The Massage Therapy State Exam

How to study for the massage therapy state exam for your license is pretty much the same as studying for a class exam, except there is a lot more material to study and you get all of it on one test instead of once a week.

The written test will be a long one, covering material from day one of your massage therapy class until the final class day. there will be around 200 or so questions, depending on your state.

In Texas, we had to bring number two pencils and bubble our answers in on a separate answer sheet. The test information that the state mailed me a few weeks prior to the exam stated I would be given three hours to take the test. I took my time and went over all of my answers and I was out the door in 65 minutes. I was so familiar with all of the material that I was eager to answer the questions and go home.

There are some wonderful state testing study guides online.

I purchased a set of two for the Texas state test for $79 and they were so helpful. I took them everywhere I went for four months and studied them over and over.

Never let a day go by that you don't do some studying for your state exam. Start studying right away, as soon as you finish school. Do not wait until a few weeks before the test to begin studying.

When you are studying, focus and pay attention to each study question and choose the most likely answer. Do not read too deeply into the question or look for trick questions. They are not set up like that. I kept expecting trick questions, but they were not there.

Share how to study for the massage therapy state exam with a friend or two and get together once a week and quiz each other. It is a great way to bond with a friend and get the help and support you need for your state exam.

Best wishes as you take your state exam.
