I like it but

I wish you could go back and revisit the test questions and answers at anytime you want to review them and study them.

Very limited for DSST

I subscribed for one month with the impression that this would help me study for a Principles of Finance DSST exam, since it has good reviews and advertisers that option. NOPE! It doesn’t teach you anything on this topic and simply has a bunch of practice exams. I feel like they stole $48 from me and now I have to find some other means to study.

Way Outdated, Not Representative

I’ve used this test prep to study for two separate DSST tests. In both cases, the material presented for study has been miserably outdated and not in any way an accurate representation of the material I was actually tested over. The practice exams within the Peterson’s study course had many, many questions that were never touched on in the instructional videos.

Perhaps it was just the courses I chose to study on (Human Resources Management and Principles of Supervision) but I can’t recommend this at all.

After taking my second DSST, the testing manager at the school asked what method I used to study. I told her Peterson’s and she immediately said not to use them as she has consistently received similar feedback like this. Wish I would have known that before paying for a month subscription.

Hope this helps some folks make an educated decision on their method of study.

Price

I was looking forward to using this app to help me out. But, the prices are way too expensive.

Good material but it’s unusable in the app

The material is great but I cannot use it on the phone app. For items that I have to select and drag to the correct sentence I am unable to and it doesn’t allow me to go further up towards the sentence. Even though I didn’t complete the study material it still marked it complete and “awarded” me. Can’t learn this way at all. I will continue using it on my computer instead. Wanted to use on my phone for convenience unfortunately it doesn’t work for me.

Worst System, Worst Customer Service

My credit card was charged $343.43 (for 6 month subscription). After slow and terrible customer service, I received a $160 refund, however they got the subscription expiration date wrong. I had to go through yet another horrible slow customer service. Today, I was almost charged the wrong amount again! Just disgusting!!

Just absolute garbage

For near $50 a month the app should be more efficient than this. It take forever to load and all of the flashcards and study material is completely blank. Don’t waste money of this app

1 month subscription

I signed up for a 1 month subscription not realizing that entailed me to a recurring subscription. They’re refusing to refund me for services I didn’t use. It’s unfortunate that the business practice is a scam because the test prep was actually very helpful.

ADC/LCDC Content Insufficient

I purchased a subscription to help me prepare for the ADC/LCDC state test. While the app is user friendly and I learned a lot from the feedback given on the practice exams, it did not adequately help me prepare for the state test. The practice tests put A LOT of emphasis on ethics and case management, but that was barely touched on, on the actual exam. $48 is also pretty high for just 3 exams.
