More NASM Practice Tests
The NASM practice test on this page only includes 50 questions and
answers.
If you want to get a full grasp of all of the possible questions that can be
asked on the exam, I suggest picking up additional practice tests as well.
These are incredibly important because they let you know if you are fully
prepared to take the final exam.
They also include answer explanations, which is great for learning the
details of each item.
I know tons of students I have failed to ask me why. The biggest reason is
that they did not take enough practice exams to gauge whether they were
prepared.
I suggest the Trainer Academy practice tests as they let you know which
chapters/domains you are doing well or badly in, and they have over 800
questions in total.
If you have test anxiety, then taking plenty of practice exams, even
thousands of questions, will increase your percentage chance of passing.
NASM Additional Study Materials
Using smart flashcards or spaced repetition flashcards to practice for the
NASM exam is one of the biggest tips and study strategies I have for my
students that are studying for NASM.
Spaced repetition flashcards are flashcards that use an algorithm to show
you the most important cards.
That system works like this: The intelligent flashcards learn which cards
are difficult for you and which cards are hard for you to memorize. It will
then repeatedly show you the difficult cards until they become easier and
easier. On the other hand, easy cards will be shown less and less because
you already have them memorized.
Flashcards are great for learning the very difficult to remember topics
about the body, such as blood components and function, glycolysis,
energy systems, and more.
I found them very helpful when memorizing muscles in the body, such as
those in the arms, hands, chest, legs, shoulders, hips, and feet. These are
important knowledge points when working with resistance training skills
and weights.
It was a big challenge for me learning each muscle’s position and their
movements.
This is a huge time saver overall and will dramatically decrease the
overall study time for the NASM exam.
NASM Memorization Mnemonics
Fun, interesting, and memorable mnemonics are among the other great
NASM study tips I have for my students.
Memorizing difficult topics, such as the overhead squat assessment, can
be extremely tiresome and difficult.
Creating interesting and fun mnemonics is the best way to memorize
these difficult concepts. It is especially very helpful for the underactive
and overactive muscles of the postural assessments, such as the gluteus
medius or latissimus dorsi.
Mnemonics help learn topics such as the heart, supplements, planes of
motion, and OPT integrated training program components.
If you will create these mnemonics yourselves, try to make them as weird
as you possibly can. The weirder, the better!
If you want a NASM pass guarantee, check out the team over at Trainer
Academy.
They offer study material such as a fantastic study guide, five full practice
tests, spaced repetition flashcards study, study mnemonics, muscle
coloring books, study blueprints, and study cheat sheets. This makes
your life way easier and is a big step towards passing the NASM exam.
