## What is NPTE?

Pocket Prep is your 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 National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE).

* 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 NPTE studies with you, no matter where life takes you.

### 4/5 — great app

*2020-05-22, version 6.7.6*

All the features on this app are fantastic, and I completely agree that it is fair to charge users if they want to utilize all the features. With that being said, I downloaded this app with the intent of using only the QOTD feature - without knowing it could only be used for 14 days in the free version. I wish there was a cheaper option to buy solely unlimited QOTD access, because I don’t want to spend $35 on a package when I will only utilize 1 of the features included.

### 2/5 — Useful but flawed

*2019-12-16, version 6.7.6*

This app is useful but has too many issues. The app tracks your progress and says it gives you your weak areas but gives you percentages that are incorrect. I know personally what areas I struggle in but the app is telling me I have been doing well in these spots. The “question of the day” is not a unique question either, it’s just one of the 600 questions that is already on the app. I have already run across most of the questions of the day in my exam prep. It’s nice to have the app and the questions but for 35 bucks but it could be better

**Developer response:** Hi Daniel! The app tells you that you are doing well in a certain area if you answer questions correctly in that area. If you actually give wrong responses but the app still tells you those are your good subjects, please contact us through our Message Center.

### 3/5 — Issues

*2019-12-13*

After 4 times of use, nothing loads when I open the app. I hope these glitches can be figured out. The questions are helpful to studying, but If I can’t access anything this app is worthless.

**Developer response:** Hi there! What you're describing is not typical. Please delete the app and reinstall a fresh copy. If that doesn't help, please contact us through our website's Contact page. Thanks!

### 5/5 — I Passed!

*2019-10-10, version 6.7.3*

This app is awesome if you buy the full version. It coordinates with the O’Sullivans book aka “big Red”. Each rationale has the exact page number to find the information. When it says guaranteed pass, it’s telling the truth. Study your weaknesses and strengths and go to work!

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to leave us a kind review! We are so glad to hear you passed your NPTE, 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

### 4/5 — Good app

*2019-03-19, version 6.7.1*

Overall, I think that this is a good app. I haven’t taken my boards yet but I like how I can review/retake the questions when I’m on the go. My only issue is that I wish there more pictures associated with the explanations because I am more of a visual learner.

### 2/5 — Better options out there

*2019-02-13*

Definitely very glitchy and has times when it won’t work. The questions are okay. They repeat questions if you get them wrong which I don’t really like. If you’re looking at another app option try that- I kind of wish I had my money back on this one.

### 4/5 — Glitches!!!!

*2019-01-14, version 6.7.1*

I am using this app to prepare. I like that you are able to separate by systems and control how many questions you want to answer. HOWEVER, this is where the biggest problem is. So many times I am given different numbers on how many questions are available max for a section. I close the app then all of a sudden I get 20 more or so. I keep my app updated and once I sent a msg to the company in charge of the app and was told to uninstall and re-install the app... didn’t fix my issue! It makes it hard for me to see how much I really know when I can’t get all the questions the first time, since once you’ve seen the answer once that will change the results. I love this app, but for the glitches to exist for this long after paying so much for it makes me question how worth it the purchase was. Please fix it!

Update for 2019:
Now I am close to my NPTE test date and it’s stressful that this app continues to have glitches. I am so glad that the repeats for questions have been lessened though. +1 more star for that

### 3/5 — QOTD doesn’t work

*2018-12-16*

the question of the day feature has stopped working. It shows that it is loading but it never does.

### 3/5 — Hasn’t worked since update

*2018-12-01*

Loved the question of the day feature and it hasn’t worked since the last update.

### 1/5 — Don’t purchase this app!

*2018-10-20*

BEWARE! This app is false advertising! It advertises “unlimited questions of the day” however this question is simply subtracted from the “600” questions you pay 40$ for. Which leads to my next point, the fact that the “600” questions is not actually 600 questions. I constantly see the same repetitive questions on every custom exam I take. This is unacceptable!
