ExploreAbout this exam
AIL DILI B1 is a professional certification in the haematology field, structured around three domains: leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma. The exam is intended for candidates who need to demonstrate structured knowledge of blood cancers and of the organisational and support context around them, such as laboratory and clinical staff, students in biomedical and health pathways, and professionals working alongside haematology centres. The exam is divided into the three disease domains, with leukaemia and lymphoma each weighted at 33% and myeloma at 34%, so the content is deliberately balanced and no single domain can be skipped. A candidate should expect questions that test terminology, classification logic, disease characteristics and the practical context of patient support, rather than pure memorisation of isolated facts. Preparation should follow the domain weights: build a solid base in leukaemia and lymphoma, then give myeloma equivalent attention, since its slightly higher weight makes it the single largest block. Study in short cycles with active recall, then move to full-length practice under time pressure. Because the exam's format, duration, passing score, fee, retake policy and validity period are not published in the official source material we hold, candidates should confirm these details directly with the certifying body before registering.

What you'll study
About AIL DILI B1 preparation
What does the AIL DILI B1 exam cover?
It covers three domains: leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Leukaemia and lymphoma carry 33% weight each, myeloma 34%. Expect terminology, classification, disease characteristics and the practical context of patient support, balanced across all three so no domain can be skipped.
How many questions are on the exam and how long does it take?
We do not hold an official figure for question count or duration, so we do not publish one. Confirm both with the certifying body before you register. In practice, plan your practice sessions around the real timing once you have it, since pacing is a common source of lost marks.
What score do I need to pass?
The passing score is not stated in the official source material available to us, so we cannot give a reliable number. Check directly with the certifying organisation. Do not rely on figures circulating online, as exams are revised and older thresholds are frequently outdated.
How much does the exam cost and is there a retake policy?
Fee and retake policy are not published in the source material we hold, so we cannot state them. Contact the certifying body for the current fee, any resit window and the number of attempts allowed. Budget for a possible retake rather than assuming a single attempt.
How long is the certification valid?
Validity period is not confirmed in the official material we have, so we do not quote a number. Ask the certifying body whether the credential expires and what renewal requires, such as continuing education or a repeat exam. Plan renewal into your long-term study schedule.
How difficult is the exam?
The balanced weighting makes it moderately demanding: you cannot compensate for a weak domain with a strong one. Candidates who know one disease area deeply but skim the other two typically lose the most marks. Aim for even coverage, then sharpen recall on the highest-weighted domain, myeloma.
In what order should I study the three domains?
Start with leukaemia and lymphoma to build core haematology vocabulary, since the terms recur across the exam. Then treat myeloma as a full domain in its own right, given its 34% weight. Finish with mixed practice that rotates all three, so you train switching between disease areas under time pressure.
What are the most common ways candidates fail?
Three patterns dominate: neglecting myeloma because it feels like the smallest topic, memorising isolated facts without understanding classification logic, and never practising under timed conditions. A fourth is trusting outdated pass marks or format details found online instead of confirming them with the certifying body.
Is this guide officially affiliated with the exam provider?
No. This is independent study material produced by an independent platform. It is not endorsed by, affiliated with, or approved by any certifying organisation, and it does not reproduce any commercial question bank. Always verify exam details against the official source before you register or pay.
How should I prepare in the final two weeks?
Shift from reading to retrieval. Run short quizzes per domain, then full-length timed sets mixing all three. Review every wrong answer by writing the correct reasoning in one sentence. Keep the last few days for light recall and logistics, not new material, so you arrive rested and confident.
