The goal here at Massage Exam Academy is to help anyone who dreams of being a massage therapist make that dream a reality. When English is your second language, it makes the MBLEx exam even more difficult to pass, which puts your dream in jeopardy.
The good news is that many Massage Exam Academy members speak other languages and go on to pass their exams. We have found that those who use the program and work on their English language skills obtain the best results. I want to thank Kathleen, or Kat, for helping me with this post. Kat is a question writer here at Massage Exam Academy. She is a non-native English speaker and has taken and passed! I cannot think of anyone better to offer you guidance as you prepare for the MBLEx.
Oftentimes, the thought of taking an exam heightens your stress and anxiety levels on its own, let alone the added pressure of taking it in a foreign language. The best way to combat these anxious feelings is simple: be prepared! Yes, this seems obvious, but plenty of people try to shortcut learning English and fail their MBLEx exam. Trust meโyou will feel more confident walking into the test if you have worked on your English comprehension and your therapeutic massage knowledge.
You need to have the right mindset for the reasons you are learning English. Learning English should not be seen as a hurdle; rather, it provides new possibilities and opportunities for your future and serves as a stepping stone for you. Taking an exam in English should be seen as being a step closer to passing your exam, getting your massage license, and having a successful professional massage career in the United States.
Before digging in to complicated words, it is very helpful to review basic terminology. This includes things such as identifying root words, prefixes, and suffixes. Examples of how these terms may be used: Unilateral pain is pain felt on one side of the body.
