MOC Exam Self-Assessment

The MOC Exam Self-Assessment is an easy-to-use self-review tool developed by the Academy. Test your knowledge and earn CME credit with questions based on the Practicing Ophthalmologists Curriculum (POC) -– the same clinically relevant content that the ABO will use to develop its MOC examinations. Gauge your strengths and weaknesses and prepare for the examinations with confidence that you are focusing on the most relevant information. 

You will receive one-year online access to two complementary self-assessment modes, allowing you to personalize your own study program.

For the DOCK examination, you will be tested in Core Ophthalmic Knowledge (required) and up to two selected PEAs. You may choose to be tested with 50 questions each in two separate PEAs, or with 100 questions in a single PEA other than Refractive Management or Uveitis. However, we suggest that you select two different PEAs. If you select the same PEA twice, all of your subspecialty questions will be drawn from the same item bank.
