The primary feature of this tool is the diagnostic question tool. This tool contains questions that represent each of the primary areas from the ASCP Content Outline (see handouts tab for downloadable copy). At the end of the exam, use your results to help guide you as you outline a study plan. This can be retaken an unlimited number of times. Please note, each time you take this assessment you will experience a new combination of questions. The number of questions from each category is based on the published percentages in the content outline.
