I just want to thank you for this course you have offered. I passed my MBLEx this past Friday and I don’t believe I could have without this course.

Thanks MBLExGuide! I finally passed the massage licensing exam!!! This was my second attempt.

I didn't want to take any chances this time and I'm glad I found your website!

I graduated in 2009 and decided to take my test in January and failed. I had used a different review app, and was very under prepared for the test. So far I'm very impressed with the review and quizzes in this format!
JodiMassage Therapist
I took the MBLEx once already and stored ~69 percent, I was very close to passing and REALLY want to pass my second time. My school was new, and while a great school, was still learning how to properly teach massage and didn't spend much (if any) time discussing the MBLEx with us and how to study for it, so I'm thankful to have access to this course to help me study!
RebeccaMassage Therapist
I'm really enjoying the lessons so far. I just finished massage therapy school last week. I am taking this course to make sure I am ready for the MBLEX.

Proven Learning Strategies Used Throughout Our MBLEx Course

Microlearning

This powerful learning strategy is applied by delivering bite-size bits of information to the learner. Study tactics such as chunking reduce information overload and boost retention. Our MBLEx Prep Course segments massage exam content into over 270 lessons.

Spaced Repetition

Also called spaced practice, this learning strategy promotes "durable learning", and reduces the forgetting curve. Involves repeating previously learned material at strategically timed intervals.

Interleaving

This learning strategy involves switching between topics of study to maximize retention and creating connections between subjects. Our MBLEx Course applies this strategy by including topics from each of the 7 MBLEx content areas in each lesson.

Concrete Examples

Specific, concrete examples are given to help the learner understand abstract ideas. The concrete examples in this MBLEx Course are highly relevant to massage students and new massage therapists.

Elaboration

This teaching technique involves explaining and describing ideas with many details. We apply this strategy when needed to explain concepts that are commonly confusing to massage therapy students and new therapists.

Dual Coding

This is a fancy name for the learning strategy that involves integrating words and visuals to activate different centers of your brain. By using multimodal content, you can increase retention of new material.

Retrieval Practice

This learning strategy challenges the massage student to bring information to mind without the help of study materials. Each section of every lesson includes some review questions to accomplish this. Each lesson also concludes with a 15-question quiz that covers the topics in the lesson.

Active Learning

This MBLEx Course encourages active learning with suggested readings for students to further explore key topics. Since students have different textbooks available, we just encourage online research to take a deep dive into any content areas where appropriate.

Engagement

As a MBLExGuide member, you are welcome to reach out to us if you encounter a concept that you can't quite understand. Think of MBLEx Guide as your personal massage exam coach or study buddy.

Frequently Asked Questions

new massage therapist asks if she is ready to pass the MBLEx

The MBLEx Prep Course is an online massage exam prep course that was created to help massage students and graduates prepare for the FSMTB Massage and Bodywork Licensing Exam (MBLEx). The course is 30 lessons, with each lesson including content from each of the 7 content areas of the MBLEx. 

Each lesson in the MBLEx Course should take between 30 and 60 minutes to complete. However, this will vary depending on the lesson and the student. A highly motivated student can probably complete all 30 lessons in 2 weeks. But we recommend completing no more than one lesson per day in order to maximize retention and reduce overwhelm. The ideal pace would be to complete 2-4 lessons per week to allow time to process and assimilate the information. This would also allow time to do further study on any topics that you have difficulty with.
