Can anyone help me with revising for my PT diploma?

[MartinRoberts]

I’m due to take my ‘advanced anatomy and physiology level 3 nvq’ exam for the second time in a couple of weeks, I failed miserably the first time as I was given a load of questions about stuff I’d never even heard of before. I’m aiming to be a Personal Trainer, not a Physician or BioMedical Engineer and so most of the content caught me completely off guard, that and I was never told what to expect question-wise.

Has anyone else done this course (Level 3 Personal Training diploma) who could help direct me to where I can find the best source for revision? I’ve tried searching on Google but it’s only giving me websites about taking or starting the course, nothing about the content or what to revise for the final exam. Can anyone help me?

The main problem I have is with names, and knowing what gland/nerve does what. I know what a specific nerve/gland does, it's use, what affects it, what occurs when it stops functioning correctly, what needs to be taken or consumed to keep it functioning correctly etc but if you ask me what ******* does there's a good chance I won't be able to tell you anything about it whereas if you point to a gland on an anatomical map I'll be able to tell you everything about it, problem is the exam's all text based.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
