Resources for ACE PT test prep?

RikkiL started this discussion · 3/2/2013

I am wanting to start the process to get my personal trainer certification through ACE. I already have the latest edition of the manual so am trying to find a way to save the $100 and only have to purchase the exam voucher. BUT I also don't want to miss out on the added benefit of the study aids you receive with the $500 package. Does anyone have tips for resources for test prep? Or know of a place to buy used flashcards, study guides, etc at a cheaper rate? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Did you try eBay? Or their fb page? Maybe you could post on their fb page to see if anyone wanted to sell cheap.

I may have what you need, but need to check with my husband tonight. You can email me at [email protected] if you'd like and give me your email address and I'll get back to you.

Email sent! Ginger Kitty, I've been looking around and have found the manual and some non-ACE items but I would like to have some of the things they sell specifically for the purpose. Thanks though!

The ACE Essentials of Exercise Science is a must if you don't have a solid understanding of physiology (in my opinion)

I totally agree with Bethany. You really need the Essentials of Exercise Science if you don't have it. You may want to try amazon as well. They have used copies. The flash cards you can get online at flashcardlet. Or at least that's the iPhone app name. Many people have made their own or copied the ace ones and added to there. I know the ACE academy elite cost money but that was a great help to me.

Thanks Bethany & Ginger Kitty - I will definitely look into getting that one!
