The ACE Personal Trainer exam is comprised of 150 multiple-choice questions based on 4 subject areas. These subject areas are broken down as follows:
– Client Interviews and Assessments
– Program Design and Implementation
– Progression and Modifications; and
– Professional Conduct, Safety and Risk Management.
You will be allotted 3 hours in which to take the 150-question exam. A passing score is at least 500 out of 800 possible points. Only 125 of the questions are actually scored, as 25 of the questions are experimental. You will not be informed which questions these are, so make every answer count.
There are certain qualifications you must meet in order to sit for the ACE personal trainer exam. You must be at least 18 years of age and hold an adult CPR and AED certificate.
