The new, single volume study guide by Michelle Phillips, entitled Questions & Answers For Passing the MBLEx and NCBTMB Exams, represents a complete revision and reorganization of her classic two volume study guide set. It retains the questions from her previous publications and adds hundreds of new questions and answers.

Containing nearly 3000 questions and closely following the content outline of the MBLEx, which is now the primary exam being used for state licensing, this study guide will provide you with excellent preparation for taking the MBLEx. The book is composed of multiple choice questions with answers, divided by chapter, and covering all of the content you will see on your exam. (We have retained the chapter on Asian/Eastern bodywork for those who may be taking the NCETMB or the New York state exam, so this study guide will prepare you for those exams as well.)

The book is designed to assist you in determining your specific strengths and weaknesses in each subject area so that you can concentrate in the areas most needed, while its format enables you to familiarize yourself with questions similar to those on your actual exam. Going through this process will make you increasingly comfortable with the exam format and more confident in your ability to successfully navigate your way through the exam to a successful conclusion.

Michelle Phillips, a licensed massage therapist in Florida and Texas, as well as nationally certified, received her training and education from the Florida Institute of Massage Therapy in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. While attending the institute, Michelle recognized that students needed an effective study guide to help in the preparation for therapeutic massage examinations. What she developed was a simple, direct approach involving a comprehensive list of multiple choice questions and answers, in an easy-to-use format. The first edition of her Questions and Answers study guide was published in 1994, and newly revised editions have been published every year through the present. (Michelle passed the MBLEx in 2009.)
