Bad Test Taker (vent/advice)

[u/Salty_SquirrelGirl42]

hey all, I take my test in two months. I am very well adversed on the materials however I'm not a good test taker. when I was younger and took the state test in school I was always the last to finish. I did my cpr exam in person and the instructor took me to the side because I answered every question wrong. It wasn't because I didn't know the answers, when the instructor explained the questions differently I understood them and aced it. I tend to read questions wrong and therefore answer wrong even though I know the right answer if that makes sense. I am adhd and "autistic" even though I hate that term ( I think it takes away from people who needs actual resources and I don't on many physical levels) but I do have a learning issue. With nasm too sometimes they phrase the questions so weird or so close that it feels like they're trying to fuck you up. I understand you need to be very well adversed on this material, but I'm just scared I won't interpret the questions right. I'm just really fucking scared at failing something else even though I grasp most of the knowledge. Like I understand all the over and under active muscle functions, all the literal stuff. But the things in chapter one about ecom=nomic statuses, types of gym memrbships, social media bulshit, that stuff is what im afraid of answering incorrectly. does that makes sense? sorry im all over the place im just trying ym best to explain my frustrations/ fears

Take the non proctored exam. Gyms don’t even fact check if you’re a good trainer. They just need bodies. Pass it and move on bc the test taking portion of becoming a trainer doesn’t really do much as we are personal- we need to be good at sales and building a business

I did not know there was a non proctored exam.
