NASM Personal Training Certification Test Tomorrow!

March 24, 2014 by Amanda R DeWitt

I am freaking out! Not for lack of studying (although there was a bit of procrastination on my part), but just because taking a big test like this that I have told EVERYONE about is a little stressful. I am scheduled to take the NASM personal training certification test tomorrow at 1:30pm…eek! How did this day come so quickly??

NASM STUDY

I really appreciate everyone’s support and encouragement!! I can’t tell you how much it’s pushed me to move forward and work harder when the amount of work I had ahead of me really seemed impossible.

Thanks again to the lovely guest posters I’ve had on the blog the last couple of weeks:

Finding a Balance with Healthy Eating via Alex from Alex Runs for Food (<–includes two recipes!)

6 Essential Items for Home Workouts via Sarah from Slices of Sarah Pie

St Patrick’s Day Chocolate-Mint Mug Cookie via Becky from Olives n Wine

Thin Mint Cookie Bar Recipe via Krista from Tiny n Fit

Be sure to head over and give these lovely ladies some love if you haven’t already!!

 

Wish me luck and/or pray that all of the things I have learned in the last couple of months will stick!! 🙂

 

use this one amanda

 

Tell me…

Something good! How was your weekend? When was the last time you overcame a challenge?

    You are going to rock this test!!!!! I know exactly how you are feeling!! Taking my nclex was the scariest thing ever at the end of January. After my test I was pretty much 100% certain I failed!!! But I didn’t 🙂 and your not going to either!!! We shall celebrate after you pass!

      That makes me feel a lot better! With the NASM 75% make it on the first try, but I was reading a forum and this guy thought he had it but failed. I’m just being a little paranoid haha.

      We should definitely celebrate!! 🙂

    Best of luck! Remember to try to eat something right before the test and bring water in, if you can. I did both and it helped my concentration. I also went with my gut on a lot of questions, but also flagged so many (over 20) and then went back to those and remembered some of the answers. Can’t wait to hear more about it!

      This was so helpful!! I did eat right before and brought water (but they didn’t let me take it in haha)
