Any ABO-ADVANCED opticians out there?

[ndhawkeye]

I got my book today! Very nice. Much better than the original! Easier to carry, flip thru, and better use of space. I haven't really read much, just glanced thru it.

Thanks for the hard work Diane!
:cheers::cheers::cheers:

Ok I am a quiet one! I am also registered to take my test in Ohio. How do I go about getting my book? I have the optical formulas book and the ACE book. Am I missing one?

Sonja, we really need to get some of these things moved closer to our part of the world !! Ohio is a long ways from ND.

Sonja,

Welcome to optiboard. I am not taking the test. I am taking the review course for the test. The book is included with the price of the review course.

[ndhawkeye]

Ok it was early this morn when I posted... not enough coffee in my fingers or brain! I am also taking the review in Ohio and the test on Sunday. I have not heard a word about the book. I called the ABO/NCLE and she was going to check on it. Fezz will we get our books when we get to Ohio or will they come early?


I have my ticket bought and reservation done! That counts doesnt it??

Sonja,

You should get your book before the class. They are starting to ship them out.

[ndhawkeye]

Thanks! Cant wait to be the quiet one in the review class!!

Oh, don't worry!

I will be the noise-est one there. Heck, I will be trying to fumble around so much with the blasted calculator just trying to figure out how to turn it on that I will be causing a near riot scene!



I sure hope Ziggy brings a deck of cards.....and a pocket full of dead presidents!!

I have the new book from NAO. Looks pretty nice, I'm glad Michael DiSanto was part of the team putting it together. His book is the only thing I used for the ABOC exam and I passed w/ flying colors.



I have not started studying it yet, I am taking the test in Indianapolis this November. September was too much of a rush for me since the book just came out.

[ndhawkeye]

I am so sad. I guess I will wait for my BOOK. Then I will have to study like a mad woman!

The Quiet One. My Opticians laughed at me when I told them I would be the quiet one.

Hey I will see you in Cincinnati then! I am taking the advanced review course as well and then the test on sunday... have the review book now, am quite nervous!

[Fezz]

Hey Optichick-

It will be great meeting you at the course. Just please do not make fun of my Dunce cap! I would also appreciate it if you pulled me aside before class and quietly showed me how to work the calculator. I gave up asking my wise-a*s daughter. She just howls with laughter and giggles away!

:D:cheers::D:cheers::D

Euchre

You must have canadian blood in you, fast tricks lose money fast. But we can play a little Euchre, I'll start stuffing jacks up my sleeve now in preparation, call me Harry Bower. ;):p

[OptiChick21]

I JUST received my NAO book last week, so maybe they are still slowly shipping them out to everyone... I hope you get yours soon!

I do plan on taking the test in September even though i just got the book... I dont think it will take me 3 months to read it, but whether I understand it all or not is another story! The way I see it, if I can't learn it in 3 months then it ain't happening! LoL

I dont really like studying 6 months in advance and by the time I take the test I've forgotten half of what I read... I hope 3 months is time enough. There are self assesment tests in the book, so thats helpful too.

And with two straight days of review directly before the test, I think my brain will be FULL! :hammer:

[rob.optician]

OptiChick21 - good luck. I considered the idea of getting my book in June and taking the test in September for about 1 minute and decided it was not the best idea for me.


I will be in the class though - I'm always the youngest optician at every event I go to - and I'm 25 - turning 26 during 1 of the ABO-Advanced review courses - what a way to spend my b-day right?! lol.
