[Histonet] ascp exam

[Brandi Higgins]

Hello,

For those of you who are ASCP certified, either HT or HTL, did many of you
have to take the exam more than once?  I have not yet sat for the exam, but
I see the pass rate is low, and average score is usually just slightly above
the pass line.  I have read a lot of comments on some message boards saying
people don't even recognize the material in a lot of the questions, and how
the images of stains are of very poor quality.  I am just wondering if most
of the people who don't pass are people who think because they work in a lab
they will be able to pass the exam, and as a result they don't study for it
the first time.  Or, is it really that difficult and many people study hard
but still cannot pass it.  Any comments welcome!  Thanks!
