10 Secrets to Pass the NASM Exam in 2023 - NASM Practice Tests + Study Guide 💯

[@maximizedmotionsfitness4063]

Thank you for this video. I am having a hard time with overactive and under-active muscles. I will be using the mnemonics to remember them.

[@Ptpioneer]

Using mnemonics for the overactive and underactive muscles of all of the postural assessments is one of the most helpful things that my students have used to pass this part of the NASM test! Good luck!

[@kitaporta]

I wish I would have watched this video before I read the ENTIRE BOOK for a month and now only have a week to study the material. The questions are so random sometimes even inconsistent. Thanks for the tips on where to focus my energy!

[@kakareni]

Good luck, you will do it. Waiting for the good news ;)

[@hudson.kemnitz]

[@iBeaTsCinema]

got it first try just read chapters 6, 7, 13,14 and do the quizzes until you pass 3 times in a row

[@Itsnothodges]

So only have to read those chapters none of the other ones?

[@sashanewman9387]

And what edition did you study from?

[@iBeaTsCinema]

do the quizzes for all of the chapters until you pass, but of course if you have time read the entire book

[@iBeaTsCinema]

@@sashanewman9387 6th edition, do all the quizzes until you pass as well as the practice exam

[@unune9069]

I started NASM a few weeks ago! Thank you for this video, the info is great and well appreciated! It definitely made things a bit easier for me. You're awesome! 🌻🤗

[@hollyuloth9774]

I've been studying the book and it's already been months of me trying to memorize everything and I'm only at page 250! I broke down in frustration today but then found this video and I feel much more optimistic! Thanks! Is it still relevant, do you think, for the current version of the course?

[@AnitaPatel-mq2fp]

Thank You Coach Tylor, This is through information you just gave. I just signed up with NASM and going to need lots of help to study.

[@glendanalle627]

I will tell you the only way to be truly prepared for passing your NASM CPT test the first time is to study hard. I’m 56, and I took my test over 12 years ago. Passed it the first time, but I was worried I hadn’t. Any NASM certifications you choose to specialize in is no different. You must read and truly study the materials fully or risk a re-test. I passed my test the first time, and I have passed every specialization certification test on my first attempt, since becoming a trainer. Taking each certification should be taken as seriously as possible, as every person we train is different. Know your literature and study it and you will pass. Don’t be arrogant and think you will just pass. Be humble and take the time to read, practice, and study the materials. Use others advice that might help you too!!!

[@Sparx18100]

Very helpful thanks for posting! I've been studying for about 6 weeks now and plan to take my exam in about 4 weeks. I will definitely use your practice tests 2 weeks prior to taking the exam.

[@funnydud3146]

How’d it go?

[@bearholdensharkslux4791]

I have mine in 2 weeks hopefully I can pass on the 2nd time

[@thekettlebellcoach]

Are the practice tests the same as the quizzes at the end of each chapter in the online portal?

[@BattlestarGenesis]

4:17, you show the power phase using 1-20 reps. This is false. NASM book states 10-15 for power flexibility and 8-12 for Core, balance and plyometric.

[@datguy4104]

That's for resistance training.

[@ThaChosenChild]

dude ty

[@teddyarchibald7278]

You are a saint

[@lululine5858]

I didn’t see any questions about OPT, it was mostly under active or overactive. The exam is not like the chapter quizzes or practice exam

[@Princeton_James]

Where is that chapter 14 chart on the 7th edition? I don't see it in chapter 14.

[@cassandrastafford682]

Thank you for your video. Trying to study this book on my own has been difficult. I have until December 15 to take the online exam. You mentioned you have free flash cards on your website. Are those words the only ones I need to know? Or do I need to add to the list?

[@funnydud3146]

Did you pass it first time?

[@WholeLifeVitality]

Do you have flashcards for the 7th edition?

[@Number3boyz]

I think I’m a bit lost, I got Nasm like three weeks ago and I’m on chapter 4, nothing about the muscular or nervous system yet! They update it all the time.

[@geezerhamster]

What edition is the chapter 14 chart for? My book says power would be 1-10 reps, and they do not list phase 2 at all. I have the 6th edition. Thank you!

[@BC-ds8ey]

omg can someone pls tell me what the gastrocnemius does???

[@boogieburnside]

you mean your calf muscle?..it does calf muscle thangs.

[@Ptpioneer]

Thank you for this, I will have to look into what the problem is. Good luck with the standing for the National Academy of sports medicine

[@nathansnature]

I passed all of the Nasm quizzes from each chapter, all 90-100 percent. Study guide and practice exam quizzes passed with 80 percent and higher. Does that mean that I'm ready to take the test? I only read some of the book but my retention for reading isn't that good.

[@sabrinaphillip4356]

Where can I find the pdf of the opt training chart?

[@rebecagaldon2956]

what is chapter 3 equivalent in the 7th edition?

[@Betancourt171]

7th editions ?

[@The_Void_Staring_Back]

Uhhh.... that chart of the OPT model you have at 4:24 is definitely *NOT* in the book.... the only way that chart lines up is if the question is regarding the RESISTANCE aspect of that phase only, which you do not specify here.... The Flexibility, Core, Balance, Plyo, and SAQ aspects of the 5 phases are all different than whats depicted here on this chart...

[@samjones5093]

How do you do the practice tests? Please help

[@NI-CO-LA]

Im on chapter 4. It seems a little difficult. How important is this chapter on the exam?

[@fitnessuniverse111]

Very good and helpfull video...If you are familiar with CES - I've heard its even harder or ,at least,more demanding. It would be really beneficial for all who wants to obtain that certificate ,too. Also,it would be helpfull for everyone who wants to improve in correctional exercises and training...:)

[@hami308]

Please tell me , there only multiple choice questions right? And how many questions they asked??

[@treybriggs6445]

Where can I find the practice test

[@smol_irish_ghost9474]

Does this all apply to the version 6 or 7? I'm on version 6, so I'm thinking those finals are a bit different that version 7?

[@rdg665]

2021 here , So is it okay to study from the 6th edition book even though a 7th edition has been released ? In my country the only edition available for purchase is the 6th , the 7th is nowhere to be found anywhere.

[@smh1733]

Is your website still upto date???

[@Dulce.MacDonald]

is ten weeks enough time to study ?

[@Fit.Nut.s]

8:08... word "probably" is a typo

[@Fit.Nut.s]

the pop-up ad on your website misspelled 'secret' also..

[@123abc8027]

Thank you for this. Their guided study is kinda trash honestly

[@retthok]

I have a question and I'm not joking. I'm a male, 67 yrs. of age. If I had the certification would I be discriminated in the industry because of age? I know age discrimination is prohibited but could it hinder a job placement?

[@Ptpioneer]

As long as you build trust with your clients and increase your credibility through consistent learning and your ability to train others, there are still many ways you can succeed!

[@beautifuldreamer0811]

There are a couple of trainers at my gym that are older. They have primarily older clients, but they can connect with them easier than a younger trainer can, as they understand what getting older is like. If it is something you want to do, I say go for it!

[@priyarevisdass]

Could you please let me know what is the table no. for chapter 14 mentioned in tip #4? I cannot find it in the book...at least not in chapter 14. Thanks.

[@JFP95]

Can you use the chapter reviews that are provided with the nasm as an alternative to reading the entire chapters? Or will that cause you to miss out on too much

[@Ptpioneer]

I wouldn't replace reading through the chapters entirely, but the chapter reviews are a great way to see how the material is summarized. Follow up with identifying what is covered in the domains and you're all set!

[@AllAmericanGuy01]

I'm finishing up the book and have passed all the chapter review quizzes with ease repeatedly. Yet so many people say the certification exam is difficult. Does the chapter review quiz not reflect the material covered on the final exam??

[@beautifuldreamer0811]

Did you end up passing the test? I too had a really easy time passing my quizzes and am wondering the same thing.

[@holidaykorn]

Oh am sorry I saw page 372 under resistance ,so now I’m confuse more hahaha

[@hoopdreams2g2btru]

I studied all 500 index cards and only 2 of the index cards were on the test exam. What a waste. The practice exam too were little to no help. 90 percent of the questions that’s on the exam are scattered in the book mentioned only once with little importance hidden between a bunch of carried out definitions that’s not going to be on the exam

[@Ptpioneer]

Which index cards are you referring to? On my study page on my website I only have approximately 50 of them. I hope you pass your exam!

Sorry, dude -- but you lose a lot of credibility when you say "opt" -- rather than spelling out the acronym "O" "P" "T". ... are you even NASM certified? No one who would have spent enough time studying to pass the exam would ever in their entire life say "opt."
