Welcome to our Optician Practice Test Site!
Our unlimited sample tests simulate the ABO/NCLE certification exams and help you PASS your National Boards in opticianry and contact lens fitting. Testing with us can give you knowledge and confidence. Thousands of applicants have to sit their certification exams multiple times, but YOU could pass them on the very first try! All it takes is practice. Practice makes perfect, after all.
We offer two types of preparatory tests: the Practice Opticianry Exam, and the Practice Contact Lens Exam.
The opticianry exam simulates the NOCE and provides you with 100 optician questions of varying difficulty. Our contact lens exam gives you 125 contact lens questions to prepare you for the CLRE. Each of our practice exam programs can help you to ACE your Optical Boards!
