What did you use to study for the NCBTMB or MBLEx?

Wednesday was my last day of class at Everest College. I will start studying next week for the NCE. I have found a website, www.massagenerd.com, but what did you all use to help you study for your exams?

In addition, are there any study tips you may want to share?

Hi Epiphany,

I sat the NCTMB exam last November. My preparation for the exam was buying access to the practice exams on the NCBTMB site and completing the 3 practice exams. I think I spent a total of an hour on the 3 tests about a week before the test. The test took about 35 minutes to complete and I passed.

Laura Allen's book, Plain & Simple Guide to Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork Examinations is a really excellent resource. It's available on Amazon. The practice tests mentioned above are also good.
