Your instructor or admin will send you a unique Pocket Prep license via email. Once you receive the email, follow the steps below to connect your license to an existing or new Pocket Prep account.


New accounts:

  1. Click “Create account” on your email invite.

  2. This will bring you to an account creation page.

  3. Fill in your first and last name, your email address will already be filled in for you. Your license code is automatically tied to your email address, so you won’t need to type that out anywhere.

    Note: Your account will use a magic link to sign in by default, which lets you sign in by simply clicking a button in an email. Prefer to use a password to sign in? Click “Create a password” under the email text box.

  4. Agree to the terms of use and privacy policy, and click “Start Studying” to create your new account with premium access.

  5. You will be shown a confirmation message that you’ve successfully activated your premium license in the bottom left of your screen. You’re ready to study!

Next download the Pocket Prep App - For the optimal mobile experience, we recommend students download our app after activating their license. Our app provides exam preparation for hundreds of exams across various fields. To find and download our app search for “Pocket Prep” and your exam name in either the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Look for the app logo depicted below to ensure you download the correct app (also provided screenshot below).

Note: Your progress will always be synced and up to date regardless of which platform or combo of platforms (Web/Mobile) you choose to study with.


Existing accounts:

Already have an account with progress you don’t want to lose? If your existing account uses the same email address as the one your instructor sent your license code to, follow the steps below.

If you would like to claim a license on an account with a different email address than the one your instructor sent your license to, you will need to apply your license manually.

  1. Confirm that the email address in your existing account matches the email address your instructor sent your license to. Not sure which email address your account is tied to? You can find your registered email address in the Settings area in-app or on the web.

  2. Tap “Sign in” on your email invite. This will bring you to a sign-in page where you can sign in to your existing account (if you aren’t signed in already).

  3. Sign in using the email address of your preferred account.

  4. After you've signed in, you’ll automatically be taken to the exam settings page with your license code pre-filled. Click “Activate” to apply the license to your account.

    Note: if your name is not pre-filled, you will need to enter it manually before clicking “Activate”. This tells your instructor who you are.

  5. You've successfully claimed your license. You get free premium prep thanks to your organization!
