Wow.... 71 people viewed my post but only one actually took the time out to reply......thanks Richa... yeah i'm going thru the questions now...if u need anything...questions or answers let me know...Good Luck on the exam...we'll compare notes later............

My best advice is to complete all of your reviews by Tuesday night and not study a thing the day before the test...the clarity of mind that you get from taking that one day of rest just before the test can be the difference in a couple of points on the exam...good luck

I wish I didn't waste so much time reviewing old tests. I found zero repeat questions and maybe around 10 with similar concepts but very distinct questions.
I would take the 2004 pilot exam, timed and graded (just don't spend too much time on the clinical vignettes) and figure out which sections you need help on. Then review those sections in Dental Decks.

I didn't really do any released/unreleased exams graded or timed, but for sure there were very few if any repeats in the exam I took last week (even the fluoride question that was repeated SEVERAL times was different and more difficult--I think it went like this: Fluoride becoming incorporated into enamel makes: enamel more reactive in ion exchange, more soluble to acid, harder, and another one I forgot.).
I think your best bet would be to study decks and the Kaplan book (see link below)

Thanks to all those who wished me well on the exam. Study Hard for all those who are going to take it. The questions weren't straight forward...you really had to think....

How would you say the biochem section was in relation to the old exams? Were they representative?

just study and do the best you can. That is all matter. I went through the same thing and it turned out to be fine. If you study a little, you will do fine don't worry and wish you the best...
