ACE Certified Personal Trainer Exam Prep: Study Guide that highlights the key concepts required to pass the American Council on Exercise exam to Become a Certified Personal Trainer

I recently finished my ace personal trainer study program. I purchased this book, and it came with audio also, it was one of my only study tools that I used to pass my certification test and it helped tremendously. I passed my certification test on the first try. This book condensed all of the important stuff that you really needed to know for your test I would recommend it to anyone who is going through that ACE personal trainer study program.

I love how the study guide is so detailed in its content. It’s like you could envision yourself training someone simultaneously learning the information. The only downfall I see is no pictures for certain content, however, the guide does include references for graphics. Overall, I think this product can tremendously help a future exercise professional.

I just passed the ACE Certified Personal Trainer exam last week and this book played a major part in my passing score. It is easy to read, and condenses most all of the information from the PT manual and Exercise Science book into one place. This study guide also has a practice test at the end that is VERY similar to the real exam. I definitely recommend getting this book to accompany the ACE materials.

I got this to supplement my notes, plus it has a sample test in back. The info is mostly good, although there are enough obvious errors (like time being presented as "seconds minutes"--which is it?) to make me nervous. Nobody copy edited this, and the sentence-level errors and egregious typos (V02? VO^2?) are truly distracting, as is the eccentric typography and the tendency to use undefined acronyms that I guess we are just supposed to know. On the upside, the book provides URLs with valuable extra info, and it puts like info together usefully. Overall, this is like reading some guy's terribly written class notes: most of the time you're nodding along, but all too often you're going, "wait, what?" and checking it against the book.

This is a great study tool, it does a great job of outlining the ACE chapters but don’t expect to use this in lieu of reading your materials! There is also a fabulous facegroup book that goes along with this study guide that is incredibly helpful!I would use this to review for the weeks/days prior to your exam

I used this Exam Prep toward the end of my studies. It really helped me narrow down the areas where I need more studying! Easy format and easy to follow along with. It is not a replacement for the ACE Persoal Trainer Manual, but a good accessory to it! I believe it helped my pass my CPT test on the first try!

Got this 2 weeks before my CPT test and it helped me SO MUCH! It gives you the important points from each chapter and a practice test at the end. I credit this book with helping me pass the test two weeks later on the first try!

There are a few different exam guides on the market. This is the one to buy!! Some of the others cover info that isn't even in the two main textbooks, which can be misleading. Furthermore, I took a quiz through one of the 'other' guides. I was looking to see why I got a question wrong, and they were using the wrong formula for MHR!!!!!! Stick with this guide and you should do just fine on the test.
