Hi guys, I'm sharing my experience with my recent exam, which focused on blood banking and microbiology. The questions weren't necessarily difficult, but I struggled with understanding the English language, as it's not my first language. The answers were often very similar, which threw me off. When I was studying for 3 months, I found the process really challenging. I'd translate each question, recall the concept, apply it, and then translate the options to check my answer. It was a lot to handle, and I got frustrated at times. Now, I feel like not trying again since not only it could be a loss of money and I'm unsure whether to start studying again immediately or take a break to let my frustration settle. On one hand, I worry that delaying my studies will cause me to forget the little I know, which could put me at a disadvantage. On the other hand, diving back in without addressing my weaknesses and frustrations might not be the most effective approach. I don't know what to do!!!??? One thing I know for sure is that next time I am studying, I will study with Marilyn every Sunday. I feel like I reallyneed to study with somebody else.

Is it worth it to take both the AMT and ASCP MLT? I will be taking the ASCP MLT, but is there any benefit to also doing the AMT?

I cannot express how thankful I am for joining this community! After I graduated with my bachelors, I thought I had the boards in the bag, I failed. Looking for different ways to study, my coworker told me about these 30 days of ASCP videos on Facebook. I decided to pay for the extra weekly study sessions, (folder of past recorded sessions) and classroom materials. I listened to a study session almost every day, it changed the way I study completely. I learned so much more here than I did through college! I worked as an MLT for 13 years, and Marilyn has made me realize just how great this profession is again!! 😊
