For starters, it is recommend that testers take an MBLEx practice test to ensure that they are ready for the real test. But that’s just one method of preparation. Setting a schedule is equally as important. Certain factors need to be assessed before you create a schedule. The first is the length and scope of the massage program you’ve been taking. Vigorous programs will prepare you better so less study time needs to be planned. If you schedule an hour every day to studying, then you will need to study for at least one month before taking the exam. On the other hand, if you can study for 3 hours a day, then you only need a couple of weeks to study. It is also recommend that you use your school resources to prepare, including textbooks and notes taken in classes. Find a study guide to help guide you in the right direction and make sure that you’re studying for up-to-date questions. These are only a few of the resources that you need to consider. The materials on the test are not overly difficult, but it is a comprehensive exam so you’ll need to be sure your knowledge covers all areas of massage therapy practices.
