“It's perfect for on the go. I like how it explains the wrong answers so you can have a better understanding.” Katie Gerard, Google Play Review
“Helped me review 1 day before and I passed so I'm entering the RN program March of 2017.” Samantha Webb, Google Play Review
“This app is amazing! I love that if you answer incorrectly it EXPLAINS the correct answer instead of just telling you which answer is correct. I'm currently an LPN reviewing for the PAX-RN exam, and because of this app, I feel so much more prepared to take the exam!” Google Play Review
