Hey,
I want help to decide which one is easier to get through WREB or CRDTS ?
I have to take either, after going through their candidates' manual, ( CRDTS have, # 8 endo and 2 posterior crown preps on manikin, patients-perio case, Class II amagam , Class III or IV composite, or posterior gold crown, any 2 out of 3. For WREB, have to do endo on 2 extracted, one anterior one posterior, , perio diagnosis, perio tretment, same restorative procedures on patient as CRDTS, and no crown or bridge on manikin).
I am too confused which one I should prefer, will appreciate your comments.

I took Crdts last year and felt that grading was fairly leniant except perio. I thinks Wrebs has a higher pass rate. I never did a gold inlay on a patient so that deterred me. My friends who took Wrebs said that the atmosphere was laid back 3 days scheduled for the exam but you could finish in 2. Crdts is scheduled and all 3 days have to be attended

Thanks for your reply.
For Perio, Crdts, deducts points per error ( e.g. calculus left, or pocket depth error). Wreb's criteria is deduct point for what they called 'validated error'. (tissue trauma,)
It's hard to predict anything from manual , WREB appears to be more organised, with very clear scoring criteria as compared to CRDTS.
Do I need to evaluate them so carefully ? Feeling that I should decide anyone and go for it .
