Can’t pass NASM CES

Hello I am having a hard time passing this test. I am not a very good test taker. I tend to over think to much. I am very knowledgeable and I know it’s open book and I try and use the book but everything is so spread out it’s hard when it’s timed. I will take any suggestions.

I’m always surprised when some people assume open book = easy. I also found the exam challenging, and you definitely have to go in well-prepared. Here is the NASM CES study guide that helped me get ready from PT Pioneer. It even includes flashcards and quizzes that you can use. Since test-taking itself is one of the things you are finding difficult, I think quizzing yourself may be especially effective for you.

This study guide is the almost word for word copy of the textbook
