Hello i advise you to contact Dr Thomas if you are preparing for your ASCPi exam be it MLT or MLS.He is the reason i and my husband are very happy today

[@missashleighdee1313]

thank you so much for the video! I just graduated on May 2nd and I just scheduled my appointment to sit for the ASCP on May 31st! the anxiety is killing me but hopefully I will pass.

[@ReaNav]

You’re welcome! I hope you did well and good luck on your career ahead! Exciting times. 😊

[@roxannereynoldsnelson5513]

I brought my ASCPi study materials almost 8 years before attempting exam the first time. Want to know if anybody had that level of fear. I had several books and paid for LABCE 3 times but did nothin!!. I just wanted somebody to walk me through the preparation process or a study partner. Finally passed though and on my first attempt but just wondering if i my experience is unique.

[@j.louis512]

In a year i will be taking the ASCP I havent even started MLT Program but ima alrrady trying to CRAM EVERYTHING before I even get unto the program..i want to be prepared so thats why im on this comment section!

Hi Rea! I am in the first month of my CLS program and was wondering if you could create a video on effective study habits throughout the program? Thank you!

did you pass?

[@Lejat]

@@AnimeNlyft I DID!!

[@toutou8228]

Hi @Lejat, since you recently took the exam I figured you would be the right person to talk to. I took the ascp for the fourth time this pass monday and I failed it. I want to attempt to take it again. I really really need help and advice on passing. If I dont pass this last exam...I will no longer be eligible to take it. I dont want to give up. I have almost all the old books. (Harr, flashcards, success, boc, concise) How did you study? What materials did you use? I see they changed the exam alittle, should I buy the next books or is the old version ok?

[@Lejat]

@@toutou8228 I used a lot of labce, which is a lot harder than the ASCP, in my opinion. I don't think there is a need to use new textbooks. I had old versions and it was ok. I would also use wordsology.org (high yield notes), incredibly helpful!

[@anwarkamal8540]

The book you showed in the videos to us is enough to study and remember it ?

[@MarcyFluid]

I can not find the Success Clinical Laboratory Science book know where. It is not on Amazon

[@070209590]

I failed twice. The first time I have been told to buy a subscription from Medialab CE. I practiced the exam stimulation and I took the ASCP exam I failed. The second time I was told that I have to study the 5th edition of the BOC book. I studied when I went to the ASCP test again I didn't see a single question from the BOC book. Now, I am trying to find the ASCP questions bank. Some people tell me that you have to understand the concept. let me tell you this, there are thousands of organisms there is no way anyone knows all of them. If I practice the questions and I see them on the exam I would definitely know the answer. I know the basic knowledge of the lab because I am working in the lab.

[@ReaNav]

Hi, you can give the listed books on the description of the video a try, these were the resources that helped me.

[@moodyhavinfun]

If I have a bachelors in Biotechnology and I’m in an MEdical lab technician program that has an internship can I take the ASCP for lab technologist?

[@ReaNav]

Medical Lab Technician program is different from a lab Technologist or a Medical Lab Scientist program from where I am from, please look at the ASCP's website for MLS licensing, it depends on your State regulations as well.

[@yugeshiwaram9864]

You can but only after 2 years of experience in clinical lab , Check Route 2 !

Kindly ans me. .that how much clinical experience needed for this exam

Do you know how to retake the exam?

I wish I can help you, but I don’t know how that process is done, try going to the ASCP’s website for more information about it.

[@meishafam9129]

Do you recommend these books for the MLT (ASCP).... I know you used these for MLS

[@ReaNav]

I can't really say for sure since I did use it for MLS, not MLT. But if the MLT covers similar topics I'd say this book can definitely help you review.

[@meishafam9129]

Rea Nav thank you for your response. Also you have helped me a lot with the WBCs....

[@monicalynae2178]

Hi Meisha, I took the MLT (ASCP) in 2017. I used the Success Book, LABce, and Clinical Laboratory Science Review book (yellow& purple). I'll be taking the MLS (ASCP) exam in December. Good luck on your exam :)

[@meishafam9129]

@@monicalynae2178 thank you so much for your response. I have the Clinical Review one but the Success one looks promising. LABCE, they actually have a book?

[@monicalynae2178]

Labce is a website. www.labce.com It’s really helpful. You only need to “exam stimulator”.

[@RidingWithAurora]

Malaking tulong po talaga yung ciula? how about bottomline po?

[@ReaNav]

The best thing about bottomline is that it will give you memorization strategies through cartoons but it is incomplete, kulang yung information nya to prep for the ASCP, meanwhile the ciula book gives you intense review questions and bullet points of information for reviewing. It is a more complete and concise reviewer, yun nga lang wala sya nung cartoons. You can always make your own cartoons/charts to memorize things. Hope that helps.

[@RoshannasRhetoric]

Thanks for the info ! New sub here. Would u recommend getting the NEWEST edition of this book, or the green and yellow one you have???? SUCCESS book. They have a new 5th Edition.

[@ReaNav]

Thanks for the sub! The green and yellow book has plenty of information in it to get you a passing grade on the ASCP, as long as you truly use it. A newer edition sometimes is just a way to get more money out of people, without much difference from the previous edition. But having said that, I have not seen the new book so I can’t give you a comparative answer. What I truly know though is that the Green and Yellow one has more than enough information for you to pass the ASCP as long as you understand the questions and use it thoroughly as a reviewer. Goodluck! ❤️

[@mommycici8850]

Been looking for a video that could explain the process for me. I have an undergraduate degree in Microbiology but I am new to US, haven't had success in getting to an internship program, and I want to take the exam. Could you please help me with ideas on how I could get to an internship program. While preparing for the exams

[@ReaNav]

Depending on where you live in the US, different States have different pathways in getting licensed. If you take California as an example, you need to be in an internship program in order to take the ASCP. So try to start there search for CLS or medical lab science programs near me and get in touch with these programs. They would provide a lot more information than I can, since they are based locally where you live. You can also look at hospitals and see if they are hiring Clinical Lab Scientist or Medical Lab Scientist the name varies with different states, then work your way from there search how to get licensed in your State or you can apply for a processing/lab job just to get your foot in the door and know what you need to get to CLS school. Goodluck! ❤️

[@angelawairimu4883]

Hello Mommy cici I just came across your comment,am in the same situation you were in,did you manage to get an internship?am new in the US and I am looking into getting certified but I need lab experience first here in the us,did you manage to get an internship?

[@collinsonyuka4639]

Am planning to take my ASCP exam in December 2020 I have Bachelors in MLS and currently taking a post grad in Medical Physiology. what dom you advice???

[@ReaNav]

You should probably find books or resources to test yourself first to see if you are ready to take it. The review books especially the SUCCESS book can really allow you to get a good gauge of yourself. If you do great on those questions you should be ready to take the exam.

Hi! I am a biology major on the verge of graduation, and I am considering things to do in my gap year(s) before medical school. I was wondering if I could get your email, or if you could refer me to someone who can tell me about the feasibility and requirements of getting an acsp cert and working as a lab technician during my gap year. I would be very grateful for any help in this regard!

[@ReaNav]

That is actually a great idea because a lot of physicians have no idea how the lab works, it would be great experience and education for you, if you are going into medical school. Go into the NAACLS website they have a program search there wherever you are in the States they can show you available Med technician and Med lab Scientist programs in your area, from there you can contact the program director and ask specific questions regarding your situation. Best of luck to you!
