Prep built around how the OCANZ written exam really works
The Clinical Science paper isn't just a recall test. It asks you to apply optics, anatomy and clinical science the way a safe, entry-level optometrist in Australia or New Zealand would, at about 75 seconds a question and without a calculator. We built OCANZExamPrep around that.
How we write questions
We don't use leaked or "recalled" exam questions. Each question is written from the competency areas and question guide in OCANZ's COE Examination Guide, mapped to the Optometry Australia Entry-level Competency Standards 2022, then checked against current Australian and New Zealand standards and guidelines, such as Austroads Assessing Fitness to Drive, the NHMRC diabetic retinopathy guidelines and the AS/NZS eye protection and sunglass standards. The working is shown in the explanation, so you can check our work.
How we keep it current
OCANZ updates its fees each financial year and revises its exam guide, and clinical guidelines change as evidence emerges. We review every exam page against OCANZ's current published information and show when it was last checked (currently November 2026).
How we fit with OCANZ's resources
Start with OCANZ's COE Examination Guide, the Competency Standards and its sample questions. OCANZExamPrep adds what most candidates say they're missing: lots of exam-style practice, timed mock exams, spaced-repetition flashcards, a mistakes bank and a Readiness Score that tells you when you're ready.
