Yes you should know almost entire body anatomy for this NBDE 1 exam.There are quetions on lower extremity as well as abdomen also.So its better to know everything.Most of the topics are covered in Dental decks.So no need to worry about it.Decks will definitely help you.Dont worry so much just start reading and you will figure out things once you are done with reading.
Good luck

Thank you so much for the advice.u boosted my morale.but as im going thru the kaplan q bank,im unable to answer even 30% of the questions.all the questions are so much in detail n there are hardly any questions on the head n neck!!!!!!! so is kaplan q bank worth it???????

Just speaking from my own experience:
I had no questions on the lower extremities and maybe two questions on the arms, one of which was on the brachial plexus and another I can't recall.

If I was studying for part I again I would definately focus on the abdomen, thorax and head/neck. I'd also make sure I knew the brachial plexus. Just my opinion.

I dont know about kaplan Qs bank.One of the SDNer suggested that if you have time then do it or else leave it .So if you have enough time now, its better to do all Qs from kaplan quetion bank.I feel there is no harm in doing that.Moreover pattern is also changing now so it might help.

Good luck

Just study the head, neck, thorax, & abdomen. Also oral histo and basic histo are hit pretty hard. If you are gettin 70% of the questions right that is probably about like scoring high 80's or maybe even low 90's; so don't worrry. I think the best strategy is to go through the topics in the decks or in the First Aid for the NDBE and look them up in Netter's and study the pictures.

Good luck.
