test composed of one hundred multiple choice questions. Furthermore, it must be taken at a test center in one of the fifty United States. When you pass the written exam, you are not yet a massage therapist. Rather, you have a license to become a massage therapist. There are many more steps you will encounter as you move along the entire hiring process. In a little bit, I will give you a brief overview of what you will hear in this course. Before I do, though, I want to tell you about what you can expect as we go through the material together. Thank you, again, for your interest in the course, and for your desire to help people increase their overall wellbeing through massage therapy. If you are ready, let’s begin.
COURSE CONVENTIONS AND CONTENT Welcome to the section on the course conventions and content! When I say course conventions, I mean how I will present the course material to you. The course is divided up into several chapters, with many of those chapters being split up into smaller sections. Each time I start a new section or chapter, I will give you its name. During the course, I will present small quizzes to you. You will find the quiz material in the Follow-Along PDF Manual. I will discuss that a bit later. These quizzes are used to help you learn the material and retain the information. Take the quiz and consult the answer key to see how well you understand the material. Alternatively, I will discuss the correct answers in the lectures, so you can pause the audio, take the quiz in the PDF manual, and then listen for the correct answers. Quizzes are typically found near the end of a chapter and consist of ten questions. To help you summarize and retain as much information as possible, I will finish every chapter with a list of takeaways the most important points to remember from the chapter. There will typically be ten of these important points. At the end of short chapters, though, I may limit it to five. I addition to quizzes, each Audio Learn test preparation course comes with a final exam that you will find in the Follow along PDF Manual. The exam has one hundred questions
