NASM exam is not that hard
by Sam
(Fairfax, virginia)
First off, don't worry...the exam is not all that hard. I had never worked in a gym before and studied 4 months for the test, but was a full time student and had a part time job. So i probably spent 2-3 hours a week studying.
The test is a little harder than the practice exam, but not all that much harder. Make sure you know the the OPT model and the assessment chapter. There wasn't that much on functional anatomy.
All these horror stories you will read are from hot shots who think that they can skim the book and pass the test...not gonna happen
STEP ONE: read chapter one, and than do the study guide section that corresponds to chapter one...after that, watch the dvd segment for chapter one. Repeat this process for EVERY chapter.
STEP TWO: Skim over each chapter in the book.
STEP THREE: Go over the study guide sections for each chapter again.
Take the test...and ACE IT!
