The NAO has a textbook on the Advanced Exam. http://www.nao.org/?page_id=2625#toggle-id-12 I also used Optical Formulas Tutorial by Stoner, Perkins and Ferguson. Do not get too bogged down, this...

Hi Roy this is off topic but I do not have your contact info and understand that you are very knowledgeable about practical exams. I have been working with groups from all over the country on ABO...

I am so sad. I admired Daryl so much and had hoped to learn more from him. Condolences to his loved ones.

Congratulations Jonathan,

I will send you my emial if you want to talk about the advanced test. I took it in 2013. As you would expect there are things you need to know for the advanced that are...

“We use OpticianWorks to add to our in-housetraining program and love it! With 24/7 access from any computer or tabletemployees working on their ABO can study anytime.” Best videos of any site that I...

This sounds perfect for what we need. Do you have an idea of the month that it will be available? We are still deciding whether we have enough time to prepare them for the spring exam or if we should...

The book will be fine. It is not overly expensive and is a good review as we get down to the last couple of months. They can test themselves intensely and see where their weaknesses are and we can...

Thanks so much. We are meeting to review your study guide and a couple others to determine which ones to order for our employees that will be taking the ABO next year. We will be ordering 8 copies....

Gary I ordered the Kindle version but can you tell me if the ABO exam questions have been updated to ANSI 2010 tolerances?

Thanks to everyone for sharing there methods. I think we all agree that center pupil is the goal we just have different ways of getting there. I have one more question. How do you instruct patient to...

I am trying to prepare a training on Selling, fitting, dispensing and troubleshooting progressive lenses. I have found that many Opticians have a different method for measuring the PAL height. See...

Thanks Fezz unfortunately I am only able to be there one day early since I work. I don't think that one day of review is going to get me any closer than I will get on my own. The saturday before is...

Hi Roy,

Unfortunately I got the book that you coauthored Optical Formula Tutorial late in the game but I have learned alot from it. I had been trying to study from the Advanced Opticians Tutorial...

From what I understand the problem is that so few sit for the Advanced certification exam that it doesn't warrant a formal review course. I think that there are many like myself who think they are...

O.K. so with the confidence of knowing you were right I applied the formula again and figured out that I had not made the focal length (-) negative nor had I converted it to cm to match the object...

Need help...I suspect the answer is wrong on the review quiz so let me ask you what answer you get for this problem.

Object placed 15cm to left of thin -2.50 lens. The image will form a. 3cm to...

Good to know I will move it down in priority and study other areas more. Does anyone know if the formulas listed in the back of the Advanced Opticians Tutorial are the same as the ones that will be...

It is not referenced in the Advanced Opticians Tutorial but is referenced in the Optical Formulas Tutorial. It may not be on the test, I wish I knew for sure.

Thanks

Question for you, was the entire exam multiple choice or did you have to draw ray diagrams or show work in any other form? I am taking the advanced test this coming sunday and like you I panic when I...

What areas were you weak on? I am very comfortable with everything except some of the advanced formulas and principals but I still have four more weeks to get comfortable. I am going to save the last...

Good luck to you as well and thank you! I agree that the tutorial is primarily useful for a guide of what topics will be covered and is OK for topics other than optical optics. I have found errors...

Absolutely! I was refering to the actual calculator entries related to various formulas. I could get a completely different answer if I don't enter the correct signs in the correct order using the...

No review course but I am studying intensely and praying a lot. Are you taking review course? None of it scares me except making sure I enter the correct sequence of keys in the calculator for the...

I am thrilled with Optical Formulas Tutorial by Stoner, Perkins and Feruson. It is thorough, clear and has alot of great review questions. It is a true text book with a thorough 'Table of Contents'...
