This is the only book I used. It was highly recommend by my professors and it was all we used to study for college exams too. It's great in that not only does it tell you the correct answer, it tells you why the others are wrong. I always recommend this book to the students we get. It also comes with a cd with even more questions.

I second every single one of those recommendations (with special emphasis placed on the blood bank and micro texts), but I do want to recommend a different text for Hematology/Hemostasis.

To fill in some other gaps:

This is what we used for Immunology/Serology.

Mycology and Parasitology. Virology was covered using online materials. I honestly found all of those materials a bit underwhelming. Abbott provides a pretty decent PDF on the Hepatitis Virus though.

BioChemistry. Though, the only reason I don't necessarily recommend it over the initial suggestion is because this book is so loaded with information it's honestly overwhelming; however, very very thorough.

Finally, I don't know what other review books people used for the ASCP, but this book's^^[1] publisher^^[2] guarantees you'll pass or your money back. I'm not sure if that information is actually listed on their website or not, it's just something to look into.

Here is the desktop version of your link

I used these two:

http://www.amazon.com/SUCCESS-Clinical-Laboratory-Science-Edition/dp/0135126487/
This one has fairly detailed outlines for each subsection with plenty of questions.

http://www.amazon.com/Medical-Laboratory-Science-Review-Robert/dp/0803628285/
This one only contains questions, but it comes with a CD that has pictures as well.

Get plenty of practice and good luck!

1. The ASCPi is such a new thing I have no idea how a lab manager would perceive it. If anything the ASCPi is used internationally as an ASCP outside of America, not the other way around. If anything the lab manager will probably ask the interviewee what the ASCPi is. There is no definitive answer on this.
   
   2 and 3. This is an INCREDIBLY broad question. The test is VERY difficult and inclusive of the full range of the MLS profession. The can ask you what disease state and ANA stain indicates and then which of these bacteria are urease positive the next.
   
   There is no ONE book that will go over everything.
   
   This one looks good to start off with and not that expensive.
