Ophthalmology Examination Schedule

All ABPS written exams are offered in a computer-based multiple choice format in test centers across the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada.

The computer based format allows the candidate great flexibility in examination scheduling and, in most cases, eliminates the need for long distance travel.

The computer-based examination window usually spans four weeks, and the candidate can schedule on any day during that time that his/her chosen test center is open, and at any time during the day, so long as he/she allows enough time to complete the exam. Most test centers are open Monday through Friday only, a few are open on weekends as well.

Once a candidate is approved to sit for the examination, and the examination fee is paid, ABPS will send the candidate a password and directions for registering for the examination on the date and at the test center of his/her choice.
