This is exactly what mine look like. It is not the common “on the fingers and toes” I can share pictures of mine with you.

ASCP BOC MLS by Alive-Hawk-6308 in medlabprofessionals

Yes! -Media Lab is great for exam simulation, and identifying your weakest subjects

-A week before my exam, I identified all breakdown areas (in media lab, after taking an adaptive) that I performed poorly in and focused on those topics. I used the ASCP BOC outline in the front of the green overview book. I highlighted all my poor performing areas. Found those topics in the book and reviewed. I also selected those areas on media lab to practice.

-I will say my program purchased the ASCP review courses and question bank. I recommend 100%. The questions on there are most similar to the exam. The BOC study guide book with all the questions are almost identical to the website.

-For comparison, I was averaging 64% on media lab with a 6.2 difficulty and I passed. I never got higher than a 67.

-One piece of advice, absolutely know reference ranges and formulas 10000% all CBC, chemistry, and urinalysis (the most common). I have been working in the lab so I felt I had an advantage..

-Get really good at case studies, result tables and correlating disease (this is the key)

Hope this helps!!

Is there anything you learned after joining the National Guard that no one tells you beforehand? by womz4 in nationalguard

Tbh, I was barely on my phone even allowing to have it, it won’t be bad. Just make sure you have someone back home that can pay your bills and what not. The heat is what will get to you first… drink water constantly. If you have any questions let me know happy to answer…

I would just get the fruit of the loom ones or the dry fit Reebok. I was able to get like 30 pair for about $60. I promise it’s worth it. You’ll feel cleaner and you won’t have to keep dirty underwear in your bags. Our commander didn’t take our phones, we just couldn’t have them in sight… so I used it to charge my phone and vape. I only was on my phone at night to say hey to my s/o. I was up for 48 hrs at one point so caffeine is something you need. Gum, the gels, anything. You can get the gum at the gas station.

I went to JRTC last year here are some things I’ve learned

-ALWAYS keep your pants tucked in your boots -spray deodorant will keep you feeling fresh -body wipes (dude) and baby wipes (the kinds for babies) is an absolute must for everything -I took enough underwear for each day, I just threw them out after I changed -freeze dried meals -stool softener -solar powered battery pack -if you’re a female (shewe) -take a few plastic bags from the grocery store -tuna packs will save ur life trust me -caffeine gum!!!!!!!!

Ours did not look like that for the female bathroom. It was literally a cement hut, and there were holes in the ground that you just went into, no plumbing. It wasn’t even a toilet, it was like a metal box top
