Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Way to go, Tess!!! That is an awesome score. I have heard that this test is very hard so you should be extra proud of passing w/ flying colors!Donna Subject: The ACE Exam todayTo: exercisevideos Date: Tuesday, December 2, 2008, 12:31 PM Thank you to all who've said a prayer or sent positive thoughts. Itwas tougher than I feared, there were several questions that I readand thought 'I've never read about this before in my life.' When Ifinished, I didn't have a clue how I'd done until it was graded.Out of 800 possible points, I got 674, with 500 required to pass. So,the A+ student in me is a little peeved, but the majority of me iscrazy-pleased and utterly relieved! <G>The big hairy monkey on my back is GONE and I'm CERTIFIED! (Asopposed to certifiable, which is probably true too, but requires anentirely different sort of exam.)Thank you again for your support and encouragement all these months.Now, I can workout with a free conscience and not worry if I tweak myback.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Good job, Tess! ACE *is* tough! That's why I went with AFAA - the questions are easier and you do a practicum in addition to a written exam. I bow to you for completing ACE! I missed some posts, obviously (super busy at work with year end projects) but are you going to be a trainer or a GX instructor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Thank you everyone! I'm so relieved it's becoming funny. :-) I plan on becoming a trainer. Because of my son's disability and his health coverage, I can't really start working for pay until he's 18 in another year, but I intend on using the time to get some CE credits in subjects that will enhance my scope of practice, and also to do some volunteer training at the Y to gain real-world experience. I really do appreciate all the encouragement and congratulations here! Tess On Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 4:05 PM, Pink wrote: > Good job, Tess! ACE *is* tough!

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Thank you, Tonya!I got the Personal Trainer cert. I'll probably start on the Lifestyle and Weight Management cert after the first of the year, to help get some of my CE's out of the way, too. Since it'll be another year before I can go to work full time, I'm hoping to get that, a Special Populations cert, and maybe Group Exercise as well, just to have enough education to maybe outweigh my lack of experience. <G> Tess Congratulations! Which ACE Cert did you get? Tonya The ACE Exam today Thank you to all who've said a prayer or sent positive thoughts.
