Hi
congrates on passing preliminary.
don't worry about the clinical as when i passed my preliminary .. i had also no idea about the clinical exam format and course but i did some research and got information.
Well I don't know about the numbers like CD1 , 2 and 3 but I know what subjects each has got.
one CD has got endo+ peads+ fixed + operative.
the other has got pero + RPD
the 3rd one has got surgery + oral medicine/pathology + infection control +radiology.
so they have put related subjects together.
and if someone fails one CD out of 3, he has to sit in that CD only in supply but if more than one CD than has to reppear the whole exam.
cheers

Hi
Hey... whats this confusion all about? yes. I did my preliminary last September and it is ADC not NZDC. But I got the list when they sent me all the details about the preliminary because they expect us to study all the book (in the list) for the preliminary as well. (we useually use the list only for the clinical) but the thing is most people don't give importance to the list at the time of preliminary preperation.

Is there any site where I can download some material to practise Periodontal probing and charting.

 

[Doctormelbourne]

Is there any site where I can download some material to practise Periodontal probing and charting.

Hi carios!
You can do it from any good dental book..to fill-up the chart is very easy . the important thing is that you can measure (practically)the pocket depth and mobilty etc accuretly in the clinical exam as the examers exactly know the values of your patient. So practice practically . During the exam, you will measure and the nurse beside you will write it in the chart.

Hello every one!

This time the part-1 results were bad. There were all new questions in paper 2 of MCQ. The Questions were very tough and unexpected.

Inspite of people passing in first attempt with grades like A's N B's (In part-1), people are not getting dates for clinicals before one year, due to saturation.
Looks like now if one fails in supplementary exam of clinicals will have to repeat the whole exam again.

From now a valid OET results is required for clinical also.

They are making it tougher n tougher.
Those who are still taking OET should give it a second thaught.

Sydney the number of dentists have already reached saturation.

Regards!

 

[kassia]

I am sitting for the prelim in september. Can you please help me access the common account.

cheers drill

Hello

Belief apart, there are other things to consider, before making up ones mind to sit for the ADC exam, one has to consider the fact that this exam not only requires confidence but also consumes time +money+peace of mind.

One has to plan and see where they are at, because I have seen dentists who have their set clinics in India for years together, PG's who are doing great in India are looking forward to come here. My question to them is, is it worth while on an average 3 to 4 years in this process and that too when things are getting tougher day by day, rules changing, requiring more resources. The major part being time. Please don’t take it as an offence and

Its not that its impossible but one has to see the amount of time and resources involved which is being productively used or not.

Just see the bigger picture…… why the MCQ paper (March 2008) was so unexpected !!?!!………why is now a valid OET required before you apply for clinicals !!?!!........why is now that some of the candidates are asked to repeat the whole clinical exam again if they fail in supplementary!!?!!.........why are the dates for people who have passed part I in March 2008 (first attempt) will be available only from Feb 2009!!?!! No question against the system, the system is just, then whats making these changes!!?!!..........

I am not trying to scare any one but people who are planning to begin with ADC should give it a second thought and for those who are already in the process of seeking dates for clinicals should not take their own sweet time.

I am an orthodontist from Turkey and I am planning to take the OET and ADC exams. I got some info regarding the books that I should read for the ADC exam from the previous posts and I also know the basic steps that should be taken in order to obtain a dental licensure in Australia. However, at the moment, I'd like to have the latest list of books for preparing for the ADC exam. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi there,
I'm also from Turkey and i'm preparing for ADC Exams in Australia.
Basically, follow the instructions in ADC's web site. You do not need to be in rush to do your assesment until ADC PART 1 Exam. Book list is relatively similar with the book list in the forum. If you need any help do not hesitate to ask.

 

[Doctormelbourne]

I have 1060 mcqs and decks 2 but i am in need of Boucher's ....is boucher's dated back to 1979 ...i found it wierd that it could be sooo old ....

Hi
"Comprehensive review of dentistry" by loius J. Boucher was last pulished in late 70s. This rare book is avaible only in some libraries. You can either photo copy it from the library (in parts) or from some friend. But this book is indeed very useful for preliminary as it has got very clear explanations with each MCQs.

hi drmousse,
I have checked the ADC website but it says that valid oet is required before sitting the prliminary exam. where did you get the information about oet bieng required for the clinical exam.
I agree otherwise that it is a tough procedure to get through but it is still a better option if you are a fresh graduate. if someone has a good practice alrredy established then it is not a good option in my view.
And also it is tough every in the world like in UK it is next to impossible and in US you know that the cost is too much for us to pay and plus the visa problems are separate
So i think we are still in good waters and please keep the spirits high.
