Frequently Asked Questions

Can I really pass the NASM CPT exam by focusing on just six chapters?

Yes, if you choose the right ones. NASM heavily weights specific domains—such as Fitness Assessments (like the Overhead Squat Assessment) and the OPT™ Model. If you master these high-yield areas, you can easily secure a passing score. The "Must-Know" Core Bundle ($39) isolates these critical chapters so you can study with maximum efficiency.

What is the difference between the $9, $39, and $69 options?

  • The $9 Cheat Sheet Book is a quick-reference "CliffNotes" style guide containing definitions, concepts and the completed assessment charts. It’s built for passive reading and last-minute cramming.

  • The $39 Core Bundle gives you deep-dive outlines, worksheets, and quizzes for the 6 highest-weighted chapters on the exam.

  • The $69 Ultimate Pass Guide is the complete 23-chapter companion system to the YouTube channel and includes 5 full-length, 100-question practice exams to perfectly simulate test day.

Is the NASM textbook still necessary?

The textbook is an incredible reference tool for your actual training career, but trying to memorize all 23 chapters cover-to-cover for the test usually leads to information overload. Our approach is simple: Pass the exam first, then read the textbook later when the testing anxiety is completely gone.

Does the $69 Ultimate Guide include the $9 Cheat Sheet Book?

Yes! When you purchase the Ultimate Pass Guide, the complete 11th-Hour Cheat Sheet Book is fully included at no extra cost.

How much does it cost if I fail the NASM exam?

If you do not pass on your first try, NASM typically charges a $199 retest fee to reschedule. That is why investing in an expert study guide today is the smartest way to protect your time and your wallet.
