Quick question regarding using B5 and Zenkers fixatives and the registry exam... Can anybody tell me if questions on these techniques still being asked on the exam?

I'm working on a tumor project and some of the blocks are ancient and the tissue was fixed in B5. So my student was asking about B5 and I was telling her about the treatment before staining for Zenkers and B5 and she said that hadn't been covered in her classes. So do they need to know this for the exam?

Personally, it doesn't matter to me if they need to know it or not for the exam - I think they should know about it
