I just purchased the fourth addition after having bought and lost the third edition. I am currently studying to take the ASCP MLS exam this month; and I really liked the previous edition. After I take the test I'll come back on here and give a thorough book review as well as a review of the exam. I'll be posting on all of the major book review sites and on indeed.com, in large part to give prospective ASCP exam applicants a foundation in which to build their studying. I'm doing this because I felt that information regarding ASCP MLS exam prep was sorely lacking on the internet. Although, there is an excellent website that provides nice review notes as well as other exam information. Just google "ASCP wordsology" and the site will be the first one that comes up.I have had this book not more than 5-6 hours and my preliminary analysis is that this is a great resource, and provides excellent feedback. I used the CD resource a few hours ago to take a couple of quizzes. My goal is to better prepare for lab results associated with disease states, or vice versa. So, I hoped that the CD resources would concentrate in that area. I can tell that the quizzes are excellent. You can arrange your own quizzes by subject and difficulty level. The level 3 difficulty quizzes did not disappoint. They were heavily geared towards lab results associated with disease states; and that's exactly what I wanted. I was initially worried that some formatting may had been changed in regards to the previous editions, but it appears that this book as has went above and beyond what the previous editions have presented. I will go in to more detail after the exam. Stay tuned, after January 17 I'll be back!Good luck to all of you taking the ASCP MLS exam soon!
I have been an MLT for many years, and decided to go back to school for my Bachelor's in Medical Technology. I thought after 18 years, I knew a lot of things. Well, after purchasing this book I realized how much I didn't know. There is so much information in here, covering all disciplines of lab practice- from phlebotomy and specimen collection, to Micro(all of your favorite manual methods), to Genetics. The questions range from your basic lab knowledge, to obscure formulas and "old fashioned" test methods. They always say you should understand the principles of a test, not just how to press run. This is a very comprehensive and thorough study guide, and I poked in and out of it for a couple months, being a little hesitant to sit for the boards. Apparently I learned a few things studying from this book because I passed my MLS exam on the first try. I would recommend this book, as you never know what will be on the board exams, because each test is tailored to the individual taking it based on previous answers, so you never know what you will get. Best to be prepared, you can never know too much. Good read!
I love this review. The explanations are on the same page as the questions. You can cover the answers to the right and then check your answers before turning the page. No flipping to the back to find an explanation to a question you're having problems with.
your teachers can't cover everything but expect you to know it all when it come time for the tests. this book causes you to think in multiple ways and take into consideration small facts that end up being very important
I am finishing up my MLT degree, so I will soon be eligible to sit for the certification exam. This book is an excellent study guide. It has great questions, and I love that the answers are on the same page, so you dont have to search for them. I definitely recommend it.
This book was very useful. I recommend it for anyone taking ASCP certification for MLS. It is an extensive review. I read only this book and was able to pass at my 1st attempt. It's been 5 yrs since I graduated, and have not practiced for the last 2 yrs. Great book!
Whether you're a student or an instructor, this book has amazingly well-constructed MCQs that covers the most important learning objectives in the CLS 6 different specialties. I especially love the comprehensive explanation of the correct answer as well as the explanation of the reasons behind exclusion of other distractors in the MCQ choices.
Great book so far. Definitely not going to be the sole source for MLT exam studying, but it's really really good accessory study material. The CD is a little bare as far as the graphics go, but it's loaded with questions.
