The National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) is a prominent factor in personal training certification in the United States—and around the world. We have persisted in strengthening our global ties by giving our foreign partners access to the same cutting-edge resources that have proven so effective in the US.

Offering our worldwide personal trainers career alternatives that position them as leaders in the health and wellness business, is undoubtedly the gold standard in the professional fitness certification industry.

Why You Should Obtain A NASM Certification

Becoming certified as a NASM has numerous advantages, such as these: 

Being a professional with the esteemed NASM certification is one advantage. Possessing a certification from this reputable and well-known organization will help you achieve your professional objectives in the health and wellness sector. 

A certification sets the fundamental competencies and certifications you'll need going forward, preparing you for a variety of career options. Fitness trainers are very mobile in their careers, and holding a NASM certification may facilitate transitions into other roles with higher potential for advancement and salary. For example, in corporate group exercise classes, employers outside the fitness business occasionally employ certified trainers. 

The NASM certification gives you the credentials you need to look for independent work as a fitness instructor or even as a gym owner. Establish your own schedule, offer the services you desire, and create your own workout plans. Building your clientele is much simpler when you have the support of an association such as NASM. 

One of the most well-known certification bodies for trainers is NASM. Potential employers and clients will probably acknowledge your credentials as proof of your industry knowledge and skills, as well as your NASM accreditation. The company offers CEU classes as well. These courses aid in the expansion of trainers' expertise and skill sets.

What Our NASM Practice Test Includes

Let’s take an overview of our practice examination. 

Overall, when it comes to the homepage of our website, what catches your eyes, at first sight, are two main sections: “Practice NASM Test By Topics” and “Take Full NASM Practice Test”. To meet the learners’ needs, the former functions as learning materials that are categorized into different topics or domains covering nearly NASM knowledge for practice. The latter mimics the real exam to check learners’ outcomes and create a chance for a mock test before taking the real one. 

Practice NASM Test By Topics

The NASM practice test is split into 6 main sections that cover several core areas:

  • Domain 1: Assessment: You will be required to complete tasks like choosing, carrying out, interpreting, and recording assessment outcomes throughout this section of the test. Along with strength, muscular endurance, and power assessments, speed, agility, and quickness assessments, cardiorespiratory assessments, and physiological assessments, you will also be required to choose, execute, record, and analyze the findings of static postural exams and movement evaluations. You'll also be evaluated on your knowledge and methods for assessing your body composition. The Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire, risk factors, lifestyle influences, cardiorespiratory and physiological assessment, kinetic chain checkpoints, body composition, performance, movement, body composition calculations, assessment and outcome standards, client condition indicators, and assessment criteria are all covered in the knowledge assessment that you will also be completed in this section.
  • Domain 2: Basic and Applied sciences and nutritional concepts: Examines the skeletal, muscular, neurological, cardiorespiratory, and endocrine systems' structures as well as the human anatomy as a whole. Covers all bodily systems and functional biomechanics, as well as the several subcategories of exercise physiology. Furthermore, this section of the test evaluates human movement science, motor development, macro- and micronutrients, hydration, energy measurement, calorie intake and expenditure, dietary reference intakes, portion sizes, diet types, common supplements, supplement label review, and factors and considerations related to weight management. 
  • Domain 3: Client relations and behavioral coaching: This section will cover tasks that will help you create and improve a positive client-certified personal trainer (CPT) relationship, assess your short- and long-term goals, and encourage lifestyle change through communication, education, and monitoring. Your knowledge in the following areas is also assessed in this section: behavioral change, psychological reactions, goal formation, goal management, communication, behavior change barriers, and expectation management.
  • Domain 4: Exercise technique and training instruction: Review information on proper form and setup for resistance training, speed/agility/quickness (SAQ), plyometrics, core exercises, balancing exercises, warm-ups, and cool-downs. Review information on proper form and setup for resistance training, speed/agility/quickness (SAQ), plyometrics, core exercises, balancing exercises, warm-ups, and cool-downs. A review of ideas related to kinesthetics, safe training, exercise regressions and progressions, spotting techniques, appropriate breathing, kinetic chain checkpoints, unfavorable indications, and symptom detection is also included.
  • Domain 5: Professional development and responsibility: You will be required to finish assignments in this section that pertain to emergency response strategies, business development, professional standards, and the CPT area of practice. Additionally, this section of the exam assesses your understanding of CPT rules and regulations, professional and ethical guidelines, business fundamentals, marketing, sales, equipment maintenance, professional limitations, maintaining professional credentials, and opportunities for professional growth.
  • Domain 6: Program design: You will be required to execute exercises in this area that pertain to cardiorespiratory training, core training, balance training, weight training, plyometrics, flexibility, and speed, agility, and quickness (SAQ) training. Additionally, you will create and implement program adjustments based on variables including time, space, client capabilities, and existing circumstances. Your understanding in several areas, such as flexibility, weight training and systems, cardiorespiratory training, core training, balance training, proprioceptive manipulation, plyometric techniques, and so on, will also be reviewed throughout this segment.

Each domain includes a combination of practice questions. The series of questions are divided into 7 levels and 2 tests, divided into 2 stages. Stage 1 includes the first 3 levels and a mini-test. Stage 2 includes the remaining levels and a final test. Each level includes 10 multiple-choice questions. The mini-test consists of approximately 30 questions covering knowledge of the whole first stage. The final test normally includes roughly 70 questions covering knowledge of the whole topic. 

Remember! Our results recording system will notify you of the results you have achieved after your first attempt, for example, 6/10. However, you must answer all questions correctly to be allowed to move to the next level. Hence, you are allowed to do it again more than once and the false questions will automatically return until you correct all of them. Of course, if you are confident in any topic, you can skip levels and move to the mini-test or the final test immediately. You are considered to have passed the exams if your score is 70% or higher. 

An extremely appreciated feature of our website is that after each question in the practice section, learners will immediately know whether their results are correct or incorrect. Furthermore, there will be an extremely detailed explanation for the question, which is right below the question section.

Take the Full NASM Practice Test

After practicing proficiently in the practice section introduced above, learners can choose a "full test" to check their current level. The NASM mimics the real exam format.

The test includes 120 multiple-choice questions within 2 hours. Contestants will take the test within the allotted time frame. The test is passed when the test taker answers 70% or more of the total questions correctly. It means that you are allowed to make a maximum of 36 mistakes in total. So, be careful with each question in the test. The clock placed right above the question section helps test takers be proactive in managing their exam time. 

An outstanding feature is that test takers will not immediately know the results of each question in this part like in the practice one. After completing all the questions and receiving the final results, test takers will have the opportunity to review all the questions to see which ones they got right and which ones they got wrong. Detailed explanations for the answers are also attached right below each question. This helps test takers review knowledge more deeply and gain experience for the next test, especially in the real exam.

For convenience of use, we also released a mobile version of the application. Operations in the phone application remain the same as on the website. The only difference is that after completing the questions, you must click “Submit” to receive the final results of the test.

Practicing before taking any exam is extremely necessary. Finding a reputable and effective learning source is even more important. Each choice you make can determine success or failure. Trust me! The NASM practice exam will accompany you on the path to passing the NASM.
