Don't worry. ASDA papers are harder than the real exam. Just stay cool and confident, you will do good.

I am still waiting for the result. If you are talking about asda papers they are available online as torrents for free, all except packet N

I'd say first aid for everything except dental anat...for that I used old textbooks. After that I did dental decks. God knows what the result will be though. I watched a lot of Armando husudagan videos on YouTube for phyiso biochem as well.
Msg me your emaul id I will email the asdas. I don't have packet N though, that is in hardcopy

dental decks have sufficient information for DA except TMJ, which needs to be read from other sources too as there were many questions in the exam. i also did first aid for DA, but that alone is not enough. I haven't done kaplans but ppl say DA should be done from it
 
Hi vivaciousvicky, All the best for your results! could u plz send me the asda question papers to [email protected]. It will be very helpful, thank you!
 
Also ,let me know if you would like to sell the hard copy of the question papers.

Great news ! Congratulations VivaciousVicky ! For how long did you study ?

I studied on and off for 6 months, whenever i felt like it. But actual hardcore studying was about 12 days 13+ hours. In that time I did decks twice, 3 asda everyday. I had done pathology asda beforehand.

How would you say your exam was ? Tough ? Or easy if you know your basics well ?
 
I found the exam tough. Came out dissatisfied. It was tougher than the asdas. But knowing your basics is alot of help. I would say 30% of exam was really hard. The rest was doable but many questions were twisted. there is multiple answer questions in testlets but these carry no marks, I checked in 2014 guide, but I did not expect that for my exam so I freaked out.
