Dina,

 

I have the books you suggested. I saw on the internet that a company called Morrison-Media had a review course and flash cards. I didn't know if these were worth using.

 

One last question--once the test is completed, are the results of the test posted?

 

Thanks

 

Penny

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

I am studying for the ACSM personal trainer exam. Has anyone used study
materials? If so, which do you like?

Another question: how many questions are on the test?

Thanks
