@bhelle_mt02 miss bhelle un case ko po kasi student po ako dito sa melbourne, dito na rin ang magama ko as dependent ko. pero gusto ko ksi mapermanent resident na dito. luckily ksi nahire ako as somehow parang medtech na rin sa hospital dito sa melbourne kaso part time pero permanent nman e limited ang hours ko kaya need ko na tlaga i try mg skilled.
Hi guys! Glad i found this forum, though I cant really understand your languages but I have the same questions about med lab scientist and the examination. I have a degree from sydney university for the bachelor of medical science, but sadly it's not accredited, so I'm wondering what i should do. Anyone here had a similar situation? i dont have any work experiences in this field so i dont even know AIMS is gna let me take the examination....:( Help!
@amyy. What you can do is contact AIMS directly. You graduated from an australian university, maybe they will let you take the examinations even without experience.
Anyone taking the exams this coming March 6? I will be taking it sa Sydney. Mejo nakaka stress dami aaralin. And short answer questions pa. Di bale sana kung multiple choice, may chance ka pa manghula. Anyone who took it already pwede mg post ng natatandaan nila questions/subjects? It will be a big help. TIA.

so glad i found this thread.. @gene_borres@ten2six just wanted to ask, anu anu po ba yung kailangang requirements to get started on taking the AIMS exam? do you guys already need an IELTS? Or school transcripts, COEs lang then you can already schedule for a sitting?
Also, is there anyone here who took the exam from UAE?
I'm just asking for my fiance. She's a Med Tech currently based in UAE and we're thinking about the best way to proceed with her visa (either through skilled or through a fiance/partner visa).. salamat po sa advice in advance..

Nung ngexam kc ako wayback after passing written we have to attend oral exam too. Aims is somewhat basic questions but u have to know bec u nid to write ur answers like definitions and explanations. The sample questions from aims is helpful bec for sure the will get there but revised question. Hope it will help u. Goodluck!
@gene_borres goodluck sa exam!! Kayang kaya yan! Iniisip ko nlng prng board exam na wlang multiple choice so dpat alam tlg. Bawal manghula hehe.. thanks uli ha. God bless.

@bhelle.. kaya yan. Ng take ka na ba ng ASCP? I think mas mahirap yun sa lawak ng aaralin and type of questions. Although may chance tumama dahil pwede manghula ika nga. Dito kase sa AIMS if you don't know the answer you have no chance.
Nandito na ko sa Aussie. Nag exam ako sa Sydney. 10 lang yata kami ng exam na medical scientist. Kaya I was wondering kung marami kasabay na nagtake si Gene.

@ten2six yup last 2008 pa ako nagtake ng ascp kaya 6yrs na ako hindi humahawak ng libro ng medtech.. hehe kaya mahaba habang reviewhan kelngn.. thank u sa mga infos ha.. balitaan ko kaya pag turn ko nmn mag exam
Mahirap ba hanap work jan as med lab technician? Though di pa nmen alam san kmi mapapadpad. Waiting for quota to open for medlab tech khit saang state jan aa aussie.
I haven't tried looking for work because I need to concentrate on my studies at the university these next two weeks. Maybe after I get my bearings on my subjects at the university, I can try and look for a job. God knows I need the money. lol. But if I fail in my subjects, I risk revoking my visa.
Priority things first. The last two weeks I concentrated on cramming for the AIMS exams. Next two weeks (or maybe three or four), I will concentrate on my studies. I haven't been to school in fifteen years and it's kinda tough. That's giving away my age.
(I posted in straight english because I read here somewhere that it's advisable to post in english. Masunuring bata e. Hirap pala. hehe)

Priority things first. The last two weeks I concentrated on cramming for the AIMS exams. Next two weeks (or maybe three or four), I will concentrate on my studies. I haven't been to school in fifteen years and it's kinda tough. That's giving away my age.
(I posted in straight english because I read here somewhere that it's advisable to post in english. Masunuring bata e. Hirap pala. hehe)
