## What is OT Pocket Prep?

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 Occupational Therapist Registered (OTR) 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 NBCOT® OTR studies with you, no matter where life takes you.

### 4/5 — Helpful, but some answers may be incorrect.

*2019-11-11, version 6.7.6*

I like the reminders to take a quick practice exam and that I can get feedback on the spot, however some answers may be incorrect and there is no way of flagging these on the app. For example, there is evidence against using weighted utensils (or relying on weighted utensils) with tremor and it is a false understanding; evidence supports using the utensils that works best for that individual.

### 1/5 — Highly Disappointed!!!!!

*2019-05-26, version 6.7.3*

Just purchased the app. For one the don’t offer you subjects as they advertised such as burns, pediatrics, geriatrics and so forth. Also I’m missing domain 4 as shown in the ads and descriptions. They need to issue a refund, this is false advertising at its best. $35 for this is highway robbery for what they are suppose to give you.

### 5/5 — Very helpful!

*2019-05-14, version 6.7.3*

Very helpful!

### 1/5 — False advertising

*2019-04-24, version 6.7*

Displeased with the description of the app. I was looking for a resource that provided practice questions by topic (rehab, pediatrics, etc) and this app claimed if I paid the fee I would have access to such questions. False. They wouldn’t refund my money either.

**Developer response:** Hi there! So sorry to hear about this issue! Please contact us through the app and we’ll get this problem sorted out asap. We appreciate your understanding and support.

### 3/5 — It’s just OK

*2019-04-11, version 6.7*

I think this could be a great resource, however it falls a little short. The free version is great though, because it’s free! However, I purchased the upgraded version and I keep having repeat questions which is really disappointing. In general, some of the questions are great to jumpstart memory, but some questions are way too easy and very common sense.

**Developer response:** Hi there! So sorry to hear about this issue! Please contact us through the app and we’ll get this problem sorted out asap. We appreciate your understanding and support.

### 2/5 — Pocket Prep- application vs knowledge

*2018-10-30, version 6.5.6*

I love that this app is very convenient to use and the daily reminders! However, I must say that a lot of the questions are knowledge based and it is not framed in the same manner as the actual NBCOT exam. I paid for the upgraded version and I feel that it was not worth it-should’ve sticked with the free version. If you want to get a refresher on certain conditions, development patterns etc. then go for it as the app is helpful in that aspect. I just wish the app had more application questions that are similarly framed as the exam.

### 1/5 — Still too glitchy after update

*2018-07-20, version 6.5.4*

Only loads the question of the day MAYBE once a week, other than that it tells me it’s already been answered. Crashes at least once every time I open it. Slow to start and to change tabs. I really hoped paying for the full version would fix some of these issues but it didn’t. I have barely been able to use it because of all these problems. Would be worth the $$$ if it actually produced questions as advertised. Really disappointed :(

**Developer response:** Hi there! We’re sorry to hear the app is misbehaving! What you’re describing is not typical app behavior. Please contact us so we can provide suggestions on how to improve your study experience. We can be reached through the app’s Settings menu — we’ll keep an eye out for your message! 👀

### 4/5 — Satisfied Studier

*2018-07-18, version 6.5.4*

Good app. Great feedback and loved the free trial. Wish the question of the day would reset at midnight rather than 24 hours since it was last opened and disappointed that now that I’ve been using the app for almost 90 days it now says the question of the day was already answered and will not let me view or attempt it (I figure it was one of the many questions I’ve done in the practice quizzes). 

Overall, I highly recommend this app to anyone studying for their NBCOT licensure exam.

### 5/5 — Great adjunct to other study tools

*2018-07-17, version 6.5.4*

Love this app for on-the-go studying!  Hoping it will help me pass the NBCOT on the first try!

### 1/5 — Very expensive for what it actually is

*2018-04-19, version 6.5.2*

The questions are knowledge based and not in the same format as the NBCOT. Also many questions are repeated so there are not 500 individual questions. Dissatisfied and wish I could get my money back.

**Developer response:** Hi brittad, sorry to hear you feel that way! There truly are 500 unique questions in the test bank, though it is possible to see repeats sooner than later depending on how you're configuring your practice sessions. We're happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have, just contact us through he app's Settings menu. We'll keep an eye out for your message!
