Hi
To apply to ACFD visit their website: www.acfd.ca
After you get you u think is a good score apply to the different universities with their requirements.
From there it depends upon the schools to call you for the interview or not but all of these schools have practical exams so you will have to prepare for those.
The biggest thing at this point of time is to get a good score and leave the rest for later on.

All the best and hope this helps you a little.
 
Hi Everyone

I really dont know from where someone got the information that the coming EE is going to be easy. Please dont get your hopes high and prepare to the best of your ability.

One thing that I want to bring to your attention is that NDEB changed the exam for their regular students which almost everyone found to be difficult. I will try and get some questions from those students and post them so that people who gave their exam in sept can see if they are the same or not , otherwise it is just a hunch that the exam format might be changed again. i am not sure when I will be able to post those as right now these students are writing their exams.

Not to get your hopes down but just want to help so that everyone can get a good score and move on.

All the best.

Hi Bridge
thanxs for the info.
how much score u need for this exam and where i can get study material for this.Do they have any exam centre in usa or need to go tocanada to appear in this exam. :confused:
THANX
 
Hi
You need to come to Canada to write this exam specifically either Toronto or Vancouver.
 
Hi Bridge,
Is this mentioned somewhere that NDEB format has changed on the web? Please if you find out about any questions ,do post them as it will benifit all of us ( as you know that the next exam is on May 13).
Thanks
Nkhalid
 
Hi NKhalid

No it is not mentioned anywhere that the format has changed. What I ment by format being changed was that till last yr they were getting questions a lot form the previous question papers but this time they did not even have 10% repeats. I will try my best but cannot promise you anything as the people who will give me these questions start writing their exams from tomorrow - final exams so I cannot disturb them right now. I hope u will understand my position.
 
Hi....Im giving my EE this may....wanted to know if they have questions coming from Part 1, as most of the people suggested that Part 2 prep is more than sufficient.Kindly adv

Yes, you can work in the US after finishing an Advanced Standing Program in Canada. However, you have to take the American NDBE I and II, and I think the State Board in which you want to practice dentistry.
 
Hi doctor,

Let me know if intrested in teaming up to prepare for the eligibility exam.

Best of Luck.

Hi bridge,
Thanks for keeping your promise, I really appreciate it.

Hey guys thanx for everything I am just trying to pitch in a little from my side.
From what I am seeing from the questions posted and the ones I have put up it seems they are from the same pool. So please check them out very carefully.

Also i do understand each one is working very hard but confirm them before you actually stick to those. I have seen some controversial answers with which I dont completely agree for eg the ADA antibiotic prophylaxis. Valvular dysfunction is major concern for prophylaxis but it is excluded from the list. So please double and triple check alll the answers it is worthwhile.

From my personel experience I remember reading somebody's answers and writing the exam and then next time when I verified there were about 10-15% wrong answers . Also when you read to confirm those answers you may just come up with something important and it may help u later.

All the best everyone and hoping that each one succeedes in their endeavours.
 
does anyone know what's the problem with the may 2006 exam prep thread....cause when I try to get into it it says invalid thread...am I the only one having this problem?????

I will keep it for myself for the time being until anyone here shows he does have some more questions that we can exchange. Hurry up ! the exam is next saturday.

DDS/DMD in Canada and United States are reciprocally recognized. If you are already a dentist in Canada and want to work in the States you don't have to do NBDEI &II. But what you must do is the regional board licensing examination ie. NERB, WREB etc. These are clinical exams unlike Canadian's which is OSCE.

Really? If you're a practising dentist in Canada, you don't have to take the NBDE I and II? I always thought one has to take those to practise in the States in addition to the regional board licensing examination. Has it always been this way or is this policy new?
