It was a bitch. I took anatomy and phys in college before I took it. It has been years ago that I took the test though. Brush up on your anatomy. I would suggest taking an anatomy & phys class at your local college before taking. I am not saying it is impossible to pass it without the class, but you will learn a lot and it will make the test that much easier.

Good Luck with your PT test,,, I loved training people,,, too bad it does not pay the bills that well,,, or at least in my small town.. You will have a ton of fun being a PT. Most fun I have ever had at a job.

i took it about 3 years ago, if you are pretty up to date on exercise and stuff you should be ok sturying the manual......i read the manual twice and passed..........don't get me wrong it is a bitch........................good luck and yes you will love training people, i love it to death

im ACE certifed. the test is hard, but not that hard if you study.

all i did was read the book twice....................keep in mind that in the back of the book it gives you a complete breakdown of hoiw many q's from each section will be on the test, if i remember correctly, the majority comes from assessing clients............i only read it twice but i also always read any material about health and fitness i can get my hands on, so i'm sure that helped...............another thing, don't rely on the practice test you can get from them...............it's way too easy..................

On a side note, has anybody ever taken the ACE Aerobics Instructor test? I need to in Jan and am wondering if I wanna study for it seriously or just lightly.

(and for anyone who's about to make a Richard Simmons crack, ask yourself if YOU'VE ever had a room of 70 college girls do spread-leg situps at your command. thought so. now shut up.)
