Pilates Practical Exam Prep, 20 Mock Teaching Exams, Partner Score Sheets, Mat Reformer PDF

Your practical exam is booked. You know the repertoire, you have taught your cohort, and your program has told you what the assessor will mark. What you have never done is teach a real body against that sheet, with the clock running, and find out where your marks go. This book lets you do that at home with a study partner, as many times as you need before the day.

Your partner plays the client. Each of the twenty mock practicals gives her a card: who she is, her history, her goals, two movement habits to show you on cue, and one thing she says only if you ask the right question. You see only your own card, the way you would in the exam. Halfway through she draws a curveball. Afterwards she scores you on ten criteria, each written as something she can see or hear, so she does not need to teach Pilates to mark you fairly. Then you turn the page together to the model answer: the stated focus, the full plan with a reason and an option for every exercise, the two corrections the assessor waits for, and where marks are usually lost.
