ASCP MB Molecular Biology Exam Questions Practice Test

ASCP MB Molecular Biology Exam Questions Practice Test

The Technologist in Molecular Biology MB(ASCP) certification examination offered by the ASCP Board of Certification (BOC) is composed of 100 questions given in a 2 hour 30 minute time frame. All exam questions are multiple-choice with one best answer. The certification exam is administered using the format of computer adaptive testing (CAT).

The MB exam questions encompass the following content areas within Molecular Biology: Molecular Science, Molecular

Techniques, Laboratory Operations, and Applications of Molecular Testing. Each of these content areas comprises a

specific percentage of the overall 100-question exam.
