Side-by-side comparisons with my classmates showed not only is there more material and updated guidelines that you'll need to know in the 4th edition, but that ACSM has completely revamped the way they structure the content/topics for the certification exam. So if you're going to sit for the exam, get a 4th edition if you can.As far as the content itself goes, the Resources book is thorough and has a lot of good info in it. I've not taken the exam yet, so I can't speak to how well the contents of this book or the Certification Review track to the exam itself. But we did do a "practice test" in class with questions taken from the actual exam test bank, and none of the questions were new material or unexpected (although a few were trickier than expected). The Certification Review also has a lot of key charts, guidelines and tables pulled from the textbook for easy reference, which is handy for focused studying.I'm just now starting the Exercise Prescription Guidelines, but it appears to be a fantastic reference (in fact, one of our guest lecturers, who is not only certified but works for the ACSM exam board, noted that she refers to it all the time in her practice). It also reads like some ACSM guidelines re: risk stratification and recommendations have been updated recently, so aside from its practical value as reference material, it's worth having if you're going to sit for the exam. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Lighting fast delivery!!! *by 2***2 on Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2014* So I ordered the kit on a Friday. Used standard shipping. Received it by Saturday. Talk about lightning/expedited shipping!! I am so totally excited to get cracking and start studying my way to an ACSM certification. Looks intimidating but with hard work & dedication, I will be fine. Keep up the good work! Thank you, thank you, thank you.... ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but less information then I had anticipated. *by A***H on Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2015* This book has a good amount of information but It leaves you wanting for more in the nutritional side of things. I had planed to get my Personal Trainer through ACSM but after reading their book I've decided to go with another company. Just my personal preference. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1566692-acsms-guidelines-for-exercise-testing-and-prescription-certification-review-resources](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1566692-acsms-guidelines-for-exercise-testing-and-prescription-certification-review-resources) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
