## What is OTA Pocket Prep?

* 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® COTA studies with you, no matter where life takes you.

### 2/5 — Questions are repeated - Do NOT purchase!

*2020-02-15, version 6.7.6*

I purchased the 500 question prep for $35 and the questions are repeated several times. I thought I was getting 500 different questions. I’m very disappointed.

### 3/5 — NEEDS WORK

*2019-11-01, version 6.7.6*

There aren’t plenty of NBCOT OTA practice exam apps so this is a decent one. The questions can be repetitive and the app crashes at times, but for a on-the-go app. It serves its purpose but charging $19.99 for only a 2 month access and/or $34.99 for unlimited access is just mind boggling. You could have made better purchasing options for students who are willing to spend money on an app. For example, bringing down the price with an unlimited access. Also, please fix your app because it keeps crashing. Note to future purchaser: I bought the $19.99 to try it out, but you would rather spend your money on purchasing the NBCOT exam packet ($75.00) or NBCOT practice exam ($30.00).

### 5/5 — COTA exam

*2019-08-29, version 6.7.3*

Great to study for the NBCOT COTA exam.

### 2/5 — Ota exam

*2019-05-14, version 6.7.3*

Would be better if it had more questions for free! And give a wider variety on questions to study! Some people could use a full free version of this app because they can’t afford the full version

### 1/5 — Technical issues

*2019-04-24, version 6.7*

This app keeps crashing and freezing while using it. It also goes off in the middle of studying. Very annoying I would not recommend it

### 2/5 — Repeated Questions

*2019-04-11, version 6.7*

Purchased the $19.99 version. Convenient to use while on-the-go, but repeats questions.

### 2/5 — Great exam prep if it worked

*2019-02-28, version 6.7*

Great way to prep for an exam. The questions are fair. I’m giving it a 2-star rating because half the questions repeat themselves, and the app runs super slow since it is never updated. So is it worth the money? Probably not. You would be better off getting their book.

### 5/5 — Need more free questions

*2019-01-29, version 6.7*

Need more ways to unlock questions..such as watching video or something of that nature

### 5/5 — Great study tool

*2018-12-27, version 6.7*

I used this to study while out on fieldwork.  It provides easy ways to study while being busy with work and fieldwork.  I really like that I can answer a few questions or many depending on how much time I had.  I never experienced any technical problems reported previously.

### 3/5 — Lingering Technical Issues

*2018-09-21, version 6.5.6*

An update was posted. I updated the app & it erased all of my previous data & questions answered. This morning...another update! When I logged in, it once again not only erased my recent quiz & QOTD history, but we time travelled to my previous history. Get it together.
