How’s to proceed
Hey y’all idk if this is the right place to ask this question but I am currently on the hunt for a job since I passed my exam earlier this year. I was interviewed but this one hospital via teams and I think the it went well. Long story short, they want me to come in and take a tour of the lab and also have a “peer interview” with their Tech Specialist and Technical Lead. Idk how to prep for this interview like should focus more on skill based questions they might ask me or what? I really want to get this job but idk if they want me since they said I have no actual lab experience except the rotations I did during school. Any help/tips will help. thx ☺️
How’s to proceed
ASCP EXAM ROUND 2
My MLS exam is on the 21st of this month. I’ve been very blocked and i need to pass this time because it’s my second time applying. Because I don’t have much time left, i’m thinking of using the LSU purple and gold book, and the Valerie Polanski Cards. I’ve tried using the quick compendium book but i see a lot of pages and info and get overwhelmed. I also have LabCe that when i study a section and do questions on LabCe on it, I score good. Any recommendations or tips are welcomed…😭

Heyy!!! I was in the SAME EXACT BOAT as you in February! I also failed my first attempt 🥲 I would suggest keep on doing LabCE questions and focus on you weak areas you noticed you scored low on you first try (for my it was hematology) and even if you just do 25-50 per day rn since you kinda got some time to study. Then maybe like a full adaptive exam on Mondays and Fridays (maybe Wednesday) to see how you are doing. I would also use the Polanski cards ( and the LSU book) as supplemental material.
❓Reference Ranges 🙄🤷🏽‍♀️
Greetings Gang, We've had a few people pass their exams this week and one thing I noticed was that normal reference ranges weren't always been included next to CBC indices (or other questions involving lab results and disease state correlations). An excellent resource from the ASCP itself, is the ASCP Exam Content Outline. If you scroll down to about page 14, you'll find reference ranges for all indices tested on the exam. Here is the link to the newest version of the exam content outline ⬇️ https://ascpcontentwebsite.blob.core.windows.net/boccontent/docs/default-source/explore-credentials/content-guidelines/ascp_ascpi_mls_content_guideline.pdf?sfvrsn=3f02224_1 Attached are screenshots from the exam content outline. Hope this helps! - Marilyn

For BB I recommend “Blood Bank Guy” on YouTube. He’s kinda high school history teacher funny but the content he shares is key for blood banking especially the antibody ID panels!! As for micro…. I’d say pray to the microbes 😂 bc fr I’d say do some flow charts and actually memorize (ik 😭🔫) the types of tests the bacteria is POS for. I like YouTube videos so I’d say just look up gram+/- bacteria to see what you like. For MVP (Mycology, Virology, Parasitology) I would HIGHLY recommend go hard on image recognition especially for mycology (imo).
