Behavioral Health Pocket Prep Reviews

LMSW prepping for the LCSW exam. Love the ease of using BehavioralHealthPocketPrep! Clearly a lot of work has gone into writing the questions for BehavioralHealthPocketPrep. Love that content is up to date and uses Dawn Apgar’s prep text (which I am also studying). The new price structure is unfortunate (get the old app and sign up for the lifetime premium if you still can!), but understandable and hopefully most of us won’t need it for more than 3 months. One major critique: the writing of the questions frequently needs editing for clarity. Sometimes a word is left out or the sentence structure is convoluted, not following norms of the English language. This adds unnecessary difficulty to practice questions and I can’t imagine what that is like for a non-native English speaker. Please add additional editing review stages for grammar and clarity.

Back for a follow-up: some questions are not accurate. I had a question yesterday referencing pages is Apgar’s book which it turned out, had none of the content referred to in the question! I also just had a question that is factually wrong (about face validity)!

Back for the third time—looks like the copy editors updated the question above! Yay! Do I get paid for that? Adding another review because I found ANOTHER error and emailed the Help about it. Requesting a refund this time. Studying is hard enough without studying inaccurate answers!

BehavioralHealthPocketPrep is awesome. You can do quizzes based on time (ex., as many questions as you can do in 10 minutes) or based on questions (up to 100 questions at a time - can be only questions you’ve missed, only questions you haven’t seen before, or a mix of everything). The questions were very similar to the questions on the real exam. For cost reference, a subscription to BehavioralHealthPocketPrep with almost one thousand questions is $20/month; the ASWB charges you $85 for ONE practice test. I only used BehavioralHealthPocketPrep to study and passed on the first try with an 86% score (passing is 60-70%).

Edit: I saw in other reviews that grammar or spelling errors make the questions confusing. I only noticed this one or two times and I got through almost of the questions; in my opinion, reviews saying it happens “frequently” are misleading.

This was the ONLY post-graduate study tool I used to pass the clinical exam. I bought the 1000 question version of BehavioralHealthPocketPrep outright for $40 back when that was an option. The current purchase options are steep 😬 but I would recommend paying for the quarterly option ($50), and just register yourself for a test date 3 months out to avoid procrastinating like I did. TAKE THE OFFICIAL ASWB PRACTICE EXAM so you know what to expect on the 170 question clinical exam (Colorado). I didn’t take the practice test and was blindsided a bit as a result.

I initially wanted to give BehavioralHealthPocketPrep 4 stars because 1 OUT OF 25 QUESTIONS IS POORLY WRITTEN OR CONTAINS TYPOS, but the DEVELOPERS HAVE WORKED TO FIX THESE ERRORS A LOT OVER THE LAST 3 MONTHS. The interface is great, BehavioralHealthPocketPrep will highlight your weakest study areas and it allows you to customize mini-quizzes that target these tough subjects

Used BehavioralHealthPocketPrep to study for the NCE and took the test today! Passed! BehavioralHealthPocketPrep helps with learning concepts and identifying areas of difficulty that may need additional study focus. I liked how I could read additional information for each response and I could use it to help make note cards too. I worked my way through all 500 questions and kept going through them until I could pass quick 10 question quizzes with 80+% accuracy, doing missed question quizzes to make sure I was focusing studying on those areas. I’d definitely recommend this for studying. It doesn’t have exact questions to the exam (obviously) but does really help with concepts. For reference, I’ve been out of school for 16 years, so even that far out from class work, BehavioralHealthPocketPrep helped me pass.

I LOVE BehavioralHealthPocketPrep!! I answered 10-20 questions daily for two months leading up to my exam along with a couple of other study methods. I passed on the first try! My two favorite parts of BehavioralHealthPocketPrep were 1) being able to analyze why I got a question right or wrong and 2) being able to pull out my phone and answer a few questions wherever I was at the moment - in line at the store, waiting for my daughter, anywhere! No time was wasted.

I have come across multiple questions that provide you with incorrect answers. For example, taking the dawn apgar study test an example indicating a diagnosis of schizophrenia asked what medication would be used for treatment. This indicates lithium, however I thought to myself that’s not right despite it being correct answer on BehavioralHealthPocketPrep . Just came across similar question on dawn apgar test, I selected lithium due to the response I put on this test and got it wrong. This has been the case for many questions. I would not use BehavioralHealthPocketPrep again as it has me second guessing what I already knew, then getting them wrong. Set up is convenient to take practice tests however I don’t believe these questions are similar to the ones on the actual test and dawn Apgars practice tests. I wouldn’t recommend.

I’ve done more than 300 of the 500 questions provided in BehavioralHealthPocketPrep and there are at least 5 so far where they indicate a wrong choice or incorrectly written answer as correct. There may be more that I didn’t catch. Buyer beware with BehavioralHealthPocketPrep, the exam is hard enough without studying incorrect practice questions! Update: In response to my review I was then contacted by a developer who said they were glad to have met my expectations for 98% of test questions!! I’m sorry but this is unacceptable. If I study wrong answers which then make me fail the exam and I cannot work, it isn’t a joke to try to reframe it as them giving 98% correct material. Exam prep materials which are sold so expensively should be completely correct! Would give zero stars if I could.

Every time I try to take any test it says “wrong questions number”

I have attempted to solve this problem in various ways over several months. I have deleted BehavioralHealthPocketPrep , turned off my phone, turned it back on and reinstalled BehavioralHealthPocketPrep many times and it never works. I even purchased a new phone and reinstalled BehavioralHealthPocketPrep and still the same error. I’ve reached out to technical support so many times I’ve lost count and I get the same response to try the uninstall reinstall technique, or just use the web browser to access the questions. At this point technical support have stopped replying and now I’m left with an app that never works (it used to work just fine before the new version of BehavioralHealthPocketPrep took).

I just took the psychology licensure exam and would say that BehavioralHealthPocketPrep covered less than 30% of what was on the exam. It gives you a good idea of general areas to study, but the exam was very different from what was presented in these practice questions. Not harder or easier, just not the right content. I absolutely would not recommend using BehavioralHealthPocketPrep as your primary means of studying, but it’s okay to assess general areas where you might be weaker or stronger. Maybe focus on the ASPPB-provided practice questions instead of this. I really enjoyed using BehavioralHealthPocketPrep though, it’s fun and has good metrics for studying. I just wish it was actually representative of what the exam is like.

Thank you so much for creating BehavioralHealthPocketPrep!! This was critical in helping me prepare for the test. Yes the questions were hard but they definitely prepared me for the actual test. Having the vast amount of questions available helped me solidify what I needed to know. It feels discouraging when I would get low scores but it was helpful to continue to push me to do better!! Thank you tons!

There’s a good number of questions here that are similar to the exam questions, which was very helpful. However there were a lot of questions on the exam that really did not show up on BehavioralHealthPocketPrep. I suggest anyone preparing for the clinical exam do the practice exam in the actual ASWB booklet to see what they’re in for. Also try the book 100 DSM questions every social worker should know. I saw a ton of questions on sexual dysfunction and marital issues on the exam that I haven’t seen on any practice/study tool so read up on that.

I failed the exam by 2 points previously. Then covid-19 hit and pregnancy. So currently, I am a mother with a newborn and BehavioralHealthPocketPrep allows me to take daily questions through the night. I also take weekly quizzes when baby is napping. It’s quick, at the tip of my fingers and also allows me to see my week areas. I am looking forward to premium once my score gets better. I am definitely motivated to take my LBSW and be licensed in a few months.

Am getting a better feel for test questions and how they are written with this prep. I have been back in field for 13 months now and site offers an opportunity to study with references provided minimizing my anxiety of taking exam. Plan on getting upgrade to expand study. Great feedback with stats of how I progress… my confidence has definitely improved.

This was by far the most helpful thing I did to prepare for the NCE. To be fair I read, watched videos, and used flash cards. However BehavioralHealthPocketPrep was the most help. I am in the parking lot after just taking my exam and I scored a 124 out of 160, which from what I gathered online is pretty good. Get BehavioralHealthPocketPrep and pay the $20 at least for the last month before your test!

I’ve done TONS of practice questions from several different publishers and these by far are the best. I couldn’t believe how close these questions matched the questions on the actual exam, especially the LCSW. I wouldn’t take the test without BehavioralHealthPocketPrep for sure. I used this and the Apgar Social Work Licensing Clinical Exam study guide as a cross reference and passed on the first try.

I passed the NCE on my first try. This was my only real study material. Do yourself a favor and subscribe to the full app a few months before the test. I cannot recommend BehavioralHealthPocketPrep enough. Studying was so convenient on my phone. I was even able to study while getting ready for my sisters wedding the weekend before my test.

BehavioralHealthPocketPrep help me so much preparing for AWSB clinical exam. It breaks down the four areas for the exam in BehavioralHealthPocketPrep. BehavioralHealthPocketPrep really prepares you how to study and training your brain to take the exam . It’s is the best app out there to help you prep for the exam . Trust me, BehavioralHealthPocketPrep is worth purchasing it. I finally passed this time around . Hello LCSW 🙏🏻 plus it provides you over 1000 practices questions .

BehavioralHealthPocketPrep has reset my progress twice without asking or prompting. Two weeks ago I was using it with spotty internet and thought maybe that’s why it reset, but today mid-quiz BehavioralHealthPocketPrep reset and I lost all of my progress. I will no longer be using BehavioralHealthPocketPrep, it is counter-productive to have to repeat questions over and over again. Too bad because the questions are helpful, I appreciate that I can select one topic to quiz myself on, and BehavioralHealthPocketPrep helped me a lot while studying for my first licensing exam.

Mid studying for the CSW BehavioralHealthPocketPrep switched to this new version. Ok, fine. I migrate over, but find that it looks like absolute garbage! What? Who designed this? What happened to the old, cleaner design? It doesn’t fit on my iPad screen, it is constantly reloading/refreshing questions, and just looks unappealing. It is a major downgrade. Sure the content is the same, but the quality of BehavioralHealthPocketPrep seems much much lower. The idea of a subscription service for a time limited need is stupid as hell, and it looks like it was created 15 years ago. What the hell, guys.

I am able to log into my previous account for pocket prep, and my previous purchase is there, but this is only when I click on the terms or privacy policy portal. When I exit and go back to the main app, it has the incorrect email that I entered to first log in because I got mixed up. However, it does not have any log out options, unless taken to another portal where the terms and privacy policy are. That is where my previous account is saved but after closing that portal, I am back to the wrong email with the free version.

I’m using BehavioralHealthPocketPrep like crazy and have almost mastered the 1000 questions. Gonna buy TDC and I’ll update after I take the test, wish me luck!
