NASM Exam Prep: What you NEED TO KNOW + Dangerously Efficient Study Method Explained! 

Apologize for the late response man! I don't remember off the top of my head, but I'm sure it's in the table of contents or index somewhere

Chapter 6 and 7 but just go to page 196 and memorize that chart.

@@LouBoogaloo thank you 🙏🏽

P.A. Gutierrez 4 you’re welcome. That page is literally the go to for the NASM CPT exam. A lot of questions revolve around muscle over active and under active. Reading 5,6,7, 14 and appendex E, Covers a lot of what you need to know to pass your exam. Know the basics of the opt model and what exercises go into each stage and any modifications (hoe to make them easier or harder) go with them. Example: a single leg balance is an exercise done the stabilization level of opt. Also know the overheat squat assessment and what muscles are overactive with any compromises in the squat. Page 196 for the overactive chart. Yes there’s questions about the other assessments but the overhead squat is their focus. You just want to know the basic reasons for the other assessments. Davies rest for upper body agility and coordination. shark is lower body agility and so on. Those things are the predominant questions. Study those thoroughly and the rest of the book you can just rely on the CPT study guide (part of online package once you purchase the certification course) that breaks down the test into the 6 domains. Other than that you’re golden

Thanks for watching Jordan!

I really wish he didn’t have background music going while talking. It really makes it difficult to focus on his words

@@Cheesymom2cheese Thank you for the feedback! Will be sure to lower it in future videos

bro how did your exam go? any news yet??

I failed it too by a few points but I'm getting back in the study mode, did you pass it yet?

Dude came so close to doing this no lie. But it's actually very interesting stuff huh?

The quizlet flashcards are in the description 👍🏻

Ricco Phinisee Workouts Focus on understanding the rep/set schemes and rest times for each phase 👍🏽 You don’t need to memorize the whole chart and all the exercises.

Happy it helped! How did it go??

@@nickwholesome PASSED ! One try :) Thank you so much

Take a deep breath bro! If you have only two weeks and are able to put aside 3-4 concentrated hours a day. Maybe even a little less, you can crush it. Focus on the main things I talked about in the video and be sure to start taking those practice exams 4-5ish days out and marking the questions you get wrong. That will help you know what sections you need to revisit. Also, many of the questions are almost the exact same, just worded different. You got this shit! Lmk how it goes and stay driven brotha.

Yes! Very similar, just worded slightly differently in my experience. There are also going to be a few questions you've most likely never seen before as well, but not much you can do to prepare for those unfortunately haha

Unfortunately you just have to memorize and study!

Apologize for the late reply! How'd it go?!

Yes!

Yes, they require you to bring the CPR/AED Cert!

What's up man! I'm a senior in college as well. What I do that works incredibly well is a concept I learned from a book called "The One Thing" (Highly recommend) and Darren Hardy. Remove literally all distractions possible for 60-90 minutes (phone on airplane mode), set a timer on your phone and do not get up until the time's up. It will take about 20 minutes to get into a flow state without the distractions and then you'll start to see some serious focus power come into play!

@@nickwholesome Thank you so much man, I'll definetly try that! It's just super hard to stay motivated and focused sometimes, so Ill start that today and get moving on it. Thanks!

@@PwnageByAwesome Let me know how it works for you!

@@nickwholesome Hey man, I had alittle more time than a week, but I studied like crazy and blew through the whole thing in like a half hour and passed on the first try! Your tips for sure helped though, keep doing what you're doing brother.
