It's been a while since I have studied most of this stuff... the anatomy and physiology etc. I was really good at in high school(just over 4 years ago) so I know as I read/study and take notes it will all come back to me. I was just wanting to get some feedback from some folks here who took the exam, what you did to study, what was most effective and if you felt that reading the book alone was enough? any study guides/websites that may help me better prepare for the test?

thanks in advance

Definitely do the practice tests and know the book.

If you want a quick kinesiology/anatomy/physiology reference you can use ExRx.net which is a NSCA continuing education provider as well: http://www.exrx.net/Lists/Directory.html

Another good site to really see the attachments and origins of muscles and skeletal structure is the interactive http://GetBodySmart.com

Good Luck with the Test!
