Bleeding time gives Platlet response ( Remember BP )
Clotting time gives idea about Coagulation pathway ( Remember CC )
Also remember the following about Prothrombin Time (PT) and Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT):
PTT - Intrinsic and common pathway
PT - Extrinsic and common pathway
( Remember this by imagining that Peter is going to take part in a Tea drinking contest. To be IN to the contest Peter must drink two Teas (TT) - PTT gives idea about INtrinsic and common pathway. If Peter drinks only one T, he is OUT = Extrinsic and common pathway represented by PT )

Thanx a lot.. great help
As PT should go with INR and this part is out of PT,we can say it measures extrinsic(outside)
