Hey everybody, Thank you so much for the in-depth responses!
Zack: To be honest, there's not one type of question that really stood out to me as being difficult. Overall, I do realize that the test was difficult as I wasn't 100% sure on a lot of the answers I was putting down.
Janne: I will definitely check out the pocket prep application. In fact, I just purchased the practice test from them right now. I have also heard people on other forums talking about how this helped them. Must be good stuff! I made sure that the overhead squad assessment was a big part of my studying before, but even then, I feel like I was still having difficulty memorizing the overactive and underactive muscles. I will make sure to go back and revise this.
Anna: I do agree with you that I should definitely make sure I spend more time rereading the questions and answers before making my final decision. I am sure that I might have missed maybe three or four because I did not use this technique. They could have been all of the difference in passing or failing! Thanks for the tips
So far, I have the pocket prep app, the textbook and I am creating flashcards for the more difficult topics.
I have also been using the free study guide here:
FREE NASM Practice Test + NASM Study Guide + Flashcards for 2019
The owner of this website highly recommends using what are called spaced repetition flashcards. I might try this as well.
Well, I guess I just need to study harder this time around. Hopefully, I won't have as difficult of time on the test next time. Thanks for all of your input
