How To Pass The NASM Fitness Nutrition Specialist Exam (FNS) | Nutrition Coach | NASM Study Tips

[@fightingtemptationswithshe5430]

Just passed. 1st try but barely. I listened to you and learned much as I could. Did every test multiple times and I can clearly say, anyone, pursuing this career after all those tests. IT WILL NOT BE THE SAME QUESTIONS!!!! Study. Learn as much as you can. It's TIMED. You will not have time to search for answers. I don't think I want to attempt it again LOL. Also thank you for the advice!!!

[@NohemyAdorno]

Thank you for watching and for the update.

FOR ANYONE WANTING TO KNOW HOW LONG THE COURSE TAKES..... I started in mid march, and completing it now in late June. I have to say though, I did not put regular time into the program until 2 weeks ago, and within 2 weeks I completed 75% of the course. and passed my final exam.. So you can realistically complete this course in 1 to 3 weeks depending on your dedication. There is a lot of "fillier" information that is primarily irrelevant for your quizes and tests. Search for key information of each chapter, take in that information, and go back to read the "Fluff" if it isnt clicking, it will save you hours of time.

[@NohemyAdorno]

Congratulations on passing your exam. 🙌🏽

[@jazminfmartin]

It says they have a downloadable pdf is that true?

[@NohemyAdorno]

@@jazminfmartin I don't know if that's true.

@@NohemyAdorno Do you happen to know if NASM updates their final-exam material/questions? Like would the same test you took in mid 2019, still be the same test today? I am aware some of the questions might be different but I have a feeling its possible the material has been updated or revised in the last 2.5 years. Hope you can help with my question!

[@NohemyAdorno]

@@JiggaWhooo That's a great question. I honestly don't know. I'm sure the material has been updated but I don't know to what extent.

[@JiggaWhooo]

@@NohemyAdorno Just finished my content portion today. Attempting my first crack (And hopefully last) at the final exam. Send me great energy! Will update, thanks for your video!

[@NohemyAdorno]

@@JiggaWhooo Sending all positive energy your way. Good luck. I'm sure you'll go great. 😊

[@AndrewTheTransformer]

Congrats on passing your exam. I was surprised you did the FNS, I thought NASM replaced this course with the CNC? I had to do FNS because the UK based company who are part of NASM didn't have CNC. I found the exam brutal !

[@NohemyAdorno]

Thank you. 😊 Yeah. It was brutal. I think the CPT was way easier. What's the CNC?

[@AndrewTheTransformer]

@@NohemyAdorno CNC is certified nutrition coach. Here is more information - www.nasm.org/docs/pdf/nutrition-certification-toc.pdf?sfvrsn=2 I wanted to do this one as well but I am still happy with FNS. I like reading about carbon atoms, molecules, double bonds etc haha

[@NohemyAdorno]

@@AndrewTheTransformer Sorry for the late response Andrew. This last comment was in my spam folder for some reason. 😅 I might do the CNC in the future as an add on. Thanks for mentioning it. 😊

[@AndrewTheTransformer]

@@NohemyAdorno No worries, life is hectic as it is :) Let me know how you get on once you've decided to study the CNC qualification

[@nomadicstrength]

@@AndrewTheTransformer Hey man, question. Do you know if the CNC is another specialization course? I just finished my FNS and wanted to dig deeper. Is the CNC all online or is there a in person text like NASM CPT? Thanks.

Good luck with your studies. I'm sure you are going to do great. 😉

[@kianamcnulty8288]

Thank you so much for this video it helps a lot! You mentioned we get three different attempts at the test, do you have to pay for each attempt?

[@NohemyAdorno]

No you do not.

[@fabulouswomenpray]

Thank you

[@NohemyAdorno]

You’re welcome 😊

[@JiggyJeffsLife]

Thank you this really helps. Are the questions all multiple choice?

[@NohemyAdorno]

I'm glad that you found this helpful. 😊 Thank for watching. Yes. The exam was multiple choice.

[@JiggyJeffsLife]

Nohemy Adorno ok that u so much nohemy (love your name btw). I’m still In the process of finishing all the courses but I’ll be sure to let u know not “if” but when ! I pass the exam 🙂.

[@NohemyAdorno]

@@JiggyJeffsLife Thank you. 😊 Yass!!! WHEN you pass the exam. 🙌🏽 You've got this. 💪🏽 I look forward to hearing from you.

[@mariovassall1385]

Do you feel equipped to give other nutritional guidance and help them transform their physique?

[@NohemyAdorno]

Yes I do. All within my scope of practice. I make it very clear to my clients that I am not a nutritionist. 😊

[@JiggyJeffsLife]

So I have a question. I realized that the NASM CPT says that’s it’s an accredited course but the Nutrition one (which is the one I’m studying for) is not. How does that effect things moving forward after passing the course?

[@NohemyAdorno]

I wasn't aware that the course wasn't accredited. It accounted for CEUs and fulfilled the requirement of renewing my personal trainer recertification.

[@JiggyJeffsLife]

Nohemy Adorno ok cool cool thank you

[@aprilshrinks5478]

Did you mean to say food label or supplement label? I can only find 5 requirements for the supplement label

[@eldauchiha6264]

This does not come with a textbook right? You must study online?

[@NohemyAdorno]

Yes. Everything is online. Including the textbook. 😊

[@eldauchiha6264]

Got it, thank you 😊

[@tamekiaellis3394]

Hey how are you? How long did it take you to study all the information? I’m about to start studying and take my and was hoping I could finish this year.

[@NohemyAdorno]

Hi Tamekia! That's a great question. It took me about 4 months. I wish you the best in your studies.

[@JiggaWhooo]

Not sure if you ever started, I started in mid march, and completing it now in late June. I have to say though, I did not put regular time into the program until 2 weeks ago, and within 2 weeks I completed 75% of the course... So you can realstically complete this course in 1 to 2 weeks depending on your dedication. I am about to take my final exam as soon as I publish this comment.

[@GalvaHughes]

I just passed my NASM CPT exam and have the nutrition certificate program next. Did you take the CPT course and exam and, if so, did you find the nutrition exam to be easier or harder?

[@NohemyAdorno]

Congratulations!!! 🎉 Yes. I found the nutrition course and exam much harder than the CPT. I would double down on your studying for the nutrition portion.

[@chaserohwedder1366]

Any key points or Chapters I need to really focus on for the exam.... need help plz

[@NohemyAdorno]

No. Everything I covered in this video, is what I came across on the exam. I'm sure you're going to do great. Good luck. 👍🏽

[@christinaarguello9517]

Is the test an open book test?

[@NohemyAdorno]

Yes. 😊

[@sanyampandit]

Is the exam free of cost after purchasing the course or is there a fee for appearing it????

[@NohemyAdorno]

This is a great question. The exam was included with the course. I didn't have to pay an additional fees.

[@Fabalexis4]

so were there any vocabulary words?

[@NohemyAdorno]

Yes! There were vocabulary words in each chapter of the ebook. I made flash cards to review them.

[@Gaycomic]

How many questions

[@kelseyriecke9997]

Did you take the practice exam? Are they same questions? I’ve taken the practice exam three times

[@NohemyAdorno]

Yes I did. The questions were similar.

[@kelseyriecke9997]

Just took the exam today and I passed! The you!

[@NohemyAdorno]

@@kelseyriecke9997 Congratulations!!! 🎉

[@gonz198211]

Did you need to memorize for example, the grams per kg for protein etc for calculations or did they always give it to you in the question?

[@NohemyAdorno]

Great question. I don't recall questions like that. But I think it would be best to memorize just in case.

[@UnleashYourPrime]

This exam is so hard. I got 60

[@NohemyAdorno]

Agreed. It was really difficult.

[@The_Freedom_Fit]

Do you have to show proof of education?

[@NohemyAdorno]

No. The system that NASM uses tracks your progress as you study and go thru the course. Even when you take the final exam. Give it 24 hours to register that you took the final exam. You don't have to show proof of education. Only when you go to re-certify you do have to show proof of having received your CPR and AED certification.

[@The_Freedom_Fit]

@@NohemyAdorno Thank you

[@tigerthai760]

Is the final exam taken online?

[@NohemyAdorno]

Yes. The final exam is taken online. 😊
