They also have a 'testing' area where you have to identify resins, recommend lens designs based on a script, and do a few other hands-on tasks. If you passed the ABO written, and are working as an optician on a daily basis, the practical should be the least of your worries. Remember to bring your pencil, and have it sharpened before you get there. There is not a pencil sharpener at the hotel. Relax, it's not bad if you honestly care about what you do, which obviously you do being here on Optiboard.
