That's great! You put the work in and it payed off!
I'm glad you had a better testing experience than I did.
I've heard it's a low pass rate, but I don't know. I know it's a pretty rare level...

[QUOTE=jasons;541127]Robert, thank you for your very helpful suggestions on the ABO Advance Test. I believe that the Optical Formulas Tutorial saved my life. You were absolutely right, the extra...
Thanks Robert!
It's funny, because I used that Master exam to study for the advanced. I figured if I could do those problems, I'd be prepared for the advanced exam.
Thanks Mr. Tibbs.
The goal is to move onto the ABOM certification.
In case you're curious, the new requirements are:
* Passing the ABO Master in Ophthalmic Optics examination, (I don't...
tx11,
I used to work for Midland and I would recommend that you use them. They have some really experienced people (20+ years is common) and they expect a lot out of their employees in terms of...
They don't provide formulas.
I will say this. At Opticon 2014, a group of us were told by one of the tests creators to focus on the ophthalmic optics formulas in the Advanced Opticians Tutorial....
That will get you part of the way there. The AOT is great for stuff like anatomy, pathology, medications and the stuff that's more memorization.
The only place it's weak is in the math. There are...
Thank you everyone for the congratulations!
No time to rest on laurels though, there's more to be done.
One of the things I took away from the test, was my weaknesses. The questions that I...
Mine was heavy in math and math. Very little pathology.
I wouldn't bet on a good algebraic calculator from the testing center.
Here's a picture of what they gave me. If you can imagine the...
I just finished my ABO Advanced test.
I posted a summary of the test as a new thread, so check it out if you'd like.

I would love to say that I went in and demolished the test, but I can't. It was pretty difficult. I'm going to outline what you need to know and some helpful hints to prepare you for the test.
The...
Then another 3 years after that, you'll be eligible for the Master Exam/Technical Articles/Paper/Case Study.
It could be any one of those or some combination thereof to achieve Master...
Congratulations!
Now you need to start studying for the advanced exam. You only have 3 years to prepare, so start crackin!
I take mine in 7 days.

Hello Optiboard!
If there are any C# developers around, I have something that might interest you. I just finished a class library with around 80 calculations pertaining to ophthalmic optics.

Yeah 20/20 is great for cec credits too!
Hey everybody, Robert Minardi here. I just wanted to share something with anyone interested in ophthalmic optics calculations.
I made this about a year ago and I think you might enjoy it. The...

F1 is the primary focal point is F2 is the secondary focal point.
Did you take the test yet?

You're good LivinLarge44, you passed. Congrats!
They changed the grading procedure for both the basic and advanced tests. For the most part, it's graded immediately. Although a friend of mine...
No I'm using minus cylinder form.
Yes, for the left eye the axis needs to be rotated to conform with the binasal form. I understand that part. It still requires the horizontal decentration value (x) to have it's sign flipped.
...
The only thing is, I'm only getting the correct values if I change horizontal decentration to negative values for inward decentration. It's really driving me bonkers because I can't see what's going...
The results are now instantaneous. We just had a group of people take the ABO 2 weeks ago and it gave them their results at the end of the test.
I'm wondering if the same system is used for the...
