Board of Registry Study Guide: Clinical Laboratory Certification Examinations

This book was excellent. It has questions for MLT's and for MT's. When I took my ASCP certification test for my MLT EVERY QUESTION WAS FROM THIS BOOK!!! I went back to college and got my BA (MT) and knew that it had questions for MT's too, so I went back and memorized every question in this book (There are usually between 300-400 questions per section). When I took my MT ASCP certification test it was not the same story, but I found out that there is now a new addition. I did pass my certification both times (MLT and MT) with this book, but there is a newer edition. So if you can answer all the questions in this book and know why they are the answer that they are then you should not have a problem on a registry test, but just know that there is a NEWER edition and if you can memorize that book, those questions are probably the ones that you will see on the ASCP test.

I didn't quite realise that this was a 1996 edition when I purchased this book to study for my 2013 MLT exam. Therefore some of the material is a bit outdated. However, there are still some really good questions to help with the preparations. I am using this book in conjunction with some other modern resources which will help with the boards certification exam. Not necessarily a good stand a lone book but a good resource to practice through, nonetheless.

If this was the most recent version I would probably have rated it differently but just spend the extra bucks and get the 5th edition. A lot of questions on this review book cover areas that are no longer tested on and no explanations are given for the answers chosen. This is nothing like the ASCP Board exam. This basically tests your knowledge and the Board exam is more of a "What would you do next basis?"

This was a great book I needed for one of my programs I was taking.

This book is full of real exam questions from the Board certification exam, however there are no explanations for any of the answers. Works well for a practice exam situation, but if you want something to really help you study i suggest "Clinical Laboratory Science Review, A Bottom Line Approach"

If you want lots of questions to practice with than you will love having this, however wrong and right answers are not explained. I used the study cards more often and the online practice questions were of more use.

These may be the right kind of questions needed to be studied... but this book is not very conducive to studying because there are no justifications of the answers... partially helpful, but cumbersome to learn from.

This was a really good book to use when studying for certification testing. I would recommend it.
