Anyone who has ever worked out in a gym has probably encountered a personal trainer or utilized his or her services. Whether to work on boosting one’s fitness level or for rehab, we all know just how important it is to keep fit. For anyone who has considered a career as a certified personal trainer, they’ve probably wondered which path is best. Just what does it take to become a personal trainer and which certification is best? Obviously if you’re looking at this particular practice test guide, you’re interested in the American Council on Exercise (ACE) certification.
In the front matter of this book several certifications are discussed, including the American Council on Exercise (ACE) Certification, the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) Certification, the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) - Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) as well as the ACSM. The advantages and disadvantages are outlined for each one of them. For example, one of the advantages of taking the ACE is that the “certifications do not require a college-level degree to sit for the exam.”
On the flip side the disadvantage is the fact that “the study materials and test can be expensive, totaling over $600 for the Personal Trainers Certification alone without specializations.” Most individuals, prior to purchasing test prep guides and tests have already researched requirements for certification. Details for the ACE are outlined in the front matter, including the four domain areas, the number of question, the percentage of questions, and the scoring. FYI, you’ll need a passing score of 500 or higher to pass. Checking out the ACE website would be a wise move even before purchase of any study / prep exams.
There are three full practice tests in this book, each followed by a mirror image test with correct answers indicated. This is a short, but excellent practice test for anyone considering taking the ACE. As I’ve often maintained, it doesn’t hurt to take several different types of tests in order to prepare for the “real” exam, but this is one of the more affordable ones I’ve seen.
