How different is 2001 from 2004? Can I just study from 2001?

I wouldn't even hardly study at all. Decks are minimal help. Take maybe a week and read through the decks rather quickly, and you'll probably be as ready as you're ever gonna be... :luck:

I studied from the 2001 and my buddy studied from the 2004. They are pretty much the same. Dental concepts haven't changed within the span of three years.

Just go over it once. Don't dwell on any section. Its not going to help you on the exam. You'll be able to answer questions from your own experiences in clinic.

but make sure you know the behavorial science section really well. There's alot of questions on the NDBE that will make steam come out of your ears.

does anyone have a score conversion chart for any of the old exams? I want to see how many we can get wrong on each section to still pass :)

I'm trying to review the Part II decks right now..... Do you think that it helps at all to review the decks? From your experience, what do you think is the best way to review for this exam? (old tests?... and hope for repeats?)

Thanks for any advice :o

Hi everyone,

I am preparing for the part 2 in dec. I would appreciate if anyone wants to sell the unreleased exams to me. I heard the part 2 is really tough since the quality of radiographs is bad. You can reach me at
bluesky0211y@yahoo.com. Thanks!
