### 5/5 — Worth The Money

*2025-08-25*

This is the sole tool I used to study for my ASWB MSW Licensure Exam along with the ASWB practice test and it prepared me well. The way the questions are worded and the content it covers closely correlate to the actual exam. Only thing that is a bit different is the mock exam isn’t quite like the real thing which is why I also suggest doing the ASWB practice exam as well, but overall this app helped me immensely. I studied for about 2-3 hours starting 10 days before my actual exam and I felt prepared and passed on the first try. Grateful for this app or else I don’t know how else I would’ve prepared myself.

### 5/5 — Passed on First Try!

*2025-06-08*

I used Pocket Prep’s premium version as my only study tool for my ASWB Masters Exam and I passed on my first try. 

I studied every other day for about 40 days and I completed 700 of the 1000 practice questions. I feel that the Pocket Prep content is very similar to the exam content, and in fact, I think many of the Pocket Prep questions are trickier than the actual exam questions. 

A helpful tip when using this program is to always redo the questions you got incorrect. Overall, this is program is a phenomenal study tool. Pocket Prep, thank you!

**Developer response:** Congrats on passing the MSW exam! We're thrilled you had a great experience with Pocket Prep. We’d appreciate you sharing the love with your friends – you can find your own personal referral link in the Settings area of your account!

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2025-04-05, version 13.20.0*

I was able to pass my ASWB exam on the first try

### 5/5 — Passed

*2025-02-23, version 13.19.3*

This app helped me to pass the clinical exam with flying colors. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great app, premium is worth it

*2025-02-17, version 13.19.3*

Passed my LMSW first try with a 92%. The questions on Pocket Prep are marginally more difficult than the ones that I saw on the ASWB exam. I was averaging 70% on Pocket Prep questions when I took my exam. Some of the wording on the actual exam is different/confusing, so I would recommend looking at ASWB practice questions as well. The mock exams and quick 10 quizzes were the most helpful to me.

### 5/5 — Passed Exam

*2025-01-15, version 13.19.1*

Thanks to Pocket Prep I was able to answer about 800 questions and two weeks to pass the License Master social work exam .

### 5/5 — Highly Recommend

*2025-01-03, version 13.19.1*

Pocket Prep was instrumental in my passing. Got 128 correct out of 150 on the exam!

### 5/5 — This app is a study game changer!

*2024-09-23, version 13.16.0*

This app is so thoughtfully designed to show progress and encourage. The rationales are very helpful. The levels study quizzes are complete game changers with each section being exclusively studied in a game format. It was great seeing my stats to help plan my test day because I was able to see a trend of low scores and high scores. Definitely worth the upgrade!

### 5/5 — Very Helpful

*2024-09-21, version 13.16.0*

I graduated with my MSW 5 years ago and studied for about 2 months. Pocket prep was the most useful tool when studying. I passed on my first try!

### 5/5 — Huge Help!

*2024-09-15, version 13.14.3*

I passed my exam! This app definitely helped me prepare!

### 5/5 — I passed 2 exams!!

*2024-09-12, version 13.14.3*

This app was extremely helpful and a great daily reminder of what to study for my LSW and LCSW exams! The questions were helpful and a great way to get into the rhythm of understanding what exactly they are asking in each question on the exam. The explanations for each correct/incorrect answer were very clear and helpful. I have already recommended this app to my friends who are taking the LSW and LCSW exams! I am so grateful!

### 5/5 — Officially an LMSW

*2024-08-29, version 13.14.3*

Used pocket prep for the majority of my studying and passed the exam on my first try! Thanks for the help!!

### 5/5 — God sent, helped me pass my exam

*2024-08-29, version 13.14.2*

This app helped me learn all the information with my unique learning style and overcome my cognitive and learning barriers when it comes to learning. This was of great support!

### 5/5 — Great Supplemental Prep!

*2024-08-02*

I just passed on the first try with the help of Pocket Prep! I used the app to quiz my knowledge of the content I was studying, and used the web browser version for the mock exams. I loved the convenience of a study tool at my finger tips and used it everyday, even when I was not doing extensive studying through other methods. Using the app everyday really kept me on my toes and helped me to retain information, especially when it came it repetition. Make sure you take advantage of the explanations, even when you are getting questions right because the questions may not be exactly like the test and the explanations helped me rationalize while answering questions during the exam.

**Developer response:** Congrats on passing your exam!

### 5/5 — Solid Prep

*2024-07-20, version 13.14.2*

This app was my main prep resource. It helped me pass my exam easily.

### 5/5 — Worth the cost

*2024-06-19, version 13.14.0*

I upgraded from the free questions and it was definitely worth it. I love that they explain the correct answers. I passed on my first try!

### 5/5 — No regrets

*2024-06-04, version 13.13.1*

Great prep for LMSW exam. Would recommend and will use again.

### 5/5 — Gamified study sessions helped me PASS!

*2024-06-04*

Thank you Pocket Prep for being such an amazing app, it truly helped me keep motivated  to study especially with your new Level Up feature! It was really cool to see how excited I got each time I completed a level - it was really helpful to have the sections separated. Seeing the questions I got wrong again really helped make me to remember them. Really appreciated both free and paid features for the Social Work Masters Exam. Definitely could not have done it without you!!

**Developer response:** Congrats on passing your exam!! What an achievement. We are glad that we could be a part of your study journey.

### 5/5 — Passed!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — It keeps kicking me off the app

*2024-10-26, version 13.16.0*

What’s wrong with the app?

### 1/5 — dead app

*2021-08-08, version 6.7.9*

Opened the app and it forces you to download a NEW app called “Behavioral Health Study Prep” instead - a more expensive app with multiple bundles that cost money.

### 1/5 — I preferred the old app

*2020-10-20, version 6.7.9*

I hate that you took away the old app! Not everyone can afford all these special packages and the old one was perfect for basic help and I lost all my progress. I was so excited before and now I don’t even wanna use this thing.

### 1/5 — Not the best!

*2019-12-24, version 6.7.6*

Purchased the 800 quiz questions, I studied for several months passed the test on my first try, however I don’t credit the prep study guide, I credit my knowledge and understanding of the material from the classes I took and experience. Unfortunately I read false reviews that indicated that several questions seen on the exam were exactly and/or very similar to what they saw on the prep study guide; WRONG, I didn’t see one exact or close to similar question on the exam, this made me very anxious. The prep study guide is good if you want to see different scenarios and apply your knowledge but won’t be much help for the LMSW exam.

### 1/5 — 800 Questions???

*2019-12-04, version 6.7.6*

There are many repeat questions.

### 1/5 — DON’T BUY THIS!

*2019-05-22*

Whatever you do, do NOT pay for the full version of the app. I paid for the highest version of the app, which claims you get 800 practice questions. That is not the case! Every day I take practice questions on this app, and I am continually given the same questions I’ve answered before. I have been given many of the same questions three or four times. The app keeps track of how many of the 800 questions you have left, and the number continues to go down. Aka every time they give me a question I’ve answered before, they subtract from that 800. There is no way there are 800 questions in this app. After answering over 150 questions, and getting so many repeats, I would guess there probably aren’t more than 250 questions. Also, the questions do not at all resemble the ones on the ASWB practice exam. Long story short, do not buy this app. It’s a scam, misleading, and a waste of your money. Just buy the practice exam ASWB puts out.

**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.

### 1/5 — Please fix the constant freezing issue!

*2019-01-26, version 6.7*

The ONLY reason I cannot give this app 5 stars is because it freezes CONSTANTLY and it is always logging me out! The app has a lot of bugs that should be fixed especially since users are required to pay to a fee to have access to the premium version; other than that, I believe this app is AMAZING in terms of preparing for the actual exam! The questions on the actual exam aren’t as detailed as the questions on the app, but the app is great for learning the content that may appear on the exam. I would recommend taking the ASWB practice exam to get a genuine feel for how the questions will be worded on the actual exam.

### 1/5 — Password reset/Exam Readiness

*2018-11-07, version 6.5.6*

I have sent several requests for a password reset.  It’s been a day and a half with no response.  I also sent a message through the message center online, also no response.  How can I get help with this matter??

Also when the app is set to reset progress the Exam Readiness stats do not ever reset.  So how can you know whether you are prepared to take the actual exam.  I have corresponded with them about this on more one occasion.  With them saying that it would be dealt with in the next update.  That was mid September when I brought this to there attention.  Still no update since.

### 2/5 — I can’t get it to work

*2020-12-24, version 6.7.9*

I first downloaded this and was using it on a daily basis. Then one day, I clicked to study and it states that it an invalid address. I have not been able to get into the app for days.

### 2/5 — Deceptively hard.

*2020-06-10, version 6.7.6*

This tool can very helpful for studying. However, the questions are often not written like the actual exam and are far harder than they need to be. I feel as if the app is trying to make you feel dumb, no matter how much you study, so that you buy their tutoring services and addons.

*2026-07-18, version 13.24.10*

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2025-12-09, version 13.24.5*

I completed the exam, and when I did I was surprised how well this app helped me. It actually helps practice the testing and not just the content. I think this app is the perfect tool for ASWB

### 5/5 — I passed

*2025-12-06, version 13.24.4*

Pocket prep was a major help for studying it’s official i have my LMSW!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Passed on the first try!

*2025-10-31, version 13.24.1*

This app is so helpful! I took lots of quizzes on here, reviewed my stats and would use Agents of Change to review my weakest subject. The app is easy to use, provides explanations, and convenient! I passed my LMSW exam on the first try!

### 5/5 — 3rd Attempt

*2025-10-22, version 13.24.1*

Pocket prep helped prepare me for my LMSW. On my 3rd attempt, I passed the exam. The different tests options allowed me to focus on specific areas, ie weakest subject and level up. The mock exams replicated the ASWB exam questions, decrease anxiety and identify areas needing improvement. Highly recommend.
