I'm currently typing this as I'm walking out of the testing center. lol. That experience made me question if I was fit for this career, but I ended up passing, first try. THANK YOU for all the resources and laughs! I coundn't have passed my MLS exam without them.

Greetings Gang 🤩 August is almost here, and I wanted to check in with everyone. I know a lot of us are graduating, finishing clinicals, starting new jobs, or really locking in for the ASCP or AMT exam. This is such an exciting (and sometimes stressful) time, and I just wanted to see where everyone is at. 🫶🏽 How are you feeling about your studying (or life right now)? 🔬 What subject are you spending the most time on right now? 🎓 Have you graduated yet, or are you still in school? 🫣 If you're testing soon, when's your exam? Also... 👀 ASCP August is almost here! I've been planning something really fun to celebrate all of the hard work you all have been putting in. Throughout August, I'll be doing giveaways to help students on their journey to becoming MLSs and MLTs. I'll be sharing all of the prizes and entry details very soon! One important thing: The giveaways are exclusive to members of the Microscope Views Inner Circle. That's where I'll be posting all of the details, announcing winners, hosting our live study sessions, and sharing everything for ASCP August. If you've been thinking about joining the Inner Circle, now is the perfect time so you don't miss out. Join HERE 🚨 Comment with your updates below (if you feel comfortable). I love seeing everyone's progress, and it's encouraging for everyone to see that we're all working toward the same goal. Let's cheer each other on as we head into August! 🥳 xoxo, Marilyn

Just finished my clinicals at New York Presbyterian and Mt. Sinai and Clinical Training as well and I need to drill down and focus on passing the ASCP MLS exam with a clear plan. I need to know how this works here. Thank you Marilyn for your You Tube 30 days of... Was so good, it brought me here. :))) Is there a membership package that would be most useful for me? 🙃

I passed!!! 🎉 I have NO idea how! Does not feel real..... That test was... I don't even know what that test was. I feel like I dissociated through the entire exam. The only thing I kept whispering to myself was, "Think it through," just like Marilyn @marilynthescientist always says. Meanwhile, my internal monologue was just the F-word every two minutes. 😂 I was fully convinced I was failing the entire time!!! I mean THE WHOLE TIME. I almost walked out🤣 I felt despair self-deprecation you name it but..... I clicked Submit, a few words I barely even comprehended appeared on the screen, and then I saw PASS. Ten weeks of nonstop studying paid off! Afterthoughts: I despised my program director and basically lived at school five days a week, 8 hours a day for two and a half years. It still feels like a fever dream. But somehow I made it through......

I passed the ASCP Exam on the 1st try!!!
