Prepare now for the September DOCK exam

Whether you plan to take the Demonstration of Ophthalmic Cognitive Knowledge (DOCK) exam or participate in the new ABO Quarterly Questions pilot program, the Academy has the tools you'll need to ensure success.

Study the way you learn best. Some need dedicated quiet time to memorize and do practice questions, while others learn best in active study groups with peers.

Use study time efficiently. Answer self-assessment questions to identify knowledge gaps and focus your study sessions on key areas.
