From the ABMP Exam Coach home page, click the Getting Started bubble. There, you can read step-by-step directions on how to get started. Or, go exploring on your own. From the ABMP Exam Coach home page you can click the Study Subjects bubble to see the depth and breadth of information this test prep program offers. Each Subject is broken into various Topics, and each Topic has its relevant Terms (with definitions and audio pronunciations), Flash Cards, and unlimited Quizzes. As you near your licensing test date, you will want to ready yourself by taking ABMP Exam Coach practice exams. These tests mimic the MBLEx test with their 100 questions, comparably weighted content, and 110-minute time limit. We've created a real-world testing experience for you, so you're prepared for the real thing. Along the way, check how you're doing in the "My Progress" section.
You can view the material and take as many quizzes as you like until your ABMP Exam Coach subscription expires (view this information under "My Progress" at the top of your Exam Coach page). Each time you take a quiz, the program shuffles the test bank so that you see questions in different combinations to help you master the topic area.
Your ABMP Exam Coach subscription provides unlimited practice exams that simulate the format and content you will see on the MBLEx. One exam is available to use at a time; however, additional exams will accrue in your account every time you pass ten, 10-question quizzes, at 70% or higher. As you pass quizzes, you will see your available practice exam count increase over time within the Practice Exam section. In addition, your previously taken exams and their scores will be visible as well. Although you’ll have plenty of practice exams to use, successful MBLEx test takers spend most of their time in the quizzing section in order to practice with a larger pool of test questions. You have unlimited access to terms, definitions, flash cards, and quizzes until your ABMP Exam Coach subscription expires (view this information under My Progress at the top of your Exam Coach landing page).

Exams and Licensing
- My school hasn't taught me some of the content I see in ABMP Exam Coach. Do I need to know this content for the test?
- Why don't the subjects and topics on ABMP Exam Coach directly match the content outline of the MBLEx?
- What if my state doesn't use the MBLEx for licensing? Will ABMP Exam Coach prepare me for the exam used by my state?
- What resources were used in the development of ABMP Exam Coach?
With the exception of the section on Research Literacy, all of the content you encounter in ABMP Exam Coach could potentially be included on the MBLEx. Research literacy is being taught with greater frequency in schools across the country, and it may show up on the MBLEx in the future. ABMP Exam Coach addresses subjects and topics comprehensively. We give you a wide range of questions and come at content from a variety of different directions to help you prepare.
When we developed ABMP Exam Coach, we wanted it to be useful in a variety of settings. The content outline for the MBLEx groups topics into very big buckets. This is useful for final testing, but it doesn't match the way schools tend to teach subjects and topics. ABMP Exam Coach breaks content down into bite-size chunks so you can use the program to study for subjects while you are in school. The full-length practice examinations simulate the format, content, and content weighting used on the MBLEx. They will help you identify areas where you need additional study to be ready for the MBLEx.
While there are a few states that require a different test than the MBLEx, the test content is generally similar in nature. ABMP Exam Coach covers fundamental massage and bodywork content in a comprehensive manner to effectively prepare you to take any licensing exam.
ABMP Exam Coach was written by massage and bodywork educators and content experts using the same resources used to write test questions for the MBLEx and for the Entry-Level Analysis Project (ELAP). You can print a list of the resources here and obtain a content outline for the MBLEx here. The subjects and topics in ABMP Exam Coach were structured to also make the program useful to students in massage and bodywork training programs. The four practice examinations simulate the format, content, and content weighting used on the MBLEx.
