 Exam
Preparation
To
help you in preparing for your exam, we offer Practical
and/or Written Exam Review Sessions and Anatomy Review
Sessions.
Practical
Review Session - In this 2 1/2 hour
prep session, we'll fully explain the Practical
Test procedure, what the examiner is looking
for and how to prepare for it. You will receive
valuable information regarding the marking
system and answers to your questions regarding
the marking system and areas of examination.
In addition, you'll see a sample scoring example.
One volunteer will teach the basic principles
in front of the group and the Instructor Trainer
will score them as though it were an actual
exam. This is a great opportunity to see what
is expected during the Practical and how scores
are determined. . . .and, maybe, to be the
brave one who volunteers.
Written
Review Session - In this 1 1/2 hour
prep course, you'll take a practice test with
questions modeled after those on the actual
exam, including exercise questions, programming
questions and anatomy questions. Once you've
completed the practice test, you'll review
and discuss the answers. You will score your
own practice exam privately. This is a great
opportunity to practice your test taking skills
and find out what areas of the material you'll
need to focus on for the exam. You'll also
determine whether you are prepared to take
the exam or if you should spend more time preparing.
AnatOmy
Review -
In this 5 hour prep course, you'll learn all
of the muscles and anatomy information you're
expected to know for the exam - PLUS MORE. Anatomy
is learned by repitition - so hearing it again
will only help in preparation process. You'll
see slides of the muscles that are from the same
photos used on the exam. Muscles will be related
to the STOTT PILATES exercises where appropriate.
This review is meant as an exam prep and will
focus on the information needed to do well on
the exam - At the end of the session you'll take
an Anatomy Quiz based on the information learned.
This is a great opportunity to find out what
areas need more study and whether or not you
are prepared for the anatomy questions on the
Written Exam - AN EXAM PREP MUST. Be sure to
bring your Bryan Edwards Muscle Flash cards to
the workshop, as well as the Illustrated Essentials
of Musculoskeletal Anatomy book by Sieg and Adams.
We
encourage everyone preparing to take the STOTT
PILATES* Exams to take the Practical and Written
Review sessions and the Anatomy Review Session.
