Hell yeah I passed that hooker!! The final test had alot of the same questions that the online quiz had, and if they were not the same they were very similar in the content they covered.
I am so relieved to get this over with, I bought the kit back in march, had until like July 3rd to finish it, well I kept procrastinating and putting off the studying for like 6 weeks after I bought it, then I finally had 1 week where my school work load dropped alot, and in 5 days read the ~700pg book and answered all the questions to the study guide. That was about 2 weeks ago. Then all of this monday and part of tuesday I watched the videos, talk about freakin boring! So put all the studying together into about 7 days, it would be possible to do less if you have alot of free time, but those videos take up alot of time, 7 videos and each one ranges from 1hr 45min to 2hr 30min
If I were to do it over again, I would probably do the studying the same way, compact it all together and not drag it out too much and start withing 2-3 weeks of when you plan to take the test. Watching all those videos in a period of 2 days sucked (I dont even like watching normal movies though...) but I think watching those videos all at once and so close to when I took the test helped in remembering alot of the little things.
The parts I had trouble with was just what muscles in the lumbo-pelvic complex postural distortion and lower extremeties postural distortions were weak and which were tight. All the upper body muscles were pretty easy for me to figure out, but when they are asking what muscle is tight when you are flat footed: anterior tibialis, posterior tibialis, peroneals, soleus- something like that to choose from, I would just mimick the positions they talked about and would feel those muscles to see which felt to be what they were asking for. They also tried to word the questions kind of tricky, there were a couple times when I went back through all the questions I realized I misinterpreted the question wrong because I was going through it so fast.
I dont know how much of this information was really that helpful, I learned alot of exercises for the core and stabilization that would probably be helpful in training completely out of shape people and old people, and learned a whole bunch of super gay exercises I wouldnt get caught seen performing! For my own training I didnt hardly learn anything that was very applicable to what I want or didnt already know, but if I would have taken that test without studying for it, I would have bombed it horribly.
lol..
