ACSM CPT study guide
What is inside
120 MCQ cards across ACSM-CPT themes: client assessment, exercise programming, exercise science, and behavior & safety. Every card includes a correct explanation and notes on why the other options fail — the same bank as the free timed readiness check.
2–3 week study plan with the free mock
**Week 1:** 15–20 new cards/day across assessment and programming (PAR-Q+/risk, FITT-style loading). **Week 2:** Add science and behavior/safety cards; sit the [free 120-question ACSM CPT readiness check](/mock-exams/acsm-cpt-readiness-check). **Final days:** Review-only Anki on weak topics — keep official ACSM timing practice separate (**135 items / 150 minutes / scaled pass 550**).
Pitfalls this deck targets
Candidates over-drill exercise science trivia and under-drill initial consultation, medical-clearance decisions, and legal/professional responsibilities (~10% of the official outline). Cards force all four domain clusters under spaced recall.
What this does not replace
ACSM eligibility, CPR/AED requirements, GETP study, or the official ACSM-CPT exam. Independent prep — not ACSM material.
