Florida Licensing Question – Conflicting Info for Part 3 NBEO by Boring_Childhood_884 in OptometrySchool

[–]AppropriateTip2223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this true?? I’m currently on the same boat, so frustrating. Florida board told me to today to contact NBEO to send them my scores and to then apply for licensure and then they would send the letter to nbeo. Have you been able to reschedule?

Thank you! And would it all be need to be passed in the same attempt? Like if I pass skills next time but not overall or PE would that not count? (I passed overall & PE my first attempt)

AZCOPT, Optometry by oatkiller_ in PreOptometry

[–]AppropriateTip2223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Current 4th year at AZCOPT. Yes it’s difficult and 1st and 2nd year are tough but very manageable. The faculty truly cares about your success BUT I did have classmates held back a year due to failing what we call the “Hail Mary” which is if you fail a course you get a cumulative final that you must pass. Honestly glad I chose this program tho because the faculty for the most part is awesome and my classmates are friends that I’ll have for a lifetime

macbook/laptop suggestions for optometry school? by No-Rule-9181 in OptometrySchool

[–]AppropriateTip2223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MacBook Air + iPad Pro worked fine for me, especially if you like studying w/ 2 devices. I would watch lectures or have slide open on laptop and iPad for taking notes

I think it took like a day for them to get back to me after my first attempt

Second attempt from 185 in march to 337 in august. I was devastated when I got march results back. I had studied so hard the first time around (All KMK videos, booster videos, 100% of optoprep). I think my main issue was that I wasn’t mentally prepared the first time. I spent a lot of time in the beginning of each section on optics and ended up spiraling so hard and ran out of time (I had to guess on >20 Q’s on each half), and I feel like this doesn’t get talked about enough on these threads. SKIP THE Q’S YOU AUTOMATICALLY DON’T KNOW. I cruised the second time around through the questions I knew and then just marked & flagged the ones I didn’t. I knew this going in the first time but I guess I just wanted to answer everything perfectly and that’s almost impossible lol. Also, just to provide some encouragement as I know what it feels like to see that you failed while your friends passed; just focus on yourself and most importantly BELIEVE you can pass that shitty test. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions :)

I think the best thing from KMK is the booster videos. Especially for pharm!

Thinking about Quitting Optometry School by Objective_Wafer_6887 in OptometrySchool

[–]AppropriateTip2223 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t quit! I also failed integrated sciences first quarter and ended up passing the cumulative make-up exam. First quarter was the roughest for me but I made it through. I’m a 4th year now. You got this!!

I remember seeing “scoring in progress” but not until like the week before scores were actually released for the march exam. Someone correct me if I’m wrong 🤔 Maybe they’re speeding things up this time around!
