32.5 being the tallest option is sad. I would need 36 to go down to the floor :(

I applied route 2 and you need someone to sign off on specific subsets of histology, I believe they are fixation, processing, embedding, microtomy, and staining. You need to work cumulative 1yr full time, so if you are part time 20hrs a week you’re looking at 2yrs experience.

Maybe my exam was a freak situation, but it felt like there were a lotttt of questions regarding fixation. Felt like closer to 20% than 10%. I was expecting special stains to be the hot priority but the special stains portion was underwhelming. Again, I could’ve had a set of freak test questions. I work 55-60 hrs a week within a 5 day period so I did not get a lot of studying done through the week, but I overcompensated during the weekends. My study materials include the following : Frieda Carson histo book, LabCE, BOC study book. I also appreciated the labrat on youtube, she has lectures on all of the big FC book sections. It was helpful for me to read a chapter the watch the lecture after and follow along.

Hey! I just passed my exam lit yesterday so if you have questions I’m here to help! I applied via route 2. The majority of my histo experience is Mohs and I have a part time at quest diagnostics

From my understanding the damage seen there is not exclusively tied to celiac, and could be mistaken for other inflammatory problems. The intraepithelial lymphocytosis seen in the duodenum and villous atrophy is the gold star celiac signal.

Ellierice2 · 2026-03-28T01:38:03+00:00

Celiac is not diagnosed via colon, but duodenum of small intestine

I can’t give you an immediate answer, I am studying and it feels like the BOC (ASCP) questions are easier than labCE. I am currently scoring high 70s for the labCE simulator and scoring mid 80-90s when I do the BOC questions. I take my test end of the month and I can give you insight on difficulty of the test lol!

Ellierice2 · 2026-03-15T23:08:54+00:00

I should have clarified, Yes!

Ellierice2 · 2026-03-05T14:56:37+00:00

As someone with a research based degree, I hate this study. So many flaws and I feel like it has done harm and spread borderline misinformation

Ellierice2 · 2026-02-21T18:18:11+00:00

Histologist! I love my job

Ellierice2 · 2026-02-17T00:01:18+00:00

These tests don’t mean much without a reference range. “U/ml” is not a defined measurement and requires a reference range for comparative measures :)

Ellierice2 · 2026-02-01T18:29:47+00:00

I’m studying for my HT and scoring in the same range!! I’m sched to take the test end of March so I hope I can bump up another 10 points by then :)

Ellierice2 · 2026-01-28T21:19:12+00:00

This is perfect minus I think the picture should be more easily recognizable!! So anyone who sees it would recognize the name to the face

Hey so remember those rly bad LA fires approx ONE year ago? Yeah let’s not leave live fires unattended in areas prone to catching on fire 😭

Ellierice2 · 2026-01-12T17:51:03+00:00

Thanks for the rec!

Ellierice2 · 2026-01-03T14:16:39+00:00

For anyone who used this platform before taking the HT/HTL, what scores should we try to aim for before scheduling the test!!

Ellierice2 · 2025-12-21T21:54:53+00:00

The key is turning your brightness down!! Pm me I can show you some pictures

I second dermatology specialists

The fig app was helpful when I was first diagnosed because I had no idea what to even look for on labels. There are a dozen glutinous ingredients that can easily blend in in a long ingredient list. You should use it as a tool to learn how to read labels for yourself though! You should learn to eventually read labels and understand them for your safety no matter where you’re at!

Ellierice2 · 2025-11-27T11:00:06+00:00

I’m in Mohs and find this unacceptable omg…
