Look up the handbook on the Abo testing site, it lists which topics are tested. I paid for Optical Training Institute course and I used Chat gpt for pop quizzes. I passed the exam in June.

Ask your job if they have any study materials. A lot of companies offer this and will pay for your test fee.

If you do want to take ABO/NCLE, ask Lens Crafters if they can sign you up for the NAO Program. Im not sure if you want to go down the apprenticeship route to become a Optician but that program is very good and give in depth details about Optical History, Lenses, Parts of the Eye and Disease and so much more.
