If the march exam is passed then there is no guarantee thati n nov ,the clinical can be done as it depends on the numbers of candidates ,their grades ,how many times they have done the prelim,exam etc,they have made the dead lines in a way that if you dont pass one exam then the next possibility is 8-9 month later ,That is the info I have got from gdc .I have already written to the health minister tony Abbott and to the queensland health minister ,as I think they should increase the exam dates and have a better structure and more info.provided to us ,I feel they dont treat us with respect and the system is in the hand of some powerful dentists who dont want competetion so they can justify their high fees and blame it on the dentist shortage .If someone doesnt pass the sep prelim exam then they have to repeat it in march and then wait 9 month for the clinical and by then it is not guaranteed that any place will be offered for the clinical exam.I have talked to the gdc many times .I have also contacted channel 7 (tv)and awiting their response .I think it would help if we were united and made as much noise as possible after all we dont want to avoid the exams we just want more dates atleast one more for the prelim.and one more for the clinical and more information about what isexpected from us in those especially in the clinical exam.
I will not keep quiet untill someone somewhere is listening but we have to do it together .Dont you think?
