Taking MBLEx in a few weeks...

I graduated massage school in 2006, and finally getting a chance to take my licensing exam.
I have a study guide I got from the school but I feel its not enough. If anyone can help guide me in a good direction on what I need to study and
what resources I should purchase in order to have a great score on my
exam I would greatly appreciate it.

Luciana, I've been trying to get on the ball to take this since getting out of school 3 yrs ago. Did you think it was easier to take the exam quite a while out of school because your experience level had grown; or do you think it might have been easier to take it sooner after getting out so that the your studies were fresher in your mind?

Thanks so much for the tips. I am definitely nervous but I am confident I can pass it.

I just took the Mblex. I studied out of the Mosby's Study Guide. Make sure you know joint movements, passive stretching, nervous system, endocrine system, and there are a lot of critical thinking questions about when to apply techniques like positional release, muscle energy techniques etc. I found the Mosby's study guide that has practice exams to be very helpful and I did very well on the test. You also need a general knowledge of the muscles. You should be able to group muscles together...like you should know that pectineus is no where near sternocleidomastoid for example. MBlex provides you with an outline of what to study for also....GOOD LUCK! It wasn't that hard...
