Our NBEO Boards Part 1 Experience + Tips | Podcast ep 2

[@joanna9051]

Hello! I was wondering how you utilized KMK if you did not read the textbook. Did you only watch the videos several times? Do you think that helped you more than reading? Thanks!

[@KhanhTon]

Watched the videos 2x, flash cards everyday, and then practice questions!

[@nat-er4iz]

What videos did you watch? optoprep?

[@KhanhTon]

KMK

[@nat-er4iz]

I haven't finished watching this video so sorry in advance if you answered, but my question is.. how early should you start studying for boards?

[@KhanhTon]

Depends on how disciplined, your specific optometry school curriculum, and well you work under pressure! There’s no perfect answer for when you should start

[@nat-er4iz]

@@KhanhTon thank you!!

[@nella10123]

Hey Jessica how was the first two years of optometry school for you? Looking forward to starting next fall!

[@Henrytheturtlee]

hi! I'm a middle school student and have to select an endorsement next year. I have always wanted to be an optometrist and purse optometry. However, I am not sure if I should take STEM or Public service endorsements in high school. What endorsement would you recommend will set me on the path I need to become an optometrist?

[@heshapatel1001]

Can you prepare a detailed video for undergraduate admission at UH for optometry?

[@brendanfu3020]

Congrats to you three on passing boards!! You must have been pumped when you first found out the news, and deservedly so! I just bought my KMK (taking boards in March 2022) and was wondering if there was any particular order that you watched their videos / read their material? Also, I hope you're liking your rotations so far!!

[@KhanhTon]

Oh good point I should have mentioned that! KMK had a set schedule of how you should watch their videos so I just followed that! Good luck!! March 2022 let’s gooo

[@ProperEng]

Thanks Khanh! Great advice. Really appreciate you creating this

[@KhanhTon]
