missed concepts and study from that.

Easy to use

I wish it was cheaper, but makes studying more fun and easy to use on the go!
