American Society for Clinical Pathology Board of Certification (ASCP BOC) · SCYM Examination Content Guideline, revised September 25, 2025; reviewed October 12, 2026. The assigned workbook label maps to the historical ASCP Qualification in Cytometry (QCYM), which ASCP explicitly replaced with Specialist in Cytometry, SCYM(ASCP), in 2017. The assigned slug is preserved. These materials follow the verified successor's current published outline, not a historical QCYM outline. The guideline states a revision date but no separate effective date.

This original 20-question sample covers selected topics across the outline. It does not reproduce official exam questions or cover every tested topic.
