We Prepare Massage Therapy Students and Graduates for the FSMTB Massage & Bodywork Licensing Exam (MBLEx)

Pass the MBLEx the First Time

You’ve spent many months in massage school. Dedicated countless hours studying anatomy & physiology, kinesiology, pathology and other class subjects. Devoted many hours practicing your new hands-on massage skills. And paid thousands of dollars for tuition and other expenses. Now all that stands between you and your new massage career is passing the Massage & Bodywork Licensing Exam (MBLEx). MBLExGuide is your guide to passing the MBLEx in 2022.

MBLEx Practice Exams and Complete MBLEx Prep Course

Two of the most common challenges that we hear about from massage therapy students are: (1) the difficulty of learning and retaining the large volume of information that is covered in massage school and on the MBLEx, and (2) the challenges related to organizing a comprehensive MBLEx study plan that covers all of the right content and still fits into their already busy schedule. The MBLEx test prep system that we have developed helps students to overcome these challenges with our convenient, organized and affordable online program.

MBLExGuide provides current massage therapy students, graduates and practicing therapists who need to pass the MBLEx with a comprehensive online MBLEx Prep Course as well as practice tests and quizzes. Consider us your massage exam coach and study buddy. The study resources on MBLExGuide are specifically intended to help students review for the FSMTB Massage & Bodywork Licensing Exam (MBLEx). These test prep materials will also benefit massage students who need assistance preparing for their school’s comprehensive exams, and other massage licensing board exams such as the New York State Massage Therapy Examination, and the Hawaii Massage Exam. Our test prep program can also help practicing therapists prepare for the board certification exam (BCETMB) offered by the NCBTMB. Our massage exam course and training academy offers an organized and efficient approach to study all of the most important topics on the massage exam, and pass with confidence.

MBLEx Practice Exams and Quizzes

Practice massage exams are an essential component of a complete study plan. Practice tests and quizzes are one the best ways to engage in active learning. They will help you to increase your information retention and recall, track your progress, assess your exam readiness, and identify any knowledge gaps. They also help students decrease test anxiety and improve test-taking skills. Our MBLEx practice exams and quizzes pull from a huge pool of over 3,500 questions, and provide correct answer rationales. We offer full-length simulated exams, mini-exams and rapid content area quizzes. The practice tests are designed like the actual MBLEx, with similar structure and difficulty level. All practice exams are randomized and offer unlimited retakes.

Hi. I used your website to help me prepare for the MBLEx. I found the quizzes and full-length exams very useful. The price was a great value compared to the alternatives. I passed the exam and it actually seemed easy after going through all the practice tests here. Thank you!

Hey Cameron! I took my test this past Monday evening….and PASSED!! I didn’t get a chance to use everything on the website, but what I did use was super helpful. My wife will be using this site in the future for when she takes her test. Thank you again for your help and I appreciate you checking in to see how it went. I feel that using the website helped prepare me for what was on the test. Knowing your anatomy, professionalism, terminology, and the “business” side of your craft will definitely get you to your goal of passing this test. The information provided to study is a great help in accomplishing the task of passing! I definitely felt more prepared after using this site. Keep up the good work!

Thanks MBLExGuide! I finally passed the massage licensing exam!!! This was my second attempt. The first time I tried to just use my notes from class and textbooks to study, but I was very unprepared when it was time to take the exam. I didn’t want to take any chances this time and I’m glad I found your website!

You made it so simple to prepare for the MBLEx. I joined for 6 months and just took a few of quizzes every night. Then I took about 30 minutes to review any I missed or had to guess. Thank you!

I really love your program. It has made a huge difference in my retention and comprehension. Being able to review and repeat the tests as many times as you need and covering lots of different subjects is truly appreciated. The way it offers 10 question quizzes and builds up to 100 question quizzes is also very helpful. I am feeling much more prepared and definitely feeling like I can take the MBLEx successfully because of using your platform. I also really appreciate you answering my questions so quickly. I have set study time aside and want to stay focused.

I like MBLEx Guide because it is easy to use. I actually use this guide to practice my test taking skills, on the hardest subject matter which is kinesiology, I feel this guide has done its job, as i can see that my scores are improving over time.

I passed! I graduated massage school several years ago so I definitely needed this review. I would absolutely recommend mblexguide to anyone preparing for the mblex.
Michael I.

OMG this helped so much! I passed the MBLEx and am now completing my state license application. Looking forward to starting a part-time massage job soon!
Rachel S.
Massage Therapist
You guys rock! I had my first job lined up after graduation and they wanted a therapist ASAP. So I didn’t want to risk failing and having to retake the MBLEx. I passed, got my license and will soon start working at an awesome multi-therapist practice. High fives!
Emily F.
Massage Therapist
I really appreciate the extra information you give about why the correct answer is correct. I had previously tried another test prep website and they did not give any explanation about the correct answer.
Brittany M.
Massage Therapist
This is definitely better study material than ****, which is who the school tells us to use. The questions there weren’t even similar and I failed my first time. My first attempt at the MBLEx was awful and made me feel very dumb when I got all A’s and one B the whole time I was in school.
I love the study material and full-length tests which I will be taking after school. This is helping me a lot. The questions here are more like what appears on the MBLEx, so this is definitely better study material!
Tina N.
Massage Student
Good stuff here on mblexguide.com! I passed the exam on my first attempt no problem. Now I help out as a teaching assistant at my massage school and have recommended mblexguide.com to current students.
Josh L.
Massage Therapist
I am so glad I found MBLExGuide. I was honestly concerned about passing because I always get nervous when taking tests. I was still pretty nervous when I sat down to take it but after about 10 questions I was like “I totally got this!” Thanks again!

Massage Student Resources on MBLEx Guide
