MSW Pocket Prep 12+

Definitely worth the $40

I bought the 800 question option, and it was definitely worth getting and I highly recommend. I passed on my first try with close to a 90% and I’ve been out of school for over 5 years, not working in social work, completed my MSW on the macro, not clinical, track, and had about one week to study, so I had the odds stacked against me. I also had one of the more difficult level exams. This app was very helpful, and I found it slightly harder than the questions on the actual exam. I used it with the Mometrix study guide, and paid for the ASWB practice test. I HIGHLY recommend doing the ASWB practice test. Although the information provided on this app and in the study guide were very useful, the ASWB practice test provided the most accurate representation of the actual exam.

My criticisms of the app are the amount of times it freezes up, touch controls not working, shuts down in the middle of tests, etc. The developers really need to fix those issues.

Good luck to all future test takers!

I passed!

I took my exam today and passed!! And this was the only study tool I used, because I liked the easily accessible digital platform, and that I could do it on the go while commuting to and from work. I actually found that the questions on my official test were easier than the questions in the app, so I guess that’s a good sign that I was well prepared. However, there were a lot more questions about assessment and intervention planning (like crisis planning in rural hospital settings) than I expected. There was a lot more focus on psychoanalysis and other clinical theory questions on the Pocket Prep app that didn’t show up on my exam much at all. However, overall I felt really prepared just from using this app every day. I would totally recommend.

Great Supplemental Prep!

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.
