I failed the ACE exam twice

I am currently studying for my ACE Personal trainer exam. I have
already taken the test 2 times and am getting closer to passing. It is a difficult exam for me since my background is in IT.

I work at a higher-end club and the trainers make close to six figure salaries, so there is a lot more money to be made than what is published here. I know trainers that charge $40-$60 an hour for their services.

Why did you fail so much???
by: Jen

How much did you study before your tests? Have you had much hands on experience with lifting and or a fitness life style?

Why did you fail the ACE exam?
by: Katie - Admin

Jen makes a good point. Why did you fail the ACE exam? What did you do to pass the ACE exam on your third try? If you have failed the ACE exam tell us why and what you did to eventually pass it.

And of course, with our double your money back guarantee on our exam prep course, it is a risk free way to focus your studies.

I've failed twice as well.
by: anonymous

I was so gun-ho the first time I bought the full ACE study materials and studied for 4 months. While I have worked out for years I have no background as a personal trainer or a suitable degree. Needless to say using the materials alone did not help, and I missed passing by 38 points.

Two years later I was more diligent in my studies and gave myself about six months to prepare. While I did extremely better in the multiple choice questions, I bombed the simulation portion and missed passing by 14 points. I've gone now to the weekend study workshop and realize you must know your basic math, so practice before hand if you're not good with the numbers.

Also being conservative with your answers on the simulation is great advice. Don't answer as you might really do with the different techniques you've picked up along the way, but as the ACE material suggest you should. This time around I am taking practice test numerous times to prepare and also have gotten some experience working with people to get the practical application down.
