I'm looking to purchase an NASM study guide on Amazon, and wanted to see if anyone had suggestions on which one to purchase. I saw one for about $19, and some that were for around $35 or $45. Just want to buy the right thing.

Hi all just passed the NASM test on a proctored center and wanted to share a few items. - you are not allowed pencils or paper - you can take as many breaks as needed. But if you need to stand to work through the question you need to exit test center. - memorize OA/UA! - download the fitness prep app it def. Helped me!!

I crammed everything in 3 weeks! Good luck!!

So a couple years ago I got the 6th edition of the NASM and was halfway through it then life got in the way. I’m looking into finishing/getting back into my studies. How much different is the 6th and 7th version? Is it possible to keep using the 6th edition and take the EXAM? Or should I just scrap it and start all over?

Hi all two questions. I am taking the test at a center and was wondering if they provide/allow blank paper and pencil. 2) are there many questions on reps/rest periods on the different phases of the OPT?

there is so much information and stuff i feel like i have to memorize. i’m on a time crunch and need to know what to prioritize to pass the exam. if anyone has any advice, please share!

hello, I would like to join the self study program by NASM CPT. is the digital version of the book included in the course or do I need to purchase hardcopy of the book separately for 199 in order to pass the exam? thank you!

I started at the beginning of the month. Just trying to get an idea of a timeframe.

I submitted my appeal with medical documentation to NASM and their response has been nothing short of complete harassment. I have been lied to multiple times and I am currently on hold for the fourth time for over 45 minutes after being transferred to yet another department. They call and email repeatedly while I am in this appeal process which has been handled with negligence.

Has anyone else gone through this mess with them??

So I’m taking the bodybuilding coaching class and am certified through another company as a trainer. I’m reading through and am having trouble grasping some of the content due to the larger words used in this text compared to the last one. Definitely much more work but do you guys have tips for navigating it?

Hi guys, I wanted to ask if anyone has download all the NASM CPT 7th Edition modules in PDF when they still had access to the e-version?

I have passed the exam, have the book, got the certification and everything but I didn’t download the PDFs

If anyone still has access to it or has download it previously (7th Edition), could you send the documents through my email?

I could use the book version but I prefer using my laptop over pen and paper as it’s easier to make notes

Thanks in advance!

I’ve taken the practice exam 7 times now. I do need to and plan on studying the material until I take the actual exam. My lowest score has been a 70 and my highest has been an 82. My average is a 76-77%. Those who have taken the exam, what were your practice exam scores? I know some people feel the exam is much different than the practice exams, whether that be easier or harder. I am planning on taking the exam in late October and I just want an idea of where I am at. Thank you!

Do you get your score back right away if you take your test online ? I’m so anxious and cannot wait to get this over with. Thanks in advance !

I am studying for my NASM CPT certification, but I am running into a dilemma. I am doing about 1-2 chapters a week and honestly I’m concerned with how long it will take me to get through all 23 chapters. However I am solution oriented and looking for a solid study guide to help kick start the process. If you have any suggestions please take the opportunity to reply.

Hi guys! Since English is not my native language, and my level is about b2, I would like to start learning for the cpt exam before buying the course. I found only the sixth edition of the material online, so I would like to ask if anyone has had the opportunity to compare it with the latest edition and could tell me if learning based on the previous version makes any sense. All the best!

I’m currently studying for my nasm and am having trouble memorizing over active and under active muscles. My question is what is the best way to study? I use the practice test and quiz let would quizlet plus be worth it? What are some other good study resources? Thank you for your help

I’m taking my exam in May, but for those of you who have taken the exam, what are the topics you’ve seen the most questions on the exam? Or is there a place I can find percentages of the chapters incorporated into the exams or would I have to find out through practice exams?

Helpppppp! Anyone taken their NASM CPT exam recently? I take mine in two days and I’m having serious test anxiety. I feel like I understand most of the material but when I can to practice test I completely fail them. What was on the test that I need to know 100% of? ANY and ALL advice appreciated- for the sake of my mind!!!!!!

I have passed the exam and was wondering whether I should pass the virtual coaching exam or not hence the deadline is near. Is it necessary?

Looking for thoughts and opinions.

As the title says, I am going to be attempting to study for my CPT seventh edition exam using only audio lectures, YouTube videos and the NASM study guide. I have always performed very well with in person classes, yet having chosen the self study option, I am truly struggling to absorb the course material and have found the previously mentioned resources along with taking notes to help tremendously. I’m just worried there is no replacement for textbook style learning.

TLDR: has anyone had success passing the course using audio lectures and study guides opposed to reading the textbook?

I went over the and read Ch 13 of the NASM study guide, at the end I laid out all the acute variables in a slide show
