Board of Certification Study Guide for Clinical Laboratory Certification Examinations, 5th Edition (BOR Study Guides) 5th Edition

Very useful

Buy this here and not from the BOC web sight or from your college book store. This was the best deal I could find. It is way more expensive on their web sight. Also you can resell it for a decent price one you have taken your boards especially if you don't mark in it to much. Although I did to help me study. But if you just got your associates as an MLT and plan to go back to school to become an MT with a bachelors degree, keep the book because its the same one for both tests.

I can honestly say as someone who completed my bachelor's in medical laboratory science, this book served as a great foundation for key concepts and as a refresher. Thanks, and good luck to all of you!

As someone who hasn't studied much for the MLT exam, I've found this book useful so far. Any new knowledge is good knowledge. The little I have studied all came from digital pdf books, so it's nice to have something I can physically flip throughOverall recommend. Even if the book doesn't have questions that are identical to what's going to be on the test, it at least gives you an idea of what they consider is important, and includes explanations as to why that's the correct answer (or why other choices were incorrect), again giving you an idea of what they consider to be importantIf you haven't started studying yet, I'd say this is as good a starting point as anyI've worked in a clinical testing lab for the last 2 years, but am not certified. I also have a BS in Biological Sciences. I already knew a good bit of answers from personal knowledge, though didn't know any of the law ones really. It's been a good refresher and teacher for me

Excellent textbook if you're studying for your MT or MLT certification, it's the main book you need to study. Very comprehensive as far as the topics it covers, and easy to understand. The book explains why the correct answer is correct which is very helpful. It is pricey, and in most cases textbooks are not worth the price, but this one is.

Some chapters have amazing explainations for why an answer is correct, and why the other answers are wrong.Other chapters offer no help what-so-ever.For example:One chapter may explain how to solve a math problem (which is great in case you forgot what the formula was, or don't know where you wen't wrong in your calculations)But another chapter will only say "Calculation." as the description of the answer.There are also questions where it will ask you what is it called when ____?And some chapters will explain the correct answer and explain what the definitions of the other choices given.But in other chapters it will only say "Definition of ___." it will not tell you what the definition IS though. Or what the other answers meant.SO when a chapter only has "Calculation." or "Definition of ___." as an explaination, You aren't really learning anything. Especially when it comes to the math questions.I would also find parts in the book where they would copy word-for-word the description of the answer for the previous question for the next question.For example: (I'm making up this question)Say I have a question about the descripton of SLE.The description of the answer will be "SLE is ......"Then the next question could be about RA.But the description of the answer will also say "SLE is......"SO in that case, I won't know why my answer to the second question is correct or incorrect. I also won't feel confident that the letter answer that the book is providing is the correct answer.It's very disheartening when you buy a book that you need for class and also need in order to study for your board exams and you find errors and entire chapters that don't have helpful information in the descriptions.I did pass my exams on the first try, however, but I attribute that much more to using Lab CE than this BOC book.(one more thing to note, there are also spots where they will ask the same question twice, but give two different answers *and two different sets of answers, such as all the options for one question are not in the second question*. I assume they want you to pick what answer is MOST correct.)

Daughter waited a couple of months after she graduated to take her test and used this book to freshen her memory. She passed the first time and did so well that her Professor sent her a text saying how impressed he was her score!

Good afternoonI'm studying the Chem section of this book for the MLS can I get some good advice is it worth my time, the only thing that I have that I can benefit from is I have over 10 years experience in the lab as a phlebotomist and histologist and very little on the job training as a MT, so please can I get some insight about the exam, my plan is to pass it on the first try,
