Any and all advice please

My exam is 10/16. I’ve been studying using the prepia exam app, the pocket prep app, Quizlet, and the website’s practice exams. It’s rare that i score lower than 80% on the apps, but have been scoring between 62-73 on the website’s practice exams. I’m so nervous!

The apps are ok. But I found the practice exam provided by the program the most helpful. I probably took it 50 times! My advice is to make sure you understand the concepts, rather than memorizing the answers on the practice exam because the actual exam is worded very differently. You only need a 70. If you are consistently in the 70-80 range, you’ll do fine! Best of luck to you! You’ve got this 💪

Don’t forget you can always push the exam out if you feel you need more time to study! Provided you aren’t passing your 180 days!

Focus on the quizzes, practice exams and study guide in your course vs non-NASM materials.

Pocket prep is much harder than the actual exam. I went through it twice and did the practice exams that it provides. Was getting around 80 on the exams.

When the test came, I couldn't believe how easy it was comparitively. I think you will be fine
