Nursing School Pocket Prep Reviews

Update: After a week I was able to get access to the content. Rob was cordial and followed up to see if everything was working after they fixed the issue. My recommendation is expedience for customer service requests since people need things to work when stressed out from studying and not worry about spending more money. Changed star rating to reflect overall value and experience with app and company.

Customer service is lacking. I have to test in a couple weeks for ATI TEAS and the old Pocket Prep TEAS app keeps hounding me to use the new Nursing School one. Not only does the new app not give me access to the questions I need and paid for, the old app erased my progress and also does not give me access to my questions regardless of the money I paid for premium, it has been almost half a week and customer service has replied to me once and not fixed anything. I’m trying to be patient but I have to take my test and this defeats the purpose of me paying for NursingSchoolPocketPrep.......

I’m a full time student, so I had about 4 months to slowly prepare for the TEAS. I answered just under 1,700 of the 2,000 available questions. My average study score was 86% and my TEAS score was 84%. Overall, NursingSchoolPocketPrep was my main study tool to learn/reinforce the content. The question rationales are invaluable. The questions are also formatted differently than what you’ll see on the actual exam, so I do recommend purchasing the ATI TEAS practice tests to get a true feel for what the exam will be like. I used the Mometrix study guide as well. Overall, I’m happy with Pocket Prep and will be using it for the NCLEX when it’s time to cross that bridge.

The free version is ok. It does have me leaning toward not paying for the upgrade. There is one recurring problem that simply will drive me nuts. When scrolling down to read the selection of answers, touching the screen often registers as a selection, highlighting the answers in green or red, indicating the correct answers before having a chance to read through the answers. Not only does this affect your stats, but it also doesn’t accurately track areas of concern. Perhaps the settings on my phone cause the display to make this a bigger issue for me, but perhaps there could be an option to submit an answer- after selection- to negate accidental selections.

NursingSchoolPocketPrep was the primary study method for TEAS preparation. I made it through 600+ of the 2,000 questions in the paid version of NursingSchoolPocketPrep over the course of 3 weeks prior to the TEAS. I was averaging 76% in NursingSchoolPocketPrep and ended up scoring in the 98th percentile on the TEAS itself.
I read through (some of) the Mometrix TEAS manual and the ATI manual, but not much. I mostly used those two sources to review the A&P sections of the exam since it’s such a high yield topic.
Ultimately I’m confident I would’ve done almost as well without those other two resources. If you’re looking to spend your money in one place, do it here.

NursingSchoolPocketPrep was my main form of study for my HESI A2. And let me tell you it was a life saver! I swear NursingSchoolPocketPrep is the biggest reason I passed my HESI!! And with high scores!! I felt confident going into my test because I studied with NursingSchoolPocketPrep.
It is 100% worth paying the money for the full access. You get of questions to study with and it gives you an explanation of the answer. The explanations helped me learn even more material before my exam. I plan on using NursingSchoolPocketPrep to help me study for the NCLEX.
I would highly recommend NursingSchoolPocketPrep!!

I love NursingSchoolPocketPrep because it’s so easy to just pull up a 10 question quiz or the question of the day from anywhere. The rationales pop up immediately and are super helpful for getting better at answering NCLEX-style questions. Also way cheaper than most other NCLEX apps and it doesn’t expire after a set amount of time. I bought this at the beginning of my accelerated program and have been doing a few practice questions a day since I started. I already feel super prepared and I have a month left of classes!

NursingSchoolPocketPrep was a huge help for studying for the TEAS. I did about 1200 questions, including all of the science and anatomy ones. I also used the Mometrix book which I liked and a couple of library books with more practice tests. I liked that NursingSchoolPocketPrep let you choose which subjects you wanted to practice, and the answer explanations were super helpful. I scored high enough to get guaranteed admission to my nursing program, and I couldn’t have done it without NursingSchoolPocketPrep!

My school gave me three days to study for HESI which was stressful... I didn’t want to overwhelm myself by studying my own notes from previous classes due to time constraints and was desperate for a quick review since it had been a while. I found NursingSchoolPocketPrep and studied it and passed with an 87! So relieved and thankful for the straightforward questions and especially the explanations! I will definitely use NursingSchoolPocketPrep again for NCLEX test! Thank you soooo much 👍🏾💕🥳

This would be my favorite NCLEX RN test prep app (and I’ve downloaded many from NursingSchoolPocketPrep Store) except for the fact it’s subscription based. I can’t justify to myself paying monthly for a set number of questions! Now if NursingSchoolPocketPrep changed the question bank every month, that’d make more sense to me but staying at 900 questions and then having to pay every month is a weird model for me. That’s my only complaint. I’d rather pay once at a reasonable price for the question bank and if they added like 900 new questions, I’d be willing to pay for new questions again if I needed them.

I really like NursingSchoolPocketPrep so far since I like making my own quizzes. I think the critical thinking questions could improve a tad, or maybe just some more. Also am hoping to get more questions for varied age groups, paperwork questions, math Questions, Emergency questions. Basically just more questions in general would make me like NursingSchoolPocketPrep more & be more helpful in my nursing career

NursingSchoolPocketPrep is all I used to refresh my memory. NursingSchoolPocketPrep questions are actually way more harder than the actual exam so this is a great tool for studying. I just took my TEAS test and got over 90%. I didn’t use anything else but NursingSchoolPocketPrep to refresh my memory and I did it for a 9 day. I didn't even get to finish all 2000 questions.

I’m not saying it’s BAD for these two subjects.. it can get you to pass. However, the actual test wasn’t as similar to the stuff ok pocket prep as it was for anatomy. I had to guess on a lot of stuff, and I felt horrible when taking the test. I ended up getting an 84 on each which were my lowest scores. So definitely use like four other sources in addition to the elsiever book and NursingSchoolPocketPrep.

NursingSchoolPocketPrep definitely helped me pass my teas! It is worth it 100% I used it every night when I can. NursingSchoolPocketPrep goes beyond what you need to know for the teas so you will be more than prepared. Before my actual test I had 80 overall from NursingSchoolPocketPrep , but when I actually took the test I made an 82!! I definitely recommend! You will pass!

I purchased the one month subscription to get more practice questions and quizzes…. let me tell you it was the best money I’ve ever spent! I made it through a majority of the practice questions in each subject and received a 93 overall!! I used NursingSchoolPocketPrep 90% of the time to study and the HESI A2 book for the rest. This is such a great app!

I used this and MOMETRIX. I have three little ones, work and finishing up another degree so my study time was not what I would have liked it to be. This helped me be able to study on the go . . . Kids pickup line, stop lights, kids bathroom breaks. I was able to get over 80 on the TEAS with the help of NursingSchoolPocketPrep.
I studied for 1 month.
Good luck everyone!

NursingSchoolPocketPrep helped me prepare for the HESI A2 exam and I passed all the sections I was required to take with 90’s! It was so convenient to take the “quick 10” quizzes during breaks at work or any time I had some time to kill. It was also very helpful to see my stats and what areas I needed to study more. I’m so thankful for pocket prep :)

I’ve used Pocket Prep before and have always been a fan! This one, however, takes at least 30 seconds to load initially, and it freezes frequently. I don’t have this trouble with any other app on my iPhone (6s). But, hey, when it’s working as it should be, it’s a nice app to crawl in bed with, especially for the quick quizzes.

I do wish users could zoom in on the illustrations within the quiz answer explanations.

Hopefully an update will fix the constant and frustrating freezing!!!

I got NursingSchoolPocketPrep 30 days before taking the HESI-A2 nursing entrance exam. I was very worried about the math, chemistry, and biology sections since I haven’t taken these classes since high school 7 years ago. With the help of NursingSchoolPocketPrep and another test prep book I scored 97% cumulative (100% on chemistry and grammar, 96% on biology, math, and vocab, and 94% on reading). I highly recommend NursingSchoolPocketPrep! Great questions and corresponding explanations.

I paid for a months access and it was perfect for on the go studying. It really does give you an idea about what you need to know for the test. It also provides detailed explanations if you get the wrong answer. Definitely recommend for anyone taking the TEAS.

This is definitely worth the money. I definitely feel it helped me more than the hesi books since it had so much more to study and a lot of what was on it was actually in the hesi. It’s worth it!

I just took the test and the English-reading and math was spot on to NursingSchoolPocketPrep and NursingSchoolPocketPrep prepared me well. The Chemistry / Anatomy was NOT spot on. NursingSchoolPocketPrep offers wonderful information on the subjects, but gave very little help to the actual questions given. I think you the developers need to cough up $120 to take the test themselves and update NursingSchoolPocketPrep to better address the current questions on the exam. I paid for the subscription and hope the other exams practices provide more up to date material.

I passed NCLEX & got the highest TEAS score in my class (before nursing school).

It was a nice change from dealing with the textbooks and ATI, because you got lots of critical thinking questions with solid rationals.

I honestly feel like the SATA questions from NursingSchoolPocketPrep were more like NCLEX than ATI. ATI is solid prepping you, this was just an excellent, low stress, customizable app that I highly recommend.

I liked NursingSchoolPocketPrep a lot while studying for the HESI A2. When it comes to the NCLEX, it’s worthless. The questions are basic and the explanations are not great compared to other apps. They also only have traditional questions and don’t have any next gen questions, or if they do, I haven’t ever hit any of them. Pretty much any other NCLEX app will be a better choice than this one. The one thing they have going for them is a nice UX but their UI is not good. They have hardly any filtering functionality (only 8 subjects and no sub filtering) and I haven’t found a way to create quizzes based on starred questions. That’s the bare minimum and they don’t even have that. So no, I wouldn’t recommend it for nursing students.
