Looking for a Pocket Prep alternative?

Pocket Prep earned its reputation: a large question bank, a polished mobile experience, and coverage across many certifications. Plenty of people have used it and passed. This page isn't here to tell you it's bad — it's here to explain what we do differently, so you can decide which approach fits how you learn.

1. Every question is classified by Bloom's taxonomy. Volume drilling treats all questions the same. We tag each one by cognitive level, so you can see whether you're acing "remember" questions but missing the "evaluate"-level scenarios that decide real exams.
2. Exam Lens explanations teach the reasoning. Every right and wrong answer is walked through the exam's own reasoning framework — the mindset the test writers grade against — not just a restated fact. You learn how the exam thinks, not just what the answer was.
3. 11 certifications in one subscription. PMP, Certified ScrumMaster, SHRM-CP, Six Sigma Green Belt, CPP, CIA Part 1, ITIL 4 Foundation, CompTIA Security+, Network+, A+ Core 2, and PgMP — one account, one price, no per-exam add-ons.
4. Ready for the July 2026 PMP change. PMI updates the PMP exam against a new Exam Content Outline in July 2026. We maintain a dedicated PMP Exam v2026 question bank alongside the current one, so your prep matches the exam you'll actually sit. Here's what's changing.
5. A 60-day, no-conditions money-back guarantee. Use CipherExam Pro for up to 60 days. Not for you? Email us and we refund every dollar — no proof of anything, no fine print.

A fair way to compare any two prep tools: take ten practice questions in each, get a few wrong on purpose, and read the explanations. Ask yourself one thing — did this explanation teach me how to get the next question right, or just this one?

If flashcard-style volume is working for you, keep going — momentum matters. If you've plateaued, try the reasoning-first approach. The 7-day free trial doesn't ask for a credit card, so testing us costs nothing but an evening.

Is CipherExam a Pocket Prep replacement or a supplement?

Either. Some people run both — volume drilling in one, reasoning practice in the other. Most find that once explanations start teaching the frame, they consolidate to one tool.

Which certifications does CipherExam cover?

PMP (including a dedicated PMP Exam v2026 bank), Certified ScrumMaster, SHRM-CP, Six Sigma Green Belt, Certified Payroll Professional, CIA Part 1, ITIL 4 Foundation, CompTIA Security+, Network+, A+ Core 2, and PgMP — all in one subscription.

What does it cost?

$19/month, or $190/year. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial — no credit card required — and Pro is covered by a 60-day, no-conditions money-back guarantee.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. The trial never charges a card, and paid plans cancel from your dashboard in two clicks.
