 Good NBEO Studying Tool December 12, 2008
This review really helped prepare me for boards as a self-evaluation tool to determine which areas I needed to concentrate my studying. Most of the chapters were very concise and representative of the questions that appeared on the national boards.
A few chapters did not give a good representation of the questions that actually appeared on the exam, but overall the questions were very similar to the types of questions were actually asked on the exam.
Overall I would recommend the book to anyone who is preparing for boards and needs a little direction on which areas to emphasize their studying.
 Excellent resource for the boards February 24, 2008

I used this book almost exclusively in studying for part 2 of the boards. I would answer the questions from each section and if I scored below 60% on a section, I would read more about it in my optometry notes. My boards part two score was greater than 600 (300 is needed to pass)! I highly recommend this book.
Thorough review for NBEO II August 29, 2007
4 out of 4 found this comment useful.
Overall, I found this review guide very helpful in preparing for the NBEO. As the product description says, the book is divided into sections following the same format and weighting as the actual exam: There are many more ocular disease/trauma questions than public health questions, for example.
With each answer, there is a rationale explaining why that choice is correct, or why the others are wrong... this is awesome!
One of the things I noticed was that the questions, especially in the systemic section, focused a lot on the nitty-gritty details. This made it really challenging and at times, discouraging (which is why I gave 4 stars, not 5). However, after taking the test I felt (as did many of my classmates) that the questions on the actual exam tended to be slightly easier than the ones in the book, but that similar topics were covered.
So -- even if you never actually sit down and do all the questions, this book will give you a good idea of what conditions/diseases, etc. to review.
Good luck!

This book is so helpful for NBEO part 2! I studied this and it really helped me learn areas I was weak and strong in. The questions about ethics are especially helpful. I strongly recommend this to anyone studying for part 2 boards as an additional resource.
