"Becoming a Specialist in Blood Banking can be a very tough yet rewarding decision. After months of hard work learning the material, I got out all of my past study guides to begin preparing for the board of certification exam, and was frankly overwhelmed. Taking the PASS SBB exam review really put me at ease. The review allows you to quickly brush up on important concepts, take note of areas that you need to focus on more, and the slides provided are great to study from! The review also gives you vital information on how to prepare, send in your application, and take the test. I would definitely recommend everyone looking to take the SBB board exam in the near future should take the PASS review first!"
