Great app, can do everywhere and anywhere! ### 5/5 — PMHNP student *2018-12-26, version 6.7* Great questions & easy learning ### 5/5 — Pocket Prep PMHNP review *2018-08-20, version 6.5.4* Excellent source for studying especially for those on the go. I highly recommend this review course. ### 5/5 — Great *2018-08-07, version 6.5.4* Love the challenge.... it’s awesome ### 5/5 — Helpful *2018-05-05, version 6.5.2* Finding this app very helpful for preparing for the boards! ### 5/5 — Excellent study guide *2018-01-20, version 6.4* This was an essential tool to preparing for my boards. I received daily reminders to study a robust test question bank. Rationales were provided for all questions along with references to expand valid resources to explore. This guide provided more education on policy and law than I received in school or found on other practice tests. Previous test results and missed questions are maintained in a history to allow you to go back and define areas of focus. Use of the application is very intuitive and the customer service is top notch. I confidently give this app 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Kate RN MSN ANCC aboard eligible for PMHNP *2017-10-04, version 6.3.2* Absolutely love this app for board prep.can answer one question at a time...the elevator, lunch line ... it all adds up and I would definitely start your first year in terms of prepping! ### 5/5 — Loved this app *2017-06-08, version 6.3* I used this app to practice test questions and master the material presented. I went through all of the questions with rationales at least once and reviewed the Ana prep book. I passed on my first try today. Definitely recommend! ### 5/5 — Worth it! *2017-06-02, version 6.3* Perfect for practicing questions when you're out and have a few minutes here and there. Good questions with full rationales (when you want to see them) and references listed. Reasonable cost for 500 questions compared to other prep courses. Create your own tests with as many questions as you want each time. The app also tracks your progress and highlights weak areas. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2017-05-17, version 6.3* Helpful app with great rationale for questions. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2017-04-29, version 6.3* Excellent tool to practice ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App crashed randomly with ALL of my weeks of work GONE *2019-08-28, version 6.7.3* You CANNOT rely on this app. Customer service is basically non existent. You can text a bot and someone will reply within two days. Give me a break. Dont trust this app. ### 2/5 — Questions recycled over and over again *2019-02-07, version 6.7* Even the questions I get first on the right try appear later, usually within the next 15-20 questions. I feel like I’ve been ripped off. ### 3/5 — Too many repeat questions *2019-01-05, version 6.7* I would give 5 stars but I paid ( I think ) for 600 questions and I have noticed a lot of repeat questions. Why is this? ### 3/5 — Get the app *2018-02-17, version 6.4* I still recommend to get this app as it does help. But the questions are not ancc format and at times questions that ancc would not ask. Sometimes I wonder if they just dig up any question they can from a few books they use as sources. Either way still worth it to have and use as a source studying ### 3/5 — Silly exam won’t allow you to save *2018-01-28, version 6.4* Why not allow users to save an exam? **Developer response:** Hi there, the app will automatically save and retrieve exams in progress. You'll be prompted to resume an exam the next time you tap the Practice tab. If you run into any trouble or would like further clarification, reach out to us directly through the Settings tab. Thanks! ### 3/5 — Don’t find this app that helpful for the exam *2018-01-28, version 6.4* Some of the materials are outdated. The ethnical and research questions are not similar to the level of questions that was being tested on the exam. The clinical stuffs are relevant but more like memorizing the materials rather than applying the knowledge. Most board exams questions are geared toward applying our knowledge in the question and choose the best answer. There weren’t a lot of memorization questions. Good luck everyone who is going to take the exam too! ### 4/5 — reviews *2019-08-21, version 6.7.3* pocket prep is accurate and it will direct to the text book and page where the question / was or Questions / were derived from i will recommend pocket prep for any one preparing for the PMHNP licensure as it was referred to me by school mates ### 4/5 — Good app *2018-10-19, version 6.5.6* I like this app as I’m studying for PMHNP board. I have noticed that questions are repeated, so I don’t think it’s accurate that they advertise having 400 some questions. ### 4/5 — Most questions irrelevant for September 2017 ANCC exam *2017-09-25, version 6.3.2* All the questions on my exam were case vignettes, whereas this really user friendly and fun app had a much wider array of material. A great app - if I were to do it again, I would only study the clinical questions. I encountered a lot of questions about who can order restraints and what psychological defenses are at play in a given scenario. ### 4/5 — Good Review *2017-01-06, version 6.0.11* I like that it is backed by the people who make the PMHNP exam. The questions are written in a similar style. It allows for quick 10 minute reviews daily which is very convenient. I can review longer if I have the time but I don't have to. So all in all I like it a lot. I deducted one star just because the interphase is a little clunky when I am trying for longer reviews I have to go back to the dashboard and start another test. I wish instead where they have the retake button at the end of the test they would add one to take another test. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It works *2020-09-25, version 6.7.9* I passed ### 5/5 — Passed the first time *2020-06-04, version 6.7.6* Excellent study source for the pmhnp ancc exam. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2020-04-25, version 6.7.6* I was wondering about the question though and if they actually correlate to the ANCC PMHNP exam.

I downloaded it and started using during the final year of my program and was it a good decision, YES, absolutely!
