Passed NASM CPT a few days ago.....what I studied... - Personal Trainer Community - Forum

Successfully made it through the CPT exam a few days ago on attempt# 1. I noticed there are a lot of questions on what to study on this forum...here is what worked for me. I read through the entire book once and watched the video's...was going to go through a second time but the book burnt me out! Looking for new ways to study I checked out apps for I Touch and I pad....found one called NASM U (it is not put out there by NASM). It contains 400 questions to study and test yourself with....they are similar to what you will see on the test...this app was a great help and probably the best $5.99 I've spent in a long time.... if I had trouble answering a few on a particular subject I would review the NASM video for that subject. On the advice of others I studied the chart on" Muscle imbalances and Corrective Strategies".

After a few chapters of study I quit using the NASM workbook. I also bought some flashcards from a company called Mometrix Media at flashcardsecrets.com.....they WERE A TOTAL WASTE of around $50. If anything after looking through them I felt like I would never pass the exam and that I should start studying all over again.
