JUST STUDY! I Passed NASM

First I want to say thank you to others who have posted their experiences - you really helped me!

I heard horror stories and how difficult the test was so when I was finished in 40 min I was scared - it couldn't be that easy could it? I say easy because I studied for 2 months - I read the book, did all the tests in the book, went to the 2-day workshop, listened to my ipod with the chapters on there, did the workbook, and practiced on others. It seems like a lot but if I was going to use this info for a career I wanted to know it! I am a studier - I am almost 46 years old and it has been about 4 years since I have had a college class so I was out of the "study practice mode".

One piece of advice - do NOT take the practice test but maybe one time!! NASM told me not to take that test - study the acute variables, the OPT models, basics of nutrition and know all of the planes - Pretty much just do the study guide, listen and watch the DVDs, go to the worshop and you should be fine!

This is a super site!
