Hi,Felicha
I had the same question when I was getting ready to finish massage school this past December. The state I live in accepts both. The main consideration would be will testing with MBLEX limit where you plan to practice since not all states accept MBLEX yet, though I do think list of accepting states continues to increase. The owner of the massage school I went to is a big supporter of MBLEX. I decided to test with MBLEX and I have to say the whole proccess went smoothly and quickly. The application was very short and easy to fill out (two pages total). I received my authorization to test letter within a week of sending in my application. As for the test itself, I felt it wasn't very difficult at all. All the questions were strictly about massage...nothing about chakras, meridians, etc.
