Day 28 🧪 Welcome back to 30 Days of ASCP: Ratchet Study Tips 🤪🤏🏽🤏🏽🤏🏽 Today we’re simplifying antibiotic classes by focusing on what they actually target. Penicillins, cephalosporins, and carbapenems attack the cell wall, so bacteria lose structure and can’t survive. Macrolides, tetracyclines, and aminoglycosides block protein synthesis at the ribosome, meaning the bacteria is alive but can’t function. Fluoroquinolones, rifampin, and metronidazole go straight for DNA or RNA, shutting down

If you’ve ever opened your ASCP study materials and felt completely overwhelmed like, where do I even start? You are not alone. 🫶🏽😩 There’s so much content between blood bank, heme, micro, immuno, and chemistry that it can feel like you’re drowning before you even begin. The reality is, you don’t need to know everything at once; you need a structured starting point. Begin with a baseline full-length practice exam to pinpoint your weakest subject, then work backwards from weakest to strongest,

Day 8 🧪 Welcome back to 30 Days of ASCP: Ratchet Study Tips! 🍄🔬 Today we’re locking in the dimorphic fungi that LOVE to show up on exams:Coccidioides, Histoplasma, Blastomyces, and Paracoccidioides. From boxcar-shaped arthroconidia and spherules, to spiky tuberculate macroconidia, to lollipop conidia, to the mariner’s wheel in tissue; if you know the growth pattern, the spores, and the geography, these questions get a LOT easier. Save this for later, send it to your study partner, and follow

Day 25 🧪 Welcome back to 30 Days of ASCP: Ratchet Study Tips 🤪🤏🏽🤏🏽🤏🏽 Today we’re locking in Mycobacterium, because these organisms follow their own rules. Mycobacteria have thick, waxy cell walls rich in mycolic acids, which is why they don’t Gram stain well and require an acid-fast stain. If the red dye stays after acid alcohol, it’s acid-fast. Growth rate matters too: slow growers like Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. bovis, M. kansasii, and MAC take weeks to grow and form dry or rough c

Day 16 🧪 Welcome back to 30 Days of ASCP: Ratchet Study Tips. 🤪🤏🏽 🤏🏽 🤏🏽 Platelet disorders stop being confusing once you separate the problem into three categories: too few, not working, or being destroyed. Thrombocytopenia is the obvious one; low platelets, less clotting, more bleeding. That can come from decreased production, increased destruction, or sequestration, and the smear will usually tell you which direction to look. Qualitative disorders are the sneaky ones, platelet count is

I passed the ASCP by doing practice questions and learning from every single one. If I got it wrong, I figured out why. If I got it right, I still reviewed it. That became my study guide. Keep it simple, stay consistent, and don’t overthink it. 🧪 DM me “PASS” to pass your ASCP exam #ascp #ascpexam #mls #mlsascp | Marilyn Claire

Day 24 🧪 Welcome back to 30 Days of ASCP: Ratchet Study Tips 🤪🤏🏽🤏🏽🤏🏽 Today we’re locking in an easy tapeworm distinction that the exam loves to test: proglottid shape. If the proglottids are longer than they are broad, think Taenia species: Taenia solium and Taenia saginata both follow this rule. If the proglottids are broader than they are long, that points you to Diphyllobothrium latum, the broad fish tapeworm, and yes, the name is the hint. One segment shape can take you straight to t
