Hello I am a fresh BS MLT graduate and planning to prepare for the ASCP exam. Is MLT the same as MLS, or is there any difference between them for ASCP eligibility? Thank you.

Guys, I am so excited to announce the SICKLE CELL AWARENESS MONTH 2026 LIMITED EDITION TEE COLLECTION IS HERE! If you don't already know, September is Sickle Cell Awareness Month, and this collection was created to help spark conversations, increase awareness, and support the Sickle Cell community. "Because sometimes when you have sickle cell, you can feel really alone. Sometimes I feel alone and like nobody really gets what I’m going through. And I feel like if there were other red blood cells holding hands with the sickle cells, it could kind of represent that feeling of, 'I may not understand your pain, but I’m still here for you.' Like, I may not know exactly what you’re going through, but you don’t have to go through it alone. I don’t know if that makes sense, but that’s kind of the feeling I was thinking about." - Fatima, Sickle Cell Warrior I loved the description of Fatima's feelings, and it inspired this little caricature that we rendered together. Please support by purchasing one or more T-shirts in honor of Sickle Cell Awareness month. 100% of the proceeds from the Sickle Cell Awareness Month 2026 | LIMITED Edition Tee will go to the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America to continue their education, advocacy and efforts to provide care and resources to those with Sickle Cell. Every shirt purchased is an opportunity to wear the message, spread awareness, and support a cause that matters. PHOTO CREDIT: A special thank you to Mary E. for the incredible microscopic Sickle Cell photo featured on the back of some of the T-shirts. Thank you! This is a LIMITED EDITION DROP. Ends September 30th. Shop the Sickle Cell Awareness Month 2026 Limited Edition Tee Collection here: https://microscopeviews.myshopify.com

Hi everyone. Im taking my ASCP exam in September. I need advice. For those who have passed. I used polinsky flash card and the purple book. LabCe I have been scoring 66% or higher on the adaptive testing with an average difficulty of 6.22. I'm so nervous; it's killing me. Friend of mine took it, passed, but said it was more like the ASCP practice test. Which makes me extremely nervous because I really didn't take any time on that dang book. Need advice and good vibes.

Is there anybody preparing for M ASCP ?
