With a seed, a mock or practice set gives every learner the same questions in the same order. The set changes only when questions are added to the bank or corrected. An adaptive exam always follows each learner's answers.
The adaptive exam is marked Beta because its question difficulties are still being tuned from learners' answers.
What learners practice
- Answer MLS exam-style questions across blood banking, chemistry, hematology, microbiology, immunology, urinalysis and laboratory operations.
- Work to the exam's time limit.
- Review each answer with its rationale and the lesson to read next.
