NSCA CSCS Pocket Prep for Android

This app is incredible! The questions are definitely easier than those seen on the CSCS but I have no doubt that it will help you greatly. The best part about it is the explanation for every wrong and right answer with pg numbers to the text! This helped me greatly to pass the CSCS and it’s certainly worth the price. Good luck!

What’s the deal with this?? Will there be another version updated soon? I had this happen to me about six months ago while I was studying for my exam. It’s still not resolved and I see an updated version.

Are you guys still updating this app??

I used the pocket prep app and I felt like I knew the material well. I answered all 800 questions with 91% accuracy. The prep questions are very easy... so I was extremely confidant going in to the test. But come test day I failed both sections. I’m not saying it’s good or bad but it did not work for me. If you don’t know the avg vertical leap of a college women’s lacrosse player or the avg clean for a men’s soccer player or the avg t test time for a 231lb college football player - you won’t pass. The questions were that specific. You need to memorize almost all those charts in the book and the app just doesn’t test you very much on that.

I love this app. I definitely think it helped me learn the concepts needed for the exam. I like the timed aspect, that you can choose which sections you want to work on, the explanations, that it keeps track of your progress, etc. However, after taking the exam, I feel that this app could provide a little bit better format of questions. For instance, the first portion of the exam (exercise science and nutrition) included MANY questions that required doing a lot of math. Other than some basic multiplication or division problems, this app does not include having to do extensive math, and there are very few questions that are situational. The questions on the exam are far more in-depth and scientific than the questions on the app and took a lot of time to solve. Needless to say, (though I was not expecting the EXACT same questions or format) I was not prepared for the first portion of the exam. I ran out of time when reviewing the questions due to the amount of time spent on the situational/math problems. The second portion of the exam (the other 4 sections) was almost identical format to the questions on the app. I flew through the second portion and had plenty of time to spare. I do love this app and I am very happy I purchased it, I just feel they could do a better job at formatting the questions more like the questions within the actual exam that may require more time to be taken.
