Ok, fine. It's not really the curriculum.. but I have questions about the boards.

Schools mention parts I and II and their passing rates. But, I was looking at optometry.org, and there are part III, TMOD and ACMO tests.

My question: Which years do you take part I and II while in school? What about those other tests that no one ever mentions? When would you take this?

Bump. does anyone know the answer to this or can offer anything?

Part I is during your 3rd year, in March. Part II is in 4th year in December. I'm not sure when exactly Part III, TMOD, and ACMO are taken.
