Hey everyone,
I am a Canadian student thinking of going to an American school for Optometry. I understand there are separate boards I need to write if I want to practise in the States and in Canada. My question is if anyone has past experience writing both exams and if they are somewhat similar? Would I be prepared to write the Canadian exam if I study in the States? I appreciate any feedback!! Thanks 🙂
