CSCS Study Guide - Full-Length Practice Tests, Secrets Prep Book for the NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Assessment: [3rd Edition]

This is a great tool for me so far. I was able to talk with Mometrix and get the free videos it come with. I would highly recommend this to everyone wanting to study for the CSCS exam.

My thought was to use this book as a learning aid, with the practice tests as a way to validate my efforts.There are almost no pictures. This is bad because words alone cannot really describe any number of anatomic and motion details. I haven't checked the vendor's available videos, but I understand that they are not anatomy or exercise videos.There is also no introduction to the terminology. You are presumed to already understand a lot of domain-specific terms going in.All of which is to say that, while it satisfies its stated goal of helping the reader prepare for the test that culminates a long sequence of study, it's not a good tool for the intelligent amateur. In hindsight, that probably should have been obvious.

Great Book with a up to date format and access to the CSCS exam! Highly Recommend!! They’re really great at their service as well!

The CSCS Study Guide, complemented by the full-length practice tests and the Secrets Prep Book, has been an indispensable resource in my preparation for the NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) exam.The study guide provides a thorough and detailed review of all the concepts tested on the CSCS exam. It covers the scientific foundations, practical/applied aspects, and every critical topic necessary for success, including exercise techniques, program planning, and safety protocols. The material is well-organized, making it easy to follow and understand.The inclusion of full-length practice tests is a significant strength of this study guide. These tests closely mimic the actual exam questions, helping me gauge my knowledge and identify areas where I need further focus. The detailed answer explanations provided with each question were invaluable, as they not only clarified the correct answers but also enhanced my understanding of the underlying principles.The study guide supports a layered learning approach, which I found particularly effective. It starts with broad overviews of key topics and then delves into the finer details, ensuring a deep understanding of the subject matter. This approach, combined with the practice tests, helped me build a robust foundation in strength and conditioning

It was very informative

This book is a must have since it keeps my knowledge in check. I get to read it when bored or while traveling. The quality of the information is good and the book is easy to use.

This prep guide contained not only useful study material but also contained a separate section of how to study test prep hints.
