Can you please provide some feedback? Appreciate it!
I just borrowed mine from a friend. But,I think you can buy first aid and dental decks in amazon. You can buy second hand to save some bucks. it doesn't really matter if it's latest edition i think? But i'm not sure...

Hi guys.. just wanted to add a few words.. I received my result and I passed. The exam is not as tough as everyone is saying. They were quite basic ASDA type questions. No new models. Read ethics also. I used dental decks, first aid and lot of wikipedia. Good luck to all.
BTW, Im selling my dental decks 2012 edition, first aid, first aid q &a, kaplan dentessentials. Please PM me if anyone wants to buy them.
Hi guys! I failed the exam... :'(( it says that my score is 74%. I thought that it's only pass or fail, i didn't know that the scores will be shown if failed. Anyway, I am 1% shorter to passing score. It's frustrating! Anyway, I might take the second one on december, good luck to those who are gonna take the exam! The only thing I can advice right now is just do your best and just focus on 2-3 study materials and repeat it. Good luck!
@ sone09 can u elaborate a bit on how much u studied and from where and how many hours I am so nervous can't retain things I m keep on forgetting the stuff
Thanks alot
Hi Sone09, Sorry about your result, but I really do like your courage. You are the first person to fail and come out boldly to say so and also encourage other test takers. The Lord will crown your effort with success as prepare again. All the best.
Hey hi. I was interested in dental decks 2012. zdonu stil hv it for sale?hey everybody! interested in NBDE 1 dental decks please mail me ur request at [email protected]
good luck
It's okay. Bad things happen and there's really nothing to be ashamed of. I'm not saying that I did my best because I know I can always do better. Everyone can always do better. Thank you!
sone 09 , can you please tell me that are the remembered questions of any help........and what do you advice to study.......iam doing only asda and decks......
can you please tell me that remembered or unreleased questions are of any help in the real exam or not and also are decks and asda enough???
i have my on 5 sept and i am scared now.......i have already rescheduled it 3 times.......and every time i feel the same sacred and unconfident....please help
Hi! Yup, I think those are enough. My score's 74. I'm sure if I was feeling well that time I could have gotten 1% more to pass but I wasn't. Uhmmm it's hard to tell because there are too many questions. But some asda questions were there and the basic knowledge dental decks provides I think its enough too. Just be sure you eat well and light before exam, the greatest regret of my life right now is eating mcdonalds for breakfast right before my exam. Haha! Good luck!
Don't worry i felt the same way and got my results and had the big P on it. Im guessing your result must be sent to you by now. Hope You passedHey All the best!
even m planning to start studying. can u pls help s in m planning to buy all study material n where from m suppose to buy these books? do they need to b latest editions?
All You need is the deck and First AID AND the ASDA Papers. From all my friends everyone has passed. I know only few people that did not cause they went into too much depth reading the lecture notes.I see lot of posts about studying from Wikipedia. I'm curious what exactly to study from wiki?
Hey Guys! Just joined this to tell everyone about my experience of taking the NBDE PART 1 last month. (JULY) GOT MY RESULTS AND I PULLED THROUGH.
The first part was quit difficult for me, it really demotivated me. Alot of questions where not in any of the study material.
The second part was much better. Alot of repeated questions had come from the ASDA Papers. Most of the testlets were simple and some were confusing. KNOW YOUR DRUGS THAT CAUSE XEROSTOMIA
Know your PREMOLARS!!!!
In a nutshell what I can say is the new exam starting 2012 has become more difficult as we are getting a P/F. (Personal Opinion)
But it is not that bad. From my network, 29 have passed and 4 have failed.
Lat minute advise i can give you is make sure you do the ASDA PAPERS G-N ,A-F were kind useless as nothing came from them. I had Close to 120 Questions repeated.
Materials I used:
First AID Nbde PART 1
DENTAL DECKS
ASDA PAPERS!-- I know they are a bit expensive but totally worth it. I found some on Ebay for 90.00 I think they still have them.
GOODLUCK GUYS!!!
HOPE THIS HELPED
Hey i took the exam in end of june , got my result in 12 days , and thankfully i passed .
i studied from first aid, dental decks 2012, and asda papers . in my perception test wasn't hard , it just needs repetition of your subjects . i had been studying off n on for 5 months n then last two months were the real effort based studying ..
ask me anything if anyone need help , n i do have latest decks n they were absolutely very helpful , lemme know if anyone is interested in getting them from me .
Good luck all of you .
I received a letter yesterday with a PASS 13 days after I took the test. I used ASDA released exams + Decks 2012/2013 + First Aid as resources and studied for 5 weeks.
Overall, the exam was not that bad, but some of the questions were very much conceptually oriented. Sufficient time to go over entire exam, but the second part of the test was quite exhausting. Make sure to be hydrated! Gluck guys.
Hi, when didi you gave the exams, i gave my exams on 23rd and i am still waiting for my results.. please let me know
Are you in US or outside of US?
Wow, congratulations, Swetha T N! Good luck on everything! I assume when you posted your question. Your letter was already in the post office......hi i got my results yesterday.. And i am passed.
Congratalations! Are you going to sell your study material? The deck is 2012?I pass!!
wanna giv some feedback 2 everyone.
old test is about 20~30% testlet about 30% others are new Qs
if u do the old test quite hard.. i think ull get over the new Qs as well
and dental occlusion is the easiest part of the test for me
toughest would be the biochem for sure
i study 2 months....at first only 3 hrs a day...but for the last 3weeks
i do nothing but studying and that helps me to memorize n hav quick response to the similar or easy Q
my study materials are deck,first aid,old tests
im not a smart guy, and my suggestion for those like me is...
dont make the preparation too long, coz u forget everything in the end and this makes u panic!
so try to focus on it in 5~6 weeks and im sure ull pass!
