> ACSM CPT practice test: free 25-question diagnostic, full mock 60 timed questions / 75 min from a 120-item bank, topic scores, answer review — then the $11 / 120-card Anki deck. Official ACSM-CPT: 135 items / 150 min / scaled 550. Not ACSM material.

## About this free practice test

ACSM-CPT is the health-fitness trainer exam: preparticipation screening and risk, then the exercise prescription, then how you lead the session, then behavior change and emergency scope. Each full attempt draws 15 questions from each of those four domains (60 timed questions, 75 minutes). The free start is 25 questions. Official ACSM-CPT is 135 items in 150 minutes, scaled pass 550. This is not NSCA-CPT (155 questions, including video items) and not a NASM OPT-model bank. The linked deck is $11 / 120 cards.

- Built for: Personal trainer candidates preparing for the ACSM Certified Personal Trainer exam who want a timed baseline before paid Q-banks.
- Topics: Client assessment, Exercise programming, Exercise science, Behavior & safety

## Report features

- Pass/no-pass readiness verdict
- Weighted topic diagnosis
- Pacing analysis

- Linked Anki deck repair plan for no-pass or borderline results
