NCBTMB INTRODUCES NEW ONLINE PRACTICE EXAM
Tuesday, July 21st, 2009he National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB) announced today the release of its new online practice exam, developed to help schools prepare students for success on the National Certification Examination (NCE).
The new preparatory exam simulates the actual NCE experience, helping to reduce test-taking anxiety by familiarizing students with computer-based testing. It allows them to acquaint themselves with the format, terminology and types of questions they can expect when taking the NCE. Also, it serves as an additional learning opportunity by providing explanations for both correct and incorrect answers. The test is timed, like the NCE, and can be taken up to three times for a single $20 fee.
NCBTMB recommends partnering the online practice exam with its newly revised study guide. The study guide helps prepare candidates for the NCE by sharpening their study skills and providing sample questions and answers. The guide, reduced in price to $29.95, includes the types of questions to expect on the exam, tips for what to do before, during and after the exam, and proven test-taking strategies.
The practice exam and study guide are available for purchase on NCBTMB’s website, www.ncbtmb.org, in the Hot Topics area.
