Some candidates may be required to take a state board-prepared examination regarding the statutes, rules, and regulations that govern the practice of optometry in that state. Historically, some states have given PAPER law exams through the NBEO immediately preceding or following the Part III examination. The PAPER law exam program has been discontinued. Beginning in January 2010, NBEO will initiate the ONLINE State Law Exam (OSLE) program. Some states then will administer their state law exams in an online version through the NBEO website. As a candidate takes the law exam, the NBEO website will provide a link to the chosen state optometry board website, which in turn will serve as a reference source for the candidate by presenting the optometry laws specific to that state. An official score of a state law exam administered by the NBEO must be obtained directly from that state board; the law exam score will not appear on the NBEO Official Score Report.
The states currently requiring an online state law examination administered by the National Board are listed below. Click on any of the states below to obtain additional information and requirements specific to each state.
For some states, candidates must register with BOTH the state optometry board AND the NBEO, to be eligible to take the online state optometry law exam through the NBEO. To view individual state requirements, please click on the states above.

While some state board online law examinations will be administered through the National Board of Examiners website, the state board law examinations are totally unrelated to the Part III examination, and the NBEO will have no responsibility for the content or official scoring of any state board examination. State optometry boards will dictate all rules for the dissemination of optometry law exam scores.
Candidates can request on the application screen to register for one or more online state law examinations. There is a non-refundable fee of $25 for each state law exam. Candidates will be able to take their required state law exam(s) at any time on any internet-connected computer, within the testing time intervals assigned by the various state boards. The online exams may be initiated, paused, and then resumed at the candidates’ discretion, for as long a time window as is permitted by the state whose law exam is being taken. Any law exam registration or testing time limitations or restrictions imposed by the various state boards can be viewed by clicking on any state listed above. For state law exams that are open year-round, candidates will have 14 days to complete their exam once they successfully log onto the ONLINE State Law Exam (OSLE) program and begin their exam.
