NBEO prep for optometry board candidates exam help

The National Board of Examiners in Optometry entry-into-the-profession examination sequence includes Part I ABS Applied Basic Science, Part II PAM Patient Assessment and Management with embedded TMOD Treatment and Management of Ocular Disease items, and Part III PEPS Patient Encounters and Performance Skills, with additional exams such as ISE depending on jurisdictional requirements. NBEO states that Part I ABS tests the basic science concepts needed to enter clinical optometry practice and consists of 350 scored items plus 20 non-scored pre-test items across two 185-item sessions, with four hours for each session, a tutorial and NDA period, and an optional break between sessions. Part II PAM assesses clinical thinking and decision-making with heavy emphasis on diagnosis and treatment; it consists of 350 items, including about 120 TMOD items, across two 175-item sessions with 3.5 hours for each session. Part III PEPS addresses case analysis, critical thinking, and essential skills in simulated-live patient encounters. HiraEdu helps candidates prepare ethically with eligibility review, content-outline mapping, timed session practice, case analysis, ocular disease review, clinical-skill rehearsal, and Pearson/NBEO logistics. Candidates must complete their own optometry board exams.
