FW: [Histonet] studying for ASCP certification exam

[Weems, Joyce]

I would suggest Freida Carson's books and work book and computer tests (if still available) and the NSH study guides. J

The NSH sells a set of study guides on histology (maybe 10 of them, on fixation, various special stain categories and the like), I think you will find them quite helpful to see how much you actually remember after reading the textbooks.

I definetly agree with the previous suggestions.  Those 3 books are in the top 5 of my collections.  Another book that might help you because of the illustrations (special stain color pictures on the test!) is:

Theory and Practice of Histological Techniques 5th edition edited by Bancroft and Gamble

Unfortunately it is rather pricey.


Another good standby because so many books seem to cite it (classic):

AFIP Laboratory Methods in Histotechnology latest edition is Prophet et.al. ISBN: 1-881041-00-X

Good luck with your test!
