NASM Exam is easy if you study

I just passed the NASM Exam 1 hour ago.Out of the 120 questions I may have dropped 5 if that. I found it very easy, evidenced by the fact that it only took me 44 minutes to complete.I only had to defer 10 questions until the end,since I could not answer them instantly. That meant that I was very confident of my answers for 110 questions first time through.

I had studied hard over the last few weeks using all the preparation material. I went through the book maybe 4 times. After the 3rd reading, things really started to click.On each reading I found new information and deeper understanding.

It's all a function of how much you study. If you really know your stuff the correct answer is obvious and the other 3 selections are clearly wrong. The questions were mostly one or two lines, straightforward and only a few required re-reading just to make sure of the meaning.They don't seem to be out to catch you, just know the material.I always prefer to overprepare and all the tests I have taken have been a formality.Good Luck.

Don't be nervous

Don't be nervous. Confidence comes with learning. Keep at it until you know it really well.Remember, these are multiple choice questions aned they are giving you the answer. By repeated readings of the text you stand a good chance of recognising the answer immediately. It worked for me.Just know your stuff.As far as the Assessment is concerned try to learn the names of the overactive and underactive muscles. A good trick is to visualize the muscles on your own body in the various assessment positions.While there are some questions on assessment there are not that many.Overprepare for the exam if you can.Good Luck

I am curious as to how the questions are worded because many people on this site state that the practice test is nothing like the real one. Can you give an example please?
