1.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK IS A RACKET
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2017

These tests must be written with an outdated version of the textbook. They contain information not contained within or directly contradictory to information in the 5th edition. Here are a few examples:

This definition of a mesocycle in these tests is 6-12 weeks, in the NASM text it is a month.
This tests drills HIPPAA rules and diseases, like megaloblastic anemia, which aren't covered in the text.
This test drills a three-site skin fold assessment, NASM teaches a 4-site assessment.
Silly, careless inconsistencies: for example, the test asked what a CEC is. Continuing education Credit. NASM uses Continuing education unit (CEU).
NASM teaches active-isolated, dynamic, and SMR stretching techniques. Yet these tests are peppered with something called assisted-stretching and PNF which is not covered by NASM.

Not surprisingly, the practice test answers don't reference the textbook at all- so it is not easy to find out where they think their answer came from. Finally, their 'explanations' of wrong answers are often of the complexity 'D. Incorrect. Because it is wrong". I haven't tried other printed test prep materials, but I don't think they could be much worse- I'd urge you to hedge your bets with something else. I have been using the Pocket Prep NASM CPT app, it's awesome. Questions reflect the text book and answers are all cite specific pages within the text book.

I could go on and on and on. This book is a racket and WILL NOT HELP YOU PREPARE FOR THE TEST. I'm super skeptical of the handful of positive reviews, I imagine they are friends of the publisher or author.

I like it and it is like the questions from the tests I have taken. These questions make me understand what to read more. Unfortunately I think that you can't find more than 20 questions in the book. This is why I have to take it for a fourth time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Three study exams with answers will be great preparation for your Personal Trainer Certificate.
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2017
This very inexpensive book contains three complete practice tests with the answers in order for you to get a good handle on what will be on your test to become a certified Personal Trainer with the National Academy of Sports Training.

Each test will include:
1. Basic and Applied Sciences and Nutritional Concepts
2. Assessment
3. Program Design
4. Exercise Technique and Training Instruction
5. Client Relations and Behavioral Coaching
6. Professional Development and Responsibility

The test is a two-hour exam. This is the best way to come prepared. If you have already taken three practice tests and done well, then the final actual test should be easily achieved.

I received this book from the publisher to test and rate their methods. I chose to write a review on Amazon myself. No one coerced me.

This test booklet is a great preparation for the actual certification test for Personal Trainers through the NASM.

4.0 out of 5 stars About the take the NASM Exam?
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2017
When studying for any certification exam, it is important to get as many different sources as possible. This book contains 3 full length tests for the National Academy of Sports Medicine CPT exam.

The questions are short and clearly written. At the end of each test are the answers - and it's important to read not just the correct answer but the incorrect ones as well - as they contain the information on why that answer is wrong. By reading over the questions and the answers you will get a good review of the information presented in class. It covers, assessment, basic science, exercise technique, and other areas such as professional development. If our about to take the certification exam - this book would be of benefit to you.

I was furnished a copy of the book for free with the hope that I would do a review of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Prepare and Practice!
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2017
When preparing for a test or certification of any kind, reviewing as many training and prep books is what I've personally found helpful. This book has 3 full length practice exams for the National Academy of Sports Medicine CPT Test. I read and went through questions in 5 books when I studied for NYS social work certification. I read that only 75 percent at that time, passed the first time they took the test. Not sure what it is for people studying sports medicine, but you don't want to be in that percentage of students failing. The more you can absorb, the better off you'll be!

1.0 out of 5 stars Severely Outdated
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2018
When I have taken major exams in my life, I have used as many study materials and taken as many sample tests as I possibly can. If you are like me and will be taking the NASM, you would probably want to do the same thing and might be tempted to purchase the NASM PERSONAL TRAINING PREP BOOK which contains 3 full-length practice exams. If that is the case, please don’t. Why I think there is benefit in studying as much as possible, the NASM PERSONAL TRAINING PREP BOOK would not be a good investment of your time or money. The book seems to be written using a much earlier edition of the NASM textbook (probably the 3rd edition). The book is riddled with errors and questions that are in direct contradiction of the most current NASM textbook. Textbooks are regularly updated as more information becomes available and so are tests. This test prep book has not been updated.
