    For those that are so eager:

    What will you do if you pass?

    How will you continue to build on your optical knowledge?


    For those that fail:

    What will you do to pass the next time?

    Will you educate yourself more and try again?

    Passing this test is only the beginning.....not the end!

    If a passing grade is awarded, first I will request a raise In the process of studying for the exam, though, I learned so much and found so many great resources that I hopefully will continue to pull knowledge from, going on the the advanced ABO exam at some point.
    In the case of a fail, I think a bottle of champagne will be in order b/c at least I'll know and can start again studying to pass in May.
    In fact, either way a bottle of champagne will be in order.

    I have a long path ahead of me, I'm coming from a state that doesn't even need the abo or ncle to dispense, but I feel that I need more knowledge in order to give my patients' the best service that I can. In one year I am moving to Washington where I need to apprentice and then pass their boards... So I will have to find out how to get into their optician program and apply for apprenticeship. Washington is overwhelming I'm still confused on how I go about becoming licensed. But one step at a time. First ABO, then NCLE, then I will see where to go from there.

    Mines hasn't updated either. I wonder if they are even posting peoples results online, because people who've taken it around this time in the past found out sooner than this. There has to be some type of glitch in the system because it would be unbelievable for this many people not to pass. Lets continue to pray and stay positive

    Im in California too. Maybe she recieved hers first because she lives clossest to Virginia. I called a couple of LensCrafters and the people who took the test haven't recieved theirs either. I will continue to try and be optimistic

    Question for ones that have their results, did you receive them by mail? or does it say active on the abo/ncle website when you sign in?

    I am also waiting for an update.. But find this to be funny. I don't think there is any reason to panic. If you search for past exams on OB's, you can read that not everybody's status gets updated at the same time. They do a little at a time. Probably not to crash the site. I have talked to people that passed in May of 2010 their status wasn't updated until the same day she got her results in the mail. We have waited this long whats a couple more days?

    Right? Stop panicking. Keep in mind that they're updating the site manually, and there aren't a lot of them doing it. Sometimes they update yours first and sometime they update yours last. Think about how many people were at the site when you took your exam, and think of how many sites there are. Also, they have to process the CLRE (NCLE) results.

    It's funny, I wasn't even anxious until someone said they'd been told ABO mailed them out. Besides, getting them faster just means we'll know if we failed faster, which just doesn't sound ideal at all. I had no idea they updated the site manually, either. Makes me glad I'm sitting in an optical instead of behind a stack of exam results.
