Don't panic! 4 months should be plenty of time to study if you're consistent. That's roughly what I had. I would start by finding the content outlines for those exams so you know exactly what you're expected to know for the exams. Study each subject for at least a week and begin with high yield subjects and concepts. My study routine was basically: 1. Take notes over certain topic using PowerPoints from school and purple and gold book 2. Take a 25 or 50 question selected areas exam on review mode with LabCE over the topic(s) that I just studied, for example, microcytic anemia. 3. Write down questions that I missed or guessed on with the explanation. 4. After studying for a couple weeks take a mock exam on LabCE to see your progress overall. 5. For calculations and reference ranges I wrote them down over and over until I remembered them. I hope this helps! :)

I get what you mean! I personally felt that medialab/labce questions were more complex. The actual exam felt more straightforward. But at the same time, there were A LOT of questions I had to make good guesses on. If the exam felt "easy" most of the way through, you probably weren't getting higher level questions correct. Go with your first answer and don't change it unless you know 100% that it's something else. I only changed 2 of my answers and passed. The good thing is, now you're familiar with how the questions are asked and know what to expect for next time. And when you get your scores back you'll know exactly what areas to study some more. And I highly recommend the wordsology website too if you haven't used it yet. You'll definitely pass the next time! :)

@Justina LeSassier No problem!

From what I've been told, it's not worth it but it might depend on the place you live/where you will work at. Most job listings at hospitals near me specify having either ASCP or AMT and don't prefer one over the other, just as long as you're certified in some way.

@Rupesh Yadav Here is ascp's official eligibility quiz: https://www.ascp.org/boc/explore-credentials/eligibility-pathways/eligibility-assistant And here is amt's: https://americanmedtech.org/certification/get-certified

Congrats! 🥳
