I am currently studying for for the NSCA-CSCS certification, and lack an exercse-related bachelor's degree (I did gain acceptance into medical school, so I have taken quite a bit of science courses). I recently purchased the "CSCS ElitePlus + Exam Package" (
NSCA Certification Commission:) from the NSCA's online store, and was wondering: what is the most efficient method of utilizing the materials?
Here's my current plan:
1) Review the
CSCS Exam Content Description Booklet to familiarize myself with the test.
2) To learn the
Scientific Foundation Section, I plan on thoroughly studying the
Essentials of Stength Training and Conditioning Multimedia Symposium CDs, using the
Essentials of Stength Training and Conditioning Textbook as a supplemental source.
3) To learn the
Practical/Applied Section, I plan on studying the
Exercise Technique Videos and
Checklist Manual.
4) Take the official
CSCS Practice Exam.
5) Take the real
NSCA-CSCS exam.
Does that sound like a solid idea? I understand different methods work for different individuals, but I would appreciate any tips or feedback, especially from those who have passed the CSCS examination without an exercise-related bachelor's degree.
