Greetings Gang 😈😜 Real talk: it’s been quiet in here, and that’s on me. There are 2,100 of you, all working toward the same goal: passing the ASCP. That’s way too many smart people to be studying alone. So starting today, I’m showing up in here every weekday with something to help you study, like helpful hint/tips, mini-quizzes, and exam traps. All you have to do is show up too. Your first job (it takes 10 seconds) is to comment below with: 1. Your exam date (if you have one, if not, just put the tentative month) 2. The subject you dread most I’ll reply to every single one. The subject that gets the most votes will be the topic of my next post. If you want to go all in, my paid community kicks off 7 days of live study sessions on November 1st, one subject per day. Members also get my ultimate mycology chart, thalassemias and anemias quick guide and the bacteriology buzzwords cheat sheet. 👉🏽 Join here: https://www.skool.com/microscopeviews Let’s get it poppin in here, Gang! — Marilyn

Hello my little Gang of Nasties 😈😜🦠 Just wanted to drop this here for anyone who’s in the last month (or maybe 2-3 months out) grind before their ASCP exam. I took my exam August 6th, 2016 and passed on the first try, so if you’re feeling overwhelmed, let us all take a deep breath! Here’s exactly what I did in the final 4 weeks: 🧪 DAILY: 50 Practice Questions Every single day, no excuses. I did at least 50 practice questions on LabCE. I didn’t just click through either. I would do them in review mode and for the ones I got incorrect, I would go through every single answer choice and figure out WHY I chose the incorrect answer. This is a form of studying the theory! (Ditch your notebooks, ditch all the flashcards…unless you find them life-changing) Just focus on doing the practice questions and using THOSE as your study guide. 📚 WEEKLY: 1 Full-Length Exam Each week, I set aside a day (usually a Friday) to do a full-length ASCP-style exam. I took it under test conditions (quiet room, timed, no distractions). Then I spent the next day reviewing: - Weakest subjects - Patterns in what tripped me up - Random facts or values I kept forgetting 🔁 Repetition = Retention LabCE was my best friend. I didn’t just do questions… I HAMMERED THEM HOES OUT, and drilled my brain until certain topics finally stuck. Repetition built my confidence. Review made me sharp. 🙏🏽 Final Thoughts You DO NOT NEED to study everything, but you DO need to be consistent. Don’t just run through the questions… TRAIN for this test. Questions, review, repeat. That’s the formula. You’ve got this. Drop any questions below!⬇️ If you’re looking for more resources or group study… head over to the paid community where we have weekly study sessions! If you’re looking for a more personalize study strategy, message me “PASS” here on Skool, and we can set up a call to discuss your needs!
