    ABO in May

    Hello, I'm fairly new here. I'm getting ready to take the ABO in May . The material I have is good for study, but I wonder if there is anything else that is helpful as well. I have the " Spectacle certification exam review book", and something my employer had me print off the net from eyetec.net ( anyone hear of it?) I would like to read some experiences of test takers here and some advice, please. I'am kind of nervous about this test. There seems to be so much material involved.

    Thanks so much..

    Hey Sharon,
    I'm in the KC area. How about you, where in Kansas are you ?
    What material are you using to study?
    It seems like I've been studying forever .
    Was the NCLE difficult?
    Well, its nice to meet a fellow Kansan. :)

    The Quantum online course was really good. I used that, and passed my NCLE. I'm sure they have a good course for the ABO prep too.

    Sounds awesome! Im in Manhattan, just 2 hours west of here. Im using the review from the Optical Training Institute and also the review from Quantum for the ABO.
    The NCLE was more of clinical situations than theory. Use the Quantum review for that too...it helps.
    Are you taking the test in Wichita??
    Feel free to email or pm me anytime...I check here daily.

    Thanks for the tip. :)
    I've been using the "Golden Eagle training'. I like it pretty well. I got it from this forums advertisement.

    Manhattan... Ah.. I used to live in Junction City, eons ago. Pretty nice area. :) My husband was stationed at Ft. Riley.

    I do have some material from the National Academy of Opticianry as well.
    I 'm using also the Golden Eagle Training that I saw here advertised. I like it pretty well. I will have to check out this Quantum site. Thanks for the tips.

    Yes, I'm taking the test in Wichita. I've been there quite a few times in past years, but am not sure exactly where the test site will be. I'm thinking its at a college. Do you know?

    Thanks for the pm or email offer.
    Take care.
