Document preview thumbnail
Preview 4 out of 46 pages

BUILT AROUND THE NBC-HWC CONTENT OUTLINE: The cheat sheets cover the major NBC-HWC examination content areas: Coaching Presence, Relationships, and Sessions; Theories, Models, and Approaches to Behavior Change; Skills, Tools, and Strategies; Ethics and Professional Practice; and Health and Wellness. BEST FOR: graduates of approved coaching training programs working through the required coaching session log; registered nurses and other clinicians adding coaching to patient-facing work; dietitians and nutrition professionals shifting from advising to partnering; personal trainers, exercise physiologists, and fitness professionals moving beyond program design; health educators and wellness staff running corporate and community programs; therapists, social workers, and behavioral health professionals focused on lifestyle change; and anyone pursuing initial NBC-HWC certification or recertifying by examination. WHAT YOU'LL RECEIVE: ONE-PAGE SUMMARY. The complete NBC-HWC blueprint on a single page, with the major content areas and the highest-yield concepts in each. TERMINOLOGY TABLES. Side-by-side comparisons of the terminology the exam expects you to distinguish, from change talk, sustain talk, and discord to structural versus social determinants of health. COMMON CONFUSIONS CHEAT SHEET. The concept pairs that cost candidates points, including simple and complex reflections, and outcome goals and behavioral goals. MISTAKE-FINDER MINI-QUIZZES. Practice spotting the assessment errors candidates actually make, such as offering a meal plan, exercise prescription, or supplement recommendation when the moment calls for a referral. HIGH-YIELD QUICK REFERENCE. Every content area condensed to what you need to recall, from the behavior change theories and models a coach must apply to the biometric ranges and red flags that signal it is time to refer. ACTIVE RECALL STRIPS. Retrieval prompts covering the stages of change, the spirit and tasks of motivational interviewing, the three psychological needs in self-determination theory, and the blood pressure, lipid, and A1C ranges a coach should recognize. PROVE-YOU-KNOW CHECKS. Applied tasks that confirm you can recognize change talk and respond without leading, co-create an action plan in the client's own words, and name the moment a conversation crosses out of coaching and into referral. EXAM-DAY CHECKLIST. A clear checklist to help you feel organized, focused, and ready to perform. BONUSES INCLUDED: Your purchase also includes access to a bonus resource page with three additional study tools. PRINTABLE STUDY TEMPLATES. Mind maps, comparison charts, and Cornell notes for organizing difficult concepts and comparing commonly confused information. FLEXIBLE WEEK-BY-WEEK STUDY PLAN. A weekly schedule that breaks your preparation into manageable steps instead of trying to review everything at once. ONLINE PRACTICE LAB. Interactive study games and activities: flashcards, matching activities, crosswords, Sort It, and Scramble Sprint. Instant digital download. Study on your laptop, tablet, or phone whenever it works for you. You've got this. Made Easy Academy has got you.

START HERE
You know that scramble in the last stretch before an exam, when you don't have time to
reread everything and you're just trying to lock in the stuff that actually shows up. We've
been there, and it's exactly why we made these.

Everything here is the high-yield material, pulled out and laid out clean so you can review
fast and trust that what's in front of you is what matters. Read them early to see the big
picture, keep them handy between study sessions, or lean on them hard in those final days
when you just need the essentials in one place.


HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THESE
01 Start with the One-Page Summary. Read it once to see the whole exam at a glance, then
come back before every study session to keep the big picture in view.


02 Work the Terminology Tables and Quick Reference next. These are your foundation: the
terms, equations, and facts you'll use again and again.


03 Test yourself, don't just read. Use the Mistake Finder quizzes and Active Recall Strips to
pull the material from memory. Cover, quiz, repeat. That's where the real gains happen.


04 The night before, run the Exam-Day Checklist. Walk in prepared and calm.



A QUICK TIP Don't try to memorize every page in one sitting. Review a little each day, lean on
active recall, and let the Prove-You-Know Checks tell you when you've actually got it.
