Hi and welcome to the forum! I know of someone on the board who is going to take the exam on Dec. 2nd at a different location. Did you have a specific question regarding the exam?

I was just curious to know what type of last min. preperation anyone might reccommend the week leading up to the exam, and looking for a chance to network a bit.

Have you purchased a practice exam? It will be help identify your weak areas. You can purchase the online version since your exam is in a few days. I strongly encourage you to do this!

My weak areas were movement analysis/anatomy. Do you have a degree in exercise science?

Best of luck! Let me know if you have any other questions!

I have a practice exam. I also have the symposium tapes and outline as well as the "Essentials" text. I'm currently working on my B.S. in physical education at Eastern Michigan University. Thank you for the advice.

Okay with 3 days left to study, My over all score was 31 out of 47. ACK!

I need to bone up on Techniques of Exercise which i got 9 out of 17 questions right.

This has a lot more to do with me not knowing the exact muscles or the antagonist muscle for certain exercises. So I'll review those chapters in the book.

Also I just barely passed the Client Consultation/Assessment with 7 right out of 10. So will study those chapters as well.

Everyone else taking the practice exam, what do you need to work on?

I did well on the practice test. Client Consultation/Assessment was my weakest area as well. I still got 2 days to brush up. lol . Well good luck to you and anyone else taking the exam.

Well, I'm glad thats over. now i just have to wait 6-8 weeks to find out if i passed.

How do you think you did?!?

Hard to say. It was a tough test. Some times i feel i did well other times i'm not sure. I cant stress about it too much I just have to wait for the results.
