I would like to suggest the HT/HTL Study Guide and Workbook
put together by histotechs in the Michigan Society of Histotechnologists,
including program directors of histotechnology programs and speakers on
various topics at NSH and state symposiums.

It is a comprehensive outline of what is on the exam, along with areas that
the person has to fill in for themselves, such as definitions.

Also, there are worksheets to copy, to be used as templates for each of
the fixatives, special stains, decalcifiers, etc., in which the person again
has to look up the information in order to complete the worksheets.

It is a way to organize your studying, and make you look up the needed
information.

It is $18 (US funds)(check made out to "MSH", no charge cards or POs).

Our Study Guide Chairperson is

Bettye Amos
3816 Park Forest
Flint, MI 48507

I would recommend using as many text books as possible to find the
information, as one book usually does not cover all the material in depth.

Hope this helps.
