Start testHow these CSCS practice tests match the real exam
The real Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) Exam has 220 questions and a 240-minute time limit. Question types: Multiple choice; Scientific Foundations has 80 scored + 15 non-scored items (1.5 h); Practical/Applied has 110 scored + 15 non-scored items (2.5 h), 30–40 of them video- and/or image-based. Each practice test here uses the same question formats, so you get used to how CSCS questions are asked before test day.
The tests draw on every CSCS content area, weighted like the official outline:
- Exercise Sciences (about 60% of the exam)
- Sport Psychology (about 25% of the exam)
- Nutrition (about 15% of the exam)
- Program Design (about 40% of the exam)
- Exercise Technique (about 25% of the exam)
- Program Implementation (about 20% of the exam)
- Organization and Administration (about 15% of the exam)
Use tutor mode to see the explanation after each answer, or timed mode to practise at real exam pace. Every answer comes with an explanation of why it is right and why the other options are wrong.
