Hi Jessica,

When I sat for the exam ~4 years ago, there were quite a lot of special
stain related questions. My main study guide was Carson, so if you are very
familiar with her text you should be pretty well off. Being able to
identify stains, tissue types, and troubleshoot a given stain I would say
are all valuable.

Also, remember to heed the "adaptive" nature of the test (you can find more
on that by searching the archives). From speaking to others, there is
generally a consensus that an inverse relationship exists between how hard
one felt the test was and a passing score. Those who felt like the
questions were extremely difficult, tend to pass because they are answering
higher level questions.

Good luck! I think you'll be fine...

-Bryan
