Sample ASCP MLS practice questions

These sample items mirror the domains in the timed ASCP MLS mock. Correct answers and explanations unlock inside the practice session.

- A. Place the tube on ice and analyze it within 30 minutes
- B. Refrigerate the tube overnight and batch it with the morning samples
- C. Let the tube clot at room temperature for 30 minutes
- D. Collect it in a serum separator tube without additive
Sample 2
Two hours into a plasma transfusion, a patient develops acute hypoxemia, fever and hypotension. Chest film shows new bilateral infiltrates, BNP is normal and there are no signs of fluid overload. Which reaction is most likely?
- A. Acute hemolytic transfusion reaction from ABO mismatch
- B. Febrile nonhemolytic reaction from donor cytokines
- C. Transfusion-associated circulatory overload
- D. Transfusion-related acute lung injury
Sample 3
A patient with lifelong hemolytic anemia has a positive sickling screen. Which laboratory method best identifies and quantifies the hemoglobin fractions present?
- A. Serum ferritin immunoassay
- B. Hemoglobin electrophoresis
- C. Eosin-5-maleimide binding test
- D. Fluorescent spot test
Sample 4
A postpartum patient is bleeding with a fibrinogen of 80 mg/dL; PT and platelet count are only mildly abnormal. Which component most efficiently replaces fibrinogen?
- A. Platelet concentrate from an apheresis donor
- B. Red blood cells washed in normal saline
- C. Albumin 5% solution for volume replacement
- D. Cryoprecipitated antihemophilic factor
Sample 5
A pregnant patient's antibody identification shows anti-Le^a reacting at immediate spin. What is the expected risk of hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn from this antibody?
- A. Moderate, so the fetus needs serial MCA Doppler monitoring
- B. Unknown until the father's Lewis phenotype is determined
- C. High, because anti-Le^a is a common cause of severe HDFN
- D. Negligible, because Lewis antibodies are IgM

What is the ASCP MLS exam?

The ASCP Board of Certification Medical Laboratory Scientist exam, MLS(ASCP), certifies clinical laboratory scientists across blood bank, chemistry, hematology, microbiology, urinalysis, immunology, and laboratory operations. Official sittings are 100 computer-adaptive multiple-choice questions in 2 hours 30 minutes with a scaled passing score of 400 on a 100–999 scale.

MLT(ASCP) is a separate technician credential with the same sitting shape but a different guideline and eligibility path.
