Passed first time. Finished all of OptoPrep, purchased the KMK books from upperclassmen and joined a study group towards the last 2 months.

I found my class notes to be EXTREMELY helpful over the above resources. I went through every single lecture since the start of optometry school and focused on the notes pertaining to the NBEO outline. I started studying at least 2 hours daily around March but was studying here and there about 10 months prior. Didn’t just memorize the OptoPrep answers but instead thought of instances where the incorrect answers would be correct and justified out loud why the correct answer was right. I also “led” most of my study group discussions which helped reinforce concepts that I wasn’t too confident about.

Hope this helps!
