    South Carolina State Board Exam Advice/ Help..

    Hey everyone! I am brand new to OptiBoard and was wondering if anyone could help. I am currently scheduled to take the SC state board exam this december and I am just a little fuzzy on a few things. I have gathered some great info from openoptix. If anyone has more info they can send that would be great. Especially around resultant prism, thick lens equations, focal length, vertex distance, slab off, SC state laws, Ansi Standards, etc. I am familliar with most of this but the more info and study materials, the better. Thanks, -Mike

    Hey Mike,

    I can't help with the SC info, but for formulas, I believe that the goto reference book is :

    Optical Formulas Tutorial, Stoner

    http://www.amazon.com/Optical-Formul.../dp/0750675047

    I would pick up a copy...pronto.

    My personal favorite reference book is becoming;

    Ophthalmic Lenses and Dispensing, Mo Jalie

    http://astore.amazon.com/optiboard-20/detail/0750655267

    Maybe you should contact a fellow Optiboarder, WSS2020. He is SC boy and seems to be top notch in his optical wisdom! He should be a valuable friend to make!


    :cheers::cheers::cheers:

    I am also taking the State test in December......from what I know is that it isnt open book anymore.....it is a whole new test.

    I called the learning curve to see if they were going to supply any formulas......and he said that I wouldnt need formulas.....????? Which kind of scares me but looking at the outline that might be true.

    Did you get the outline?

    I also asked about state laws he said that we would need to know any of that.....and as for ansi-standards he said that there is one question on the test.

    Hope this helps......even tho we are taking it on monday!

    Will be taking SC test

    Mike and Ginny....Hope you both did well on the Exam.
    I am licensed in MA and I will be moving to SC next month and taking the exam next time it is offered. Can you tell me anything about the exam?
    It has been over 4 years since I took the MA exam and there were things on the exam that I never use day to day. I'm sure I will need to brush up.
