Hi Gary,

It really depends on which one you're more comfortable with. A lot of people like the paper and pencil exam because they're familiar with it after taking standardized tests for so long.

Some people like the availability and convenience of the computer-based testing. We posted about it in our Exam Prep Blog, I hope it helps!... Read More

Each person studies differently and has different areas of weakness. Try a sample test to figure out what yours are, that way you can target your studies.

Also, it might be helpful to read our Exam Prep Blog for extra little tips and tricks.

Hi Lokelani!

Your certification is good for two years from when you passed the exam.

To maintain your certification you just need to have a current CPR and AED certificate and you need to complete 2.0 continuing education credits. After that you can just go online to http://www.acefitness.org to complete your renewal. ... Read More

Let us know if you have anymore questions, thanks!

Right, but my 2 years expire this month, and I won't have time to do 2 CECs. I'm in the Army and am deploying very soon (for a year) and I wanted to see if I could somehow get recertified while I'm in Afghanistan. Thus, recertification involves taking the exam, again, I'll have to wait til I get back to do it.
