The MBLEX certification exam has become the exam of choice for newly graduated massage therapy students seeking certification to obtain their massage therapy license. The MBLEX is increasingly accepted in more states across the United States and is “the test” for emerging bodyworkers and future massage therapists. The MBLEx is attractive for several reasons. First of all, it is a multiple-choice type of exam and a robust and comprehensive type of certification exam, as well as being the least expensive of the exams offered.

Having said that, the MBLEx is by no means a cheap take-or-fail test. Many massage therapy graduate students think they will be able to just walk in and pass without any preparation or review. Like anything else in life, you need to prepare, review your study notes, maybe even go back and take a refresher course or even a good massage therapy study guide. I have seen too many people get frustrated, waste money, waste time for the simple reason of not preparing. The MBLEx is an excellent option, the best option in my opinion, but a choice that you should prepare for. I like to point people in the direction of online study guides who have repeated problems failing or failing their massage exam. Study guides can be a very useful and clever way for some people to pass their exam. Try to find one that is online, since the MBLEx is taken on a computer. Some people who study from books don’t get that added benefit of an online study guide if they’re looking at a book.

The MBLEx also has a four hour test time limit. I suggest you don’t overanalyze each question and go with your first instinct for each question. Also, take your time, four hours is a long time, there is no need to rush. There is also an exam fee of $195.00 to take the exam, and this fee must be paid again in full each time you fail the exam. Therefore, it is crucial that you pass the exam, or it can turn out to be quite expensive. I hope this helps many people who are seeking their massage certification as well as their massage license in the state they reside in for a great and long career in massage therapy where you will be making a great and noble career helping people to feel and live a better life. .
