OphthoQuestions:All
of our questions are made by recently board-certified Ophthalmologists or trainees who are
very familiar with the test. One of
the reasons behind the creation of the website was the feeling that a lot of
question books and banks had old and unreliable material made by individuals
who passed the exam 20-30 years ago. A
lot of questions were either too esoteric or too easy. We feel we have created a good
balance. Similar in Format to Exam: Our test engine simulates the real exam with its timer and testing format. This offers a large advantage over print questions because it gets you ready for what the test will really be like. |
