I'm wrapping up my studies (Test in the morning!) and I'm wondering if anybody knows if these subjects are often tested. There's nothing in First Aid about them, so I'm tempted to leave 'em out. Can anybody that has taken the test provide any insight?

Thanks!

I wouldn't go as far as to say that those particular topics are high yield, but... heme/lymph in general IS high yield, so I would at least know some key characteristics of both groups (especially the myeloproliferatives). BRS Path is an outstanding resource for that stuff, and just about everything else. Good luck on your exam tomorrow! 🙂

See the post before my test. I would say AML M3 is important and CML and ALL with downs syndrome for whatever reason I dont think CLL is important. Also Hodgkins lymphoma and follicular (small cleaved) lymphoma. Thats where I would concentrate also knowing mantle cell lymphoma gene translocation. Obviously Burkitts' lymphoma.
