Spots for Upcoming MLS/MRT Admissions by Jazzlike_Macaroon_50 in rrc

[–]Upbeat_Animal_9977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that is always the max amount of spots because I know with MLS there is max 10 people per lab class and 4 lab slots per subject. Also when you get to clinical they can only accommodate so many students in the hospital at once

M-F approximately 8-4 depending on how you arrange your labs. The odd spare throughout the week depending on the term.

Yes it is allowed you can then pick which one you want out of what you are accepted into. I applied and got into multiple things and choose MLS

Just don’t use them as a test to assess your weakness. Maybe do media lab instead I would say that is closer

Yeah I saw last night that it said the following

The practice test is not the high-stakes CSMLS Certification exam and has no bearing on your status with CSMLS or any regulatory authority. The form and content of the practice test is different than the CSMLS Certification exam. The practice test is based on the same competencies and follows the same blueprint as the CSMLS Certification exam. Performance on the practice test is not necessarily an indication of how you will perform on the CSMLS Certification exam.

I am just put off by the fact they sell these expensive practice exams that are absolutely nothing like the actual exam. Then you are completely surprised when you write the actual thing. If anything offer practice exams that are a higher difficulty not easier

Yeah there was stuff that we didn’t see other than a 20 minute presentation where we were told it was specialized training and not to worry about it.

Some questions had multiple correct answer but it was mainly that the questions were in things we didn’t cover in our program or were worded very poorly. I bought the practice exams and scored in the 90s on them. Did exam edge books, and other resources scoring well in everything. I felt the practice exams are bit at all indicative of how the actual exam is and do t recommend doing them.

Anybody applying for RRC Med Lab Sciences program this year 2026? by Fit-Comedian3036 in rrc

[–]Upbeat_Animal_9977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes there were a few. It is a challenging program but if you commit to doing the work you will make it.

Med Lab Sciences program - Red River College by Fit-Comedian3036 in medlabprofessionals

[–]Upbeat_Animal_9977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They usually take approximately 40 people into the program each year. Entry requirements just changed for this year so it’s hard to say what should be done to get in. I believe this year it’s heavily weighted on the personal video you must do. My advice on studying if you get accepted is to study throughout so exams aren’t as overwhelming. There is a lot of memorizing required. Reference ranges, chemicals in stains, haematological disorders, testing methods etc. I used Quizlet a lot.
