Activity 3: Assessment(s)

There are two (2) assessments associated with the Clinical Microbiology Sub-Domain. They are as follows:

Clinical Microbiology Part I (MBC1 or MCB2)

The Clinical Microbiology Assessment Part I (MBC1 or MBC2) is a scheduled proctored objective exam at a secure testing center. There are 125 objective items on the proctored exam.

The test consists of multiple choice questions on microbiology concepts. You will have two and a half (2.5) hours to complete the assessment. When you go to the proctored site, do not bring any texts or study materials with you, but do bring some identification. Be sure you are rested, and wear comfortable clothes. You will take the assessment online. Read each question carefully to make sure you understand what you are being asked to do. Reread the question if needed. The passing score for MBC1/MBC2 is 68%.

Clinical Microbiology Part II (MLT1 or MLT2)

The Clinical Microbiology Assessment Part II (MLT1 or MLT2) consists of twelve performance tasks that are completed using TaskStream. The tasks are lab reports associated with experiments in the Microbiology Lab Manual. The tasks are designed to demonstrate student competency based on application of concepts. The instructions for each task can be accessed through TaskStream. Read through the directions and the grading rubric before beginning each task. Once the task is completed, submit it to be graded.
