Loved pocket prep. The questions from the ANCC boards are very similar and the format is similar as well. Loved being able to take mock exams and learn why certain things were wrong. I passed my test and I just used pocket prep, I would absolutely recommend.
I just paid for premium access a few weeks ago and now I'm locked out. After multiple troubleshooting and restart attempts, my only option to is diffuse the charge through my credit card.
Great rationales with questions. UI is fantastic and intuitive. I love that it will let you switch which exam you're studying for as well. Makes a yearly subscription really worth it. Perfect for nurses that have to cross train in multiple departments!
I had Pocket Prep before, like this app MUCH better!! I had the paid version and was worried that I would lose everything when I had to reinstall the app. For those of you having problems, restart your phone. It should work then!
Fairly user friendly. A little pricy for only having a few month subscription, although that seems to be the market. Some of the rationales seem really off but most of them are solid (i also haven't taken ccrn just yet). I do wish it had a few pages just of the normal values for labs, vent parameters, and swans
many of these questions are absolutely ridiculous, you will never see such poorly worded questions on any bcen exam. Prime example, this app. insists the parkland formula is 2XkgXBSA. in fact that is not supported by the BCEN it is 4XkgXBSA. "2" is a modified parkland. There is a bunch of info on this app. that is completely wrong ...don't use this app...completely garbage!
This was my primary method of study for the PMHNP exam and I passed on my first attempt. I really like how it told me where in the purple book or Saddock to get more info on questions I missed. Only complaint is there are too few questions. After reseting the question back a few times I started to memorize questions and knew the answers before I finished reading.
While I'd say this app is insufficient to use as a sole study resource for the CCRN, it was a great supplemental app to use along with Barron's CCRN study guide to help learn concepts on the test. Between using both Barron's study guide and answering all the questions available on the CCRN portion of this app, I answered 106 out of 125 questions correctly (83 correct answers are necessary to pass). I highly recommend.
I used this for my NPD exam and it was super helpful!
Definitely helped prepare for the CEN exam for content and question structure! My only suggestion is that it would be helpful for the mock exams to be random sets of questions each time rather than the same set for each exam. Overall, was a great study tool!
