Like others have said very cool stuff congrats! I am no where close to getting my ces but I plan on trying here in the next few months.

Thanks everyone. It does feel great. If you can see the pattern in the OPT model the CES training has a similar pattern you follow. In the CES test you will need to know eccentric muscle actions and the way they question you, you really need to stop and read the question to truly get what they are asking you. Not to mention they will give you a question where several answers look correct but they are always looking for the muscle that first shows up in the over active or under active lists. Sometimes is will the the 3rd or 4th muscle listed that is the correct answer. Sometimes you need to go with what it simply can't be to find the right answer. Both are open book tests and they don't jump around the book it goes pretty much in order but using the chapter with the muscles and their actions ready at all times will save you searching.

I'm starting my FNS class now then on to PES

It is not, but you can take the test a total of 3 times, and it doesn't change.

I know this is an old post, BUT- I am studying for the CES, then I play to study for the PES. Any recommendations on the best way to prepare? I heard that all 3 of the tests are identical, and do not change. That almost does not seem right. any thoughts are welcomed.

Anyone ever try Fitness Mentors Study Guide for the NASM CES? It seems legit. I used their study guide for the NASM CPT and it made it super easy.

[msk79]

Did the practice exam help?

Why would you post this, Eddie from Fitness Mentors? - that's pretty sneaky, I must say.

[benzenmountain]

Hey! Do the questions really not change from exam to exam????

[benzenmountain]

Hey! Is it true that all the questions on the exam are the same each time you take it? Thanks

[bmichaelhill]

So if someone has to retake the NASM CES Exam... Will the test be the exact same as the first?

[bmichaelhill]

Is the NASM CES Exam the same exact questions as the first try?
