Am I Ready for the ACSM Exam?

by Dennis Youngerman
(San Diego, CA)

I am in the military as a Naval Hospital Corpsman. To sum it up, we have quite a diverse amount of knowledge in medicine, A&P, nursing, emergency care, nutrition, and the list goes on.

I have been forewarned about this test and I DO NOT want to underestimate it. At the same time though, I have been studying pretty thoroughly lately and find my self getting bored with the material because I have been in the field of working with the human body for about 4 years know and a lot of it is just repeat.

I have taken the consideration in memorizing all the equations such as MHR, FET's, BMI, planes of the body, and etc, but I just feel like I could walk in and take the test and score decently off of what I already know.

Am I still underestimating the test? So far I have been scoring %85 - 100 on most of the practice tests and yet for some reason I still feel intimidated. Does anyone have any other advice?
