I purchased the NASM CPT program and I passed the exam in two months!! I’m a college grad and I thought I could read the text on my own and pass the test using other methods. I read all the text and a year later I still couldn’t pass a practice test. There is too much information to sift through. Fitness Mentors was instrumental in my certification. When taking the exam remember 20 questions are experimental and can throw you for a loop. Don’t let them shake your confidence. MANY of the questions Fitness Mentors said were on the test are really on the test. I wished I had used them a year ago.
