All requests to cancel or transfer exams must be made either by calling Pearson Vue at this U.S. number 888-883-2276 or in your account with www.pearsonvue.com/acsm. All test forms for an exam are based on a standardized test plan; see I.F. The use of examination specifications ensures that the content of the examination forms is comparable, that the content of the examination is weighted according to the competent performance requirements and that all forms of examination meet the standards of validity of the content. However, the items assessed for a review change over time. This is done to ensure that the content is up-to-date and relevant, and to increase testing security. Because the elements differ in terms of ease or difficulty, exam forms may not be as difficult. As a result, CMHA conducts exam form reviews to ensure that the required score is adjusted (also known as equivalency) to be equivalent in the various forms of examination. The equation ensures that the pass mark of 550 means that the candidates for the exam have reached the same level of knowledge, skills or abilities, regardless of the form of exam taken. * A note on credit cards: A credit card can only be used as the primary ID if it contains both a photo and a signature and has not expired. Most credit cards do not meet these requirements.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 (PL 101-336) is a comprehensive civil rights law designed to eliminate discrimination against persons with disabilities in all areas of life. The Examination Program at the American College of Sports Medicine embraces the law both in letter and spirit. Title I of the ADA states: “Employers [certification bodies] should conduct a job analysis to determine the essential functions of each job (knowledge and skills – SK). If a person with a disability meets legitimate educational, qualification and experience qualifications for a position [certificate verification], the employer must make reasonable arrangements. Reasonable accommodation includes, but is not limited to, the reassignment of non-essential tasks, the provision of aids or services, the removal of architectural barriers in the workplace … Title III contains a provision to “change rules or practices” for persons with disabilities who meet essential eligibility requirements. Reasonable arrangements for conducting an ACSM eligibility check may include text magnification, auxiliary hearing aids, readers, and longer periods.
