STUDY AND TAKE YOUR TIME ON THE ACSM EXAM

I just passed the ACSM exam a few weeks ago. I studied a total of about 140 hours over a 3 month period. The main thing is to study all the materials and practice the VO2 formulas. Also get a medical dictionary, the texts use a lot of medical terms like caldication and arthereosclorosis. Don't take the exam until you are scoring at least 80% on the practice exams.

The main thing is take your time and re-read the questions and answers on the exam, some are a little tricky. you will have plenty of time to finish, don't worry about that.
