How long you need to study for the MBLEx® is going to depend on your unique situation. Are you relatively new to the massage industry or do you already have significant experience? Did you just complete massage education or has it been a while? Even for those that have a lot of experience and recent education, the MBLEx® can still be challenging. To give yourself the best chance for success you should allocate at least several months of study prep time. 

Massage Study Buddy’s MBLEx® study guide includes four different modules including six different flashcard card sets, eight sections each for quizzes and rapid-fire questions based on specific topics, and finally a full-length MBLEx® practice exam. Each of these modules is self-paced and you can retake them as many times as you’d like to make sure you have the information down. For additional information, we also publish news and updates about the MBLEx® to our blog section.

Absolutely. Our free MBLEx® study prep course includes a MBLEx® practice exam that can be taken anywhere you have a connection to the internet. It is best if you can create a real-world test environment by timing yourself and eliminating all distractions in a quiet place. Running through the MBLEx® practice test until you are comfortable with it is a great way to establish familiarity with the format of the test and the types of questions you’ll face come test time. 

The online MBLEx® quiz section of our test prep is divided into eight different units each covering the topics similarly covered on the MBLEx®. Each unit contains 25 questions that revolve around that unit’s specific topic. For example, under “Anatomy & Physiology” you’ll find questions like, “What is the joining classification for intervertebral facet joints?” (bonus points if you answered “gliding”), while the Pathology section asks questions like “Chest pains with radiation down the left arm and up the jaw describes…?” (angina pectoris, for those taking notes). The quizzes let you download your results so you can focus your study around those questions you missed. After you’ve looked over your results, you can retake the quizzes as many times as you’d like to.

Definitely! Module One of our free MBLEx® test prep curriculum contains six units of different flashcard sets. Massage Study Buddy MBLEx® flashcards are fill-in-the-blank format for key terms after reading the provided definition. These flashcard modules each contain 50 different flashcards for a total of 300 different key terms you can master.

Absolutely. The FSMTB® lists that “Ethics, Boundaries, Laws, and Regulations” currently covers 16% of the distribution of topics tested on the MBLEx®. This section can trip up some professionals who like to focus more on the practice side of massage therapy, but the information here is vital for the long-term success of the individual in the massage industry and an area of study the FSMTB® expects massage students to have mastered. Our MBLEx® study guide contains flashcard questions, rapid-fire questions, quizzes, and a final exam all containing Ethics-related questions to help you be prepared for this section on the MBLEx®.

You can take as long as you like to complete the MBLEx® practice exam we include in our curriculum. A good plan is to take it a few times through to get a feel for the test and then put yourself under actual test conditions. The MBLEx® is administered at an independent test facility where you’ll be timed and monitored. You won’t have your cell phone, notes, or laptop nearby either. Do your best to mimic these conditions during your practice exam, giving yourself a two-hour time limit as you’ll face on the actual MBLEx®.

The rapid-fire questions module is broken up into eight different units each pertaining to a different topic of study from the MBLEx®. Each unit has five questions each to give you a quick, rapid-fire run-through of questions related to the category. Rapid-fire questions are a great way to warm up when you are starting a new unit of study or as a quick refresher for a given topic. Once each unit is complete, you can see your score, review any questions you missed, and even reset the questions to take them as many times as you like. 

Each unit has a certain amount of questions that you can proceed through. Once you have completed all the questions, you can submit the unit to see your score. Any questions you missed will be marked with the correct answer below. You can print these results to review later and press your browser’s back arrow to reset the unit.
