The Simulator and Practicum are scheduled as appointments. Please select your preference for the practicum and simulator portions of the exam: I prefer an early morning time slot (8:30 a.m.). I prefer a late morning time slot (10:30 a.m.). I have no preference.

If you will be sharing a model or traveling with another applicant, please provide name of other applicant so appointments can be scheduled together:

10. Exam Reminders (acknowledge by checking each box): * My preferences above will not guarantee a particular appointment date/time. I am responsible for arranging for a live model for the practicum exam. A two-hour appointment time will be provided by the Board to facilitate scheduling arrangements that the applicant and model may need to make. Applicants taking the Simulator exam will automatically have the practicum scheduled either immediately before or after the simulator test. If I bring a model to the exam who cannot pass the qualifications/otoscopic clearance exam, I understand that a substitute model will not be provided and I will automatically fail the practicum portion of the exam. I can find more information about the exam in the EXAM ISSUES section of the website. The Board does not sponsor or endorse a specific preparation workshop for the exam.
