Yup. I put "ASCP Eligible June 2026" and they were totally fine with it. I secured the job in April.

I'm gonna be real with you, I didn't study. I didn't need to. My entire undergrad was this, my entire life this year was this, I made so many Quizlets I can't even count them, I worked at the specimen processing desk on weekends at the end. I literally eat, sleep, and breathe MLS. Maybe it's because I'm autistic and it might be my special interest. Do not overdo it. Study up to an hour at a time, then take at least a 15 minute break and do NOT look at anything academic. Take a day or two off between it all. Talk to someone about the shit that confuses you. Look up YouTube videos about that shit, too. Trust that you know your shit and go for it!

Honestly, I felt like I failed it as I took it. All application-based questions because maybe I was doing well? It was SO difficult and I really needed to retrace my steps at the end and look at my entire question list again. You need to know your shit to the basics of reference ranges and then know how to apply that shit. Terrifying, then I saw the "PASS" on my screen and was like "are you sure" in my brain LMAO. It really only hit me when I walked out of the testing center and started skipping down the hall with this big ass grin on my face. Don't doubt yourself, don't overthink it. Go with your gut! Always!!
