Review

"There is no better review than this one for preparing for ACSM's certification exams. It is authored by the same experts who create the examinations. It is comprehensive, yet specific to each exam. I would recommend this review both for those taking the exam for the first time and for those taking it to renew certification."

I used this to study for my CPT exam, and there are a few things I noticed in the other reviews that I feel the need to correct.

This book does NOT contain most of the information you need. It contains a list of REFERENCES TO information you need to know. (Pointers, for your programmers.) You will need to buy (or have existing knowledge of the information from) the following books for the CPT exam:

1. ACSM's Resources for the Personal Trainer - This book goes over the basics of exercise physiology and some testing methods. If you are not currently studying or have not studied Exercise Science (or the equivalent), this is a must-have.
2. ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription - This book details the steps and information necessary to understand exercise testing and prescription. I personally studied the most from this book, since my Ex Sci coursework from college only briefly touched upon this material.
3. ACSM's Health-Related Physical Fitness Assessment Manual - This book contains several extremely valuable testing methods, as well as the largest collection of norm charts out of any other ACSM publication (including blood testing norms, which come up a LOT in the CPT exam).
