MAKE IT YOUR PRIORITY Commit right now to passing the MBLEx and make it your first priority. Tell your friends and family you need their help. Ask them to support you by picking up extra responsibilities at home or by giving you the time and space you need to study quietly and consistently. Have them help you with study sessions. Put everything else on the back burner and focus, focus, focus. 2. REAPPLY FOR THE EXAM To retake the MBLEx, you must submit a new application online or by mail, along with a new application fee. Reapply now to ensure you stay motivated and focused on passing the exam. You will not be issued a new "Authorization to Test" until 30 days has elapsed from the date of the failed examination attempt. When you receive it, schedule your testing date. Don't put it off! Reapply now while the content is still fresh in your mind. 3. IDENTIFY AREAS OF WEAKNESS When you received your score for the MBLEx, you were given a numerical-scaled score total, as well as information indicating your performance in each content area. Review this information and determine your areas of weakness. Focus the majority of your study on these topic areas. • Abrasions • Absorption • Accessory organs • Acne • Acute • Animal parasites • Burns • Chronic • Clinical reasoning model • Contact dermatitis • Contagious skin disorder • Contracture scars • Cutaneous • Decubitus ulcers • Dermatitis • Dermatome • Dermis • Eczema • Epidermis • Excretion • Fissures • Fungal infections • General sense receptors • Hair • Herpes simplex • Incisions • Integumentary system • Keloid scars • Keratin • Keratinocyte • Lacerations • Melanin • Melanocyte • Nails • Neoplastic skin disorders • Nociceptor • Noncontagious inflammatory skin disorder • Papules • Pores • Pressure receptor • Protection • Psoriasis • Punctures • Pustules • Scar tissue • Sebaceous glands • Sebum • Sensory receptors • Skin • Skin injuries • Staphylococcal infections • Streptococcal infections • Sub-acute • Subcutaneous layer • Sudoriferous glands • Superficial fascia • Tactile stimulation • Temperature receptor • Temperature regulation • Touch deprivation • Touch receptor • Ulcers • Vesicles • Vibration receptor • Warts Terms are Tops! The terms below are based on those outlined by the Entry-Level Analysis Project (ELAP) for the Integumentary System. Review these terms and ask yourself, "Could I pick the definition for each of these terms out of a list? Could I give a basic definition off the top of my head?" If the answer is yes to both of these questions, you're in good shape already! One reason people fail the MBLEx is that they haven't mastered health-care and anatomical language. Make sure you know your terms for all topics! TIP! Prepare every day. Quiz yourself on previously learned material and strive to learn new material every day. This daily effort allows you to absorb information at a slow and regular pace, leading to better recall.
