I took it in 1995 but I bet it's changed...I plan to take it again within the next 2 months.

well it was far from what i expected. The test took 2 hours and was very hard. There were 300 questions and most of them was like a paragraph of info and then at the end you had to specify if ALL of the given info was true or false, so i had to go back and re-read it all. Well now that i think about it, it wasn't so much hard as it was long and tedious but I passed and it feels great to be certified!

im looking into studying for the NFPT certification...ordering it next week...


how long did u study from day 1 till the exam....? jus wondering

I did the 3 specialists and got the master level. I thought they were pretty tough--there is some repetative material in each of the exams so that helps. I was really surprised I passed the nutrion one, I thought it was the hardest. There is alot of answers that are so similar you really do need to reread and focus. I also have an AFAA cert (primary/group exercise) so that helped.

Good Luck!

did you do it all at once or did you break it up. The masters was my next move but dont know if taking all three at once will be overwhelming

[icklyd]

No, I broke them up, about six months between the first then I scheduled the next two a month apart. I think it would have been overwhelming to do them all at once. Thats mostly why I chose to do NFPT. I also thought I'd get alot more out of it with individual exams (which I did). AFAA was a little of this a little that. I think I'm going to do an ASCM workshop next month and schedule that one. I used their manuals to study from too.

I didn't expect to hear that the nutrition cert was the hardest. I'm doing the masters too and going for that one next. I figured i'd just read the manual and take some notes and then take it but sounds like there may be more to it. I'll probably schedule that exam in about a month so I have plenty of time. Anyways congrats on getting your master cert!

Oh, it was probably just me-I became panicky that I wouldn't recall the difference in similar terminology like glycolosis and glycogenesis (if I'm even spelling them right now) I tend to spaz over exams anyways.

I'm sure you will ace it. Good Luck!
