Effective NASM Study Strategies
Based on my extensive discussions with my students who have taken the NASM CPT exam, we have found the following tips and strategies to be most effective when it comes to making sure you pass your exam.
- Practice Tests: Take practice tests. They not only help in identifying weak areas but also train you to read each question carefully. Be sure to focus on understanding the questions and not just memorizing them.
- Vocabulary and Concepts: Focus on vocabulary concepts, reading chapter reviews, taking quizzes, and practice tests.
- OPT Model: It’s vital that you have a comprehensive understanding of the OPT model, muscle imbalances, SMART goals, assessments, and energy systems. They also suggested taking the practice test multiple times and aiming for a consistent 80% pass rate before taking the actual test.
- Take advantage of NASM Cheat Sheets
- Purchase third-party study materials: consider third-party materials like Trainer Academy’s NASM CPT MVP Prep Course.

- Know your cues and categories: Be sure you really know the cues and categories for each exercise. These are an absolute must.
- Master the OPT Model: The OPT model is king when it comes to the NASM exam. Know it inside and out.
- Trust your gut: By the time you’re sitting for the exam, you should be very well-prepared and confident in your answers. Don’t second guess yourself, you don’t have time and you’re not likely to improve your answer if you do so.
- Answer known questions first: You have a limited time to answer each question, so be sure to answer the questions you know first period at the end you can go back through and mop up any of the questions that you breezed over the first time around.

How to Pass the NASM Certification Exam
On top of completing the training courses, I have some general tips for taking the NASM exam.
Read Every Single Question and Answer
One of the biggest reasons people miss 3 to 5 questions on the test is that they do not read over the entire question or all possible answers before making their decision.
This is very important. Read over the full question. Then read over every single possible answer. Think about all of the possibilities, and then make your final decision.
The wording on the NASM can be very tricky. In fact, at times, it feels like they are purposely trying to mislead you at the beginning of the question. The only way around this is to read out the questions completely.
Pay Attention to Specific Words for Questions Related to Exercises
The next NASM CPT exam tip for you guys is to pay attention to certain keywords related to specific exercise questions and the OPT training model.
Big tip 1: Any time that you see the words Bosu ball, stability ball, or one leg, the majority of the time, that answer will apply to the stability phase of the OPT training model.
Big tip 2: Any time you see jumping exercises or exercises involving a medicine ball, they typically apply to the reactive/power phase of the OPT training model.
Remember to learn exercise techniques and behavior change
You need to learn the exercise and spotting techniques to reduce the risk of injury when training with weights. Implementing progressive overload and training practices is also a must.
Consider the anatomy and injury history variation in your client’s data. An exam study guide is another great way to get sample questions. NASM is no joke, so prepare before your CPT examination.
Another category is behavioral change. For example, SMART goal development, active listening, and assisting with tough changes like food choice.

NASM Practice Test Success Stories
Before you head out, I want to mention a few success stories from my students and trainers who crushed the NASM exam.
One of my students, Linda, passed the NASM exam on her first try in less than 2 months using the Trainer Academy NASM CPT Study System. She found the spaced repetition flashcards exceptionally helpful for speeding up her studying time.
Another student, Daryl, failed the NASM exam twice before finally trying a third-party study system. The massive number of practice questions helped him overcome his test anxiety; he took many Trainer Academy NASM practice tests and passed on his next attempt.
I should mention that I have other students who just used the standard NASM study program that comes with the basic program and passed on the first attempt.
Your study strengths, needs, and prior knowledge of human anatomy and training methods determine which study system makes the most sense.
On a final note, remember the requirements to sit for the exam are CPR and AED certification card and GED or high school diploma. When you go to the PSI testing center, the test format is multiple choice via computer, split into two sections.
Candidates have to turn in their devices when entering the testing area. You will also need a government ID card as well.
