This examination consists of 100 multiple choice questions involving color prints of Cases frequently seen by the ocularist. Each of the three most commonly used ophthalmic fitting techniques require that the ocularist be able to use and handle various types of waxes. The ability to add, remove and generally manipulate the contours of a full or partial wax model is essential. This section of the examination assesses this ability by requiring that the examinee duplicate a conventional prosthetic shape with the provided hard inlay wax while maintaining minimal tolerance in the variance between the wax duplication and sample prosthesis. All work is done in the laboratory of the examinee by the examinee and will be carefully monitored by a proctor appointed by the National Examining Board of Ocularists.

The painting of iris, vascularization, tinting, and finishing of the scleral shell are carefully monitored by a proctor appointed by the National Examining Board of Ocularists. The integrity of the scores awarded examinees for their performance on NEBO examinations is protected by every means available. All possible efforts are expended to assure that the tests are administered under standard conditions and in conformity with the principles on which the test and its scoring are founded. These efforts are made to assure that no examinee or group of examinees receives, either advertently or inadvertently, unfair advantages in the test. Any score that the National Examining Board of Ocularists determines does not represent a reasonable assessment of the examinee's knowledge or competence, sampled by the examination, shall be deemed irregular.
