[Histonet] RE: HTL Certification

[Beth Cox]

Hi Cecy,

I recommend the Michigan Society of Histotech's HT/HTL Study Workbook.  
This will take you through everything you need for the HTL in an 
organized and clear manner (much better than the ASCP outline).  Note 
that this is a workbook that you fill in, not a question/answer book.  
It has forms and charts to lead you through all your study.  It will 
help you understand the info, much better than just memorizing.

I think the cost is $25.  you can order one at:   www.mihisto.org

Hello everyone,

I'm starting to prepare for my HTL certification (I am very nervous
and anxious but also very excited about this decision to go for it).

I was just curious to know how you guys prepared for it, and how long it
took for you to prepare before taking the test. Will 6 months preparation
be enough? (I know that may depend on the individual; it's just that I
had my Masters over 10 years ago and I haven't studied this much since
then).

I have Freida L. Carson's 3rd Edition book -- quite daunting to memorize --
but the outline ASCP  has provided for study seems to be helpful. Do you
have any other book/study aid suggestions?

Thank you in advance for your input and advice!
C.A.
