HOW TO PASS YOUR ACE PERSONAL TRAINING EXAM! | TRAINING TIPS TUESDAY |

Hello friends! I hope you guys find this video helpful! If you've followed the course up to this point I'm sure you'll do great! You DO NOT need to memorize everything in the book, however there are some main ideas to focus on!
I forgot to specifically talk about the calculations, IFT Model, and RPE. They hit those pretty hard in the book so I assumed those were a no brainer but make sure you know those!
1. As long as you're familiar w/ the formula sheet they provide and know how to calculate BMI, 1RM, and macronutrients you should be fine!
2. Know the difference between VT1 and VT2 and what happens in each zone (ex.OBLA)
3. Know the RPE scales! Not necessarily the exact meaning for each number, but the general ranges for talk test and types of exercises.
4. The only charts I needed know the exact numbers from was the water intake, macronutrients, BMI scale, Health Risk Appraisal, and IFT model (going along with how to progress and regress someone).

Kelly's advice is spot on. I watched before taking the course and passed it this week. READ THE BOOK! You'll do fine.

[@kellyyager1]

Mykl Qullen aw yay!! I’m glad it helped!!!

[@smmaistheway]

How long does it take to get the certification?

[@carahowell874]

How much of actually knowing the anatomy of the body is on it?

[@kdel3694]

I don’t have faith. I don’t think I’ll pass.

[@jackgoff5108]

I’ve read the book, watched the videos and done the assessments u think I’ll be good or should I do further research

[@fitmomwifelife9327]

Congrats on being certified! It’s been a goal of mine for several years, and you’ve just given my the confidence to make it a reality!! Thanks!

[@kellyyager1]

FitMomWifeLife aw thank you!! And yay!! That’s awesome you totally should!!

[@joebrown7797]

Just received my ACE study materials this week and I'm very glad that I watched this video as I believe it will be a great asset in helping me to plan how to study. Thanks!

[@christophermyron978]

I got certified with ACE Group Fitness Instructor a few months ago. It prepared me to be a little less stressed for PT which I'm going to start studying for and this video was super helpful. Thanks!

[@Michelle-sn8ss]

This video is a literal life saver. Can't thank you enough...I'm taking my exam in 2-3 months and I feel so much better after watching this!! Couldn't push myself to retain all the info they provided on neuron composition and muscle fiber types.

[@kellyyager1]

Michelle Nugget aw yay!!! And yeah it’s stuff you can mail down later to better your understanding if everything but don’t need it for the exam!!

[@TheBrockwayBabe]

Thank you for your in depth explanation of your studies and your exam. as someone who has spent countless hours in the gym over the years this video is a great reminder of how much hard work and understanding goes into being certified, congrats again on your certification.

[@kellyyager1]

Brockway Babe thank you so much!! And I was reminded the same thing when I started studying! It blew my mind how much information I needed to know lol

[@THRIVEAFFIRMATIONS]

Kelly, I watched your video (this one) about more than 7 times. I want it to share that I passed my exam. Thanks for all this advice!

[@baileymaguire4085]

I am currently studying for my ACE exam and found your video VERY helpful!!! Thank you so much for the detailed advice, I have been stressing so much over knowing EVERYTHING in the Essentials of Science textbook, spending hours and hours making flashcards, writing up summaries, cutting out diagrams and charts, etc. etc. even after already having a pretty good foundational knowledge about human anatomy and kinesiology. I have felt like I have needed to essentially MEMORIZE this stuff because I have heard mixed reviews about the exam so far so thank you for listing what IS important and what ISN'T! VERY helpful :)

[@kellyyager1]

Aw yay!! I'm so glad you found this helpful!! You're going to crush it!!:)

[@maryharper2347]

Thank you so much for this! I just started this certification and was 100% overwhelmed and though I bit off more than I could chew. This has given me a huge sign of relief that I'm going to be okay.

[@chandler_short]

Definitely feeling super unprepared for this exam since I've followed this course to a T like you said and have STILL FAILED all my online quizzes (not a great test taker) but thank you for your honest feedback/recommendations! I feel a lot better about what to focus on before the exam etc!

[@eliaesparzamusic]

SO HELPFUL! Thanks girl!

[@The513Warning]

I'm preparing to take my test here soon. I have my degree in Applied Science, so I've got a leg up, but man, some of those questions are random as hell (like the formulas). But it's either continuing to work these shitty jobs or breaking free and perusing my dreams.

[@kellyyager1]

Katie Sherry aw of course!! Good luck with everything girl!!

[@joshernisse1037]

Thank you for this video! I think its frustrating over the amount of time I have spent over the exercise science book and not on the rest of the materials. Obviously they would not provide you a book that is not relevant, but at the end of the day if it is not on the exam, It would have been nice from the get go ACE would integrated the absolute essential knowledge required into their online course to minimize stress and confusion. Thanks again for the video!

Great video, really informative. Hope to be cpt, weightlifting/fitness is my passion

[@mrsdragonite]

Phew! Having a background in fitness I finally decided it was time to pursue a career! I had managed health food stores in the past and was certified through the gyms I worked at (their little clinic certifications). I too, didn't pass my practice exam (like 17 out of 30?) but it was mainly terms I wasn't familiar with and some illnesses or diseases I never had personal expertise in. I feel a lot of it was centered around liability issues and doctors clearances. I'm particularly worried as I have issues with cognitive focus and concentration. I hope my medications come though or it's nootropics for me!!

[@bjjliteracy]

great tips. Thank you.

[@sarahowe4166]

So glad I found this video. I am taking the exam in May & that small book has been stressing me out. Will set it aside after the nutrition chapter and just focus on the main book!! thank you!! saving this video to watch again!

[@kevinwilliams6991]

Did you pass? Was this helpful? I am taking mine in November

[@sarahowe4166]

Kevin Williams yes! It was super helpful! I passed! The exam was easier than I expected based on how much material it is. Really understand building rapport with your clients & the stages of learning & know the reps/etc for whatever your client is trying to achieve (ie muscle hypertrophy vs muscular endurance etc) know how to progress your clients, know the basics of nutrition how to read a label etc, they also show videos and ask how you would modify the client based on their form etc Hope that helps! Good luck!

[@yafreaka]

Thank you so much for this video!! Taking the exam tomorrow. Wish me luck!

[@yafreaka]

UPDATE!!! I passed today with a score of 632. Thank you so much for this video! I also purchased the entire package and followed it to a T, then at the last minute, I came across this video.
