High-Yield Exam Habits
Identify the laboratory pattern before choosing a diagnosis.
Ask whether the item is testing physiology, methodology, specimen effects, calculations, or interpretation.
Timing, tube type, hemolysis, lipemia, and collection conditions can change the answer.
When two answers seem possible, choose the one that best matches the full laboratory picture.
