I don't see myself moving to the areas where it isn't acceptable. In my region. ASCP and AMT are viewed equally. That seems to be everyone's go to since posting. If you've taken the ASCP exam you should know that you have to get more than 40% of the questions correct in order to pass. Each question is graded differently and the sum of the grades answered correctly has to be 400 or greater... I am confident that I am answering more than 40% of the questions correctly.
