## What is NSCA CPT Pocket Prep?

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 personal training studies with you, no matter where life takes you.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2020-02-06, version 6.7.6*

This was a great app for studying. I averaged about 75% in the app and I got a 79% on my exam. The one thing I wish would have been different in the app was the ability to choose questions that I hadn’t seen before. Sometimes in a 10-question practice exam only 1 or 2 questions would be different than ones I had seen previously, so that sometimes made studying monotonous and feel like a waste of time. On the other hand, driving those answers home through repetition can also be a good study habit, so some people may like that. I think it would be good to give users the option of whether they want new questions every time or not (or at least, there should be more than 1 or 2 new questions per exam until you get through them all). Overall I took 131 exams (some exams were 5 questions and some were 10 questions) and by the time my exam day came I still hadn’t gotten through about 140 questions. I still would recommend the app though, I found it a really useful study aid in addition to reading and taking notes on the textbook. This app and the textbook were the only study materials I used.

### 5/5 — Good.

*2019-12-01, version 6.7.6*

Good app.

### 3/5 — Don't rely on this app too heavily

*2019-06-03, version 6.7.3*

If you're expecting this app to get you through your exam, it won't. Studying the book and doing their practice tests are a lot better. This app has some useful knowledge but don't think that it will get you through the CPT exam.

### 4/5 — App

*2018-10-03, version 6.5.6*

It’s great

### 5/5 — Must have app for studying

*2018-04-22, version 6.5.2*

Amazing app, I only used the NSCA textbook and this app to study and passed first time with 80%. The questions are written similarly to the ones on the exam. This app has questions about exercises that were not in the book like T-tests and other polymeric training, which help with rounding out your exercise library. I can confidently say that this app played a major role in preparing me for the exam.

### 5/5 — CPT Training

*2018-02-08, version 6.4*

So far all of the questions in this app are covered in the study materials I recently purchased on the NSCA’s website. This app is a free study guide!! If you are pursuing your certification, you need to get this app. It tracks your areas of strengths and weaknesses in the exam areas we will be tested on. I’m glad that I found this app and am excited to be using it!

### 4/5 — Big help.

*2017-10-26, version 6.3.2*

starting a new career at 42, getting in the best shape of my life. This app is already helping me progress toward my C-P-T test.

### 5/5 — 👍🏽

*2017-08-10, version 6.3.2*

Format was similar to the test with comparable level of difficulty to the exam for the most part.

### 1/5 — Future CPT

*2016-09-26, version 6.0.9*

This latest version of the app is garbage.  You need to fix this.

### 5/5 — Perfect study app

*2016-07-01, version 5.3*

This app is so well designed, has proper references, excellent ways to teach you what you did wrong when you miss something...I've learned more from this app in 3 weeks than I have reading my book so far. It's THAT good. Same information as your study book, just laid out very professionally and easy to understand. Best $13 I've spent on an app.
