The first step of a new journey is often the hardest. The anxiety that comes with doing something you’ve never done before—whether it’s your first day of school, your first massage, or your first date—is completely normal. It’s the feeling of walking into the unknown, where everything is new and the stakes feel incredibly high.
For you, that first big step is the MBLEx exam. You’ve spent countless hours in class and have the skills to be an amazing massage therapist. But now you have to face a test you’ve never taken, in an unfamiliar setting, with what feels like the weight of your future career on your shoulders. I see the panic in my inbox or on Reddit and Facebook from other first-time test-takers almost every day. I promise you are not alone.
While taking the MBLEx for the first time is new for you, helping people pass the MBLEx isn’t new to us. At Massage Exam Academy we have been doing this for over 10 years. We’ve guided thousands of students through the exam preparation process, and we know exactly what it takes to turn that feeling of first time test anxiety into confidence on exam day.
Here is what we have seen work for the thousands of people that have used Massage Exam Academy to pass their MBLEx and get licensed.
We’ll Teach You What Your School Didn’t
Hopefully, your massage school gave you a great education. They taught you how to help people with your hands and how to run a professional business. What they didn’t teach you is the specific strategies needed to conquer this unique licensing exam, like multiple choice strategy. A professional licensing is no joke. It is expensive and can only be taken once every 30 days if you fail. This isn’t a time to casually prepare or rely on people that took the exam years ago before the format changed.
The MBLEx tests you on your ability to apply your massage school textbook knowledge, not just memorize facts. We’ll show you how to think like a test-maker, break down complex scenario-based questions, and stop guessing the answers.
Instead of studying everything at once and feeling overwhelmed, we help you build a strategic plan. Our program gives you a clear, step-by-step roadmap so you know exactly what to study and when. You’ll move with purpose, not panic.
We also give you the tools to pinpoint and eliminate your weaknesses, not ignore them (one of the biggest mistakes we see by those that fail the MBLEx). Our mini-simulations and practice tests don’t just give you a score; they tell you exactly which subjects you need to focus on. This means you stop wasting time on what you already know and start putting your energy where it matters most.
We know you have questions. And we have put together a website with answers to the most common questions people have before their exam.
