Phlebotomy Technician Certification
Exam Study Guide




American Medical Certification Association, Phlebotomy Technician Certification, (PTC), 2010

,Dear Student,

This exam prep study guide is intended to be used as reinforcement for what you have already
learned. It is not intended to replace classroom learning or notes that you have already taken.
Instead, use what you have already learned, and the notes that you have taken and the books
that you used could be a great reference while you are studying.

The exam consists of 100 multiple choice questions and you will have two hours in which to
complete the exam. When taking the test, always apply these test taking strategies:

• Look for distracters in the question such as the words, not, always, exactly, first, next,
etc.
• Read all the answers
• Eliminate the ones that you know are incorrect
• Narrow it down to 2 possible answers
• Choose the BEST possible answer


ON TEST DAY
1. Please bring a picture ID with you. A valid driver’s license, county ID, and passport are
all acceptable forms of ID.
2. Please bring a #2 pencil with you.
3. Fill out all registration and test answer sheets in their entirety. Your full name as you
would like it to appear on your certification card, your complete SSN and mailing
address are necessary. Failure to provide this information, will delay the processing of
your exam.
4. DO NOT WRITE IN THE TEST BOOKLET! All of your answers must be recorded on
the answer sheet.
5. Cheating of any kind will not be tolerated. If someone is suspected of cheating, they will
be removed from the classroom. They will forfeit their right to retake the exam.
6. In order to be successful on the exam, you must achieve a 70% or better on the exam.
7. Once the exam begins, you will not be allowed to access your cell phone or any other
electronic device. Please turn them to silent prior to entering the classroom.
8. Once the exam begins, you will not be allowed to use the restroom. Please use the
restroom before the exam begins.
