Hey Penny. I use Guidelines for Exercise Testing & Prescription, Certification review book, & Resource Manual for Guidelines for Exercise testing & prescription. I really enjoyed my materials & within the first few pages I gained so much knowledge. You can look at them on http://www.lww.com & the set is about $120, I was able to get mine new on amazon & saved about $35-40.
There are 125-150 questions on the exam & you'll have 2.5 hours to complete it.
Exam Blue Prints
The approximate distribution of exam questions across each KSA competency area for each ACSM certification exam is as follows:
KSAs Competency Area | Certified Personal TrainerSM |
| Exercise Prescription (Training) and Programming | 28% |
| Exercise Physiology and Related Exercise Science | 24% |
| Health Appraisal and Fitness Exercise Testing | 13% |
| Clinical and Medical Considerations | 10% |
| Nutrition and Weight Management | 9% |
| Safety, Injury Prevention and Emergency Procedures | 8% |
| Human Behavior | 4% |
| Program Administration, Quality Assurance, and Outcome Assessment | 4% |
Hope that helps a little,
Dina
