Just took NSCA CPT exam yesterday, my thoughts - Personal Trainer Community - Forum

Hi all new to this site as the post says I just took the test yesterday, it was the paper/pencil version so results wont be in for 4-6 wks., I feel as though I did terrible, I have been studying for 10 months with no background really, I went through the book at least 4-7 times I really dont know, took all 3 practice exams, did really well on them, I went it feeling very prepared..what really threw me was how the questions were asked or worded for that matter. There were things that I felt were not at all in the text, at this point I'm confused and wished I would have went for an easier certification, all I can do now is wait but I am going purely on gut feeling and I don't think I passed, if not I would like anyones recommendations on an easier yet accredited certification.. Thanks much

Hi and welcome. That test is not easy. I thought the ACSM exam was much easier. If I were you, I would keep studying so that if I did not pass I could a) take it again or b) go for a different certification.

I know it is tough not knowing but hang in there.

Yep exactly, but while I was worrying I ordered ACSM material in case I failed the NSCA, I really like there material and now I have more to study, which I really enjoy..you never can learn too much!
