You can get these all on a CD and take the practice tests as many times as you like. It's a great resource to test yourself.

Those 3 books are in the top 5 of my collections. Another book that might help you because of the illustrations (special stain color pictures on the test!) is: Theory and Practice of Histological Techniques 5th edition edited by Bancroft and Gamble Unfortunately it is rather pricey. Another good standby because so many books seem to cite it (classic): AFIP Laboratory Methods in Histotechnology latest edition is Prophet et.al. ISBN: 1-881041-00-X Good luck with your test!
