Needing help with studying for EMBLEX test

I am trying to find help with studying for the EMBLEX Test. I have tried taking it several times but the questions are things we never had in class or words I don't understand what they are talking about. I understand there are study groups or other therapist that will help students. If you can give me some information about this I would be so thankful.

I'd be pretty upset if I'd been through a school that did not fully prepare me for examination. I just googled EMBLEX flash cards, they have them available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc. I've always found flash cards to be an excellent way to ensure I've got a good grasp on a subject. Study them over and over until you know every answer, easy peasy! Good luck! (:

Flash cards would be good for sure... Also Laura Allen that frequently writes on this site, has a study guide out thats very good... PLAIN and SIMPLE GUIDE TO THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE and BODYWORK CERTIFICATION. Comes with a CD and practice exams.. Order it from any book store or Amazon.com... Also dont feel bad...Im a serious professional massage therapist with tons of experience..I took a practice exam and got 60%...so just study..

Thanks for the reply and much appreciated suggestions. I have been to two schools the first one shut down before we finished and it took quite awhile to find another one I could afford and now it seems we are left with out a paddle to be able to know how to study for the exam. I will definitely check these out. My friends from school are having the same problem,we've been trying to study together for awhile now, so we both appreciate any help or suggestions.

Good luck, Carolyn! I think Gordon's suggestion is right on, Laura Allen's book will surely cover everything you need to know. Let us know how you do!
