Bacterial Flow Charts
Below I have included the flow charts I used to study for the ASCP exam. These came from referencing the ones found on Wordsology. I have copied the flowcharts and blank versions to a printable size, so feel free to print these out for yourselves as practice.
Study Tips:
Draw these out multiple times until you can draw them from memory. This adds it to your spatial memory as well, as it associates the bacteria with a location on a flowchart. Associating the bacteria with different colors also helped me remember the different characteristics, as I colored them based off of their last positive. Everyone has different learning styles, so find what study method works for you.
