When I took the HT exam I was in a histology program with on the job work as the students helped in the lab and didn't have any problem passed first time.
Several years ago when I decided to take the HTL I took a week off work and packed the dog and tent and went camping with all my books and study guides. I would go over everything for hours then take the dog for a hike then start over again. I passed first time then too. I thought the pictures in the second test were really bad. For the HT I had actual photos if I remember correctly and they were much clearer.

I have not yet sat for the exam, but I see the pass rate is low, and average score is usually just slightly above the pass line. I have read a lot of comments on some message boards saying people don't even recognize the material in a lot of the questions, and how the images of stains are of very poor quality. I am just wondering if most of the people who don't pass are people who think because they work in a lab they will be able to pass the exam, and as a result they don't study for it the first time. Or, is it really that difficult and many people study hard but still cannot pass it. Any comments welcome! Thanks!
