anyone preparing for ee exam in Brampton,Ontario

hi

hey i m in toronto and preparing to give the exam on 13th may.

 

hi i am in Thornhill and also preparing to give the exam on may 13.

 

Hi guys!
I'm planning to give the exam on may (french version). I'm from montreal.
Let's share: what's your material study?
I'm using decks (mostly part II), ndbe part II (released and unrealeased) and past EE exams: 2001-2002 and 2004.
What about you?

 

Hi!

I am in Brampton, Ontario right now. But I'm still undecided about the EE. When are you taking the exam?

Best of luck,
MeiLi

 

Hi!
sorry for not having replied earlier.
Some past exams are available (for free) in the official website of the canadian ndbe: http://www.ndeb.ca/en/accredited/written_examination.htm#section6
others are available for sale in this website:
http://www.freewebs.com/nbde/canadianexamcds.htm

Best of luck

 

We were talking about released exams... Still you've some exam samples in the acfd website: http://www.acfd.ca/en/exam/samples/

Now, about the application form, I guess you should use the one given by the acfd http://www.acfd.ca/en/exam/application/.
Please correct me if I'm wrong...

 

Welcome to Canada .You brought a lot of snow from India with you .
Now plz,clean up everything fast,its very boring to see lot of snow on roads & always be at home!
Anyways with lot of dreams & expectations from Canada,lets hope we get a secure future & our profession here.

Enjoy your first winter & have fun!

 

I am wondering to prepare ee exam.

 

Hi,
I'd like to know if there is anyone around Edmonton preparing for the may EE. And if there is anyone that is interested in discussing previous exams.

 

Hi guys:

It seems all dental programs for international dentists in canada do not offer the DDS diploma after 2-3 years' study. They only issue certificate to the person who have finished the program. Am I correct? Thanks.

 

No, that is NOT true. There are 6 schools that offer the Qualifying Programs/International Program. 4 of the 6 schools offer the International program which will give students the degree cerfiticate either DDS or DMD (U. of British Columbia, U. of Manitoba, U of Alberta, Dalhousie University), and the other 2 offer the Qualifying Program which will only give students a qualifiying certificate (University of Toronto, and the University of Western Ontario). Hope that helps.

 

we could put the questions on here and write the answers with the source or we could use MSN or Yahoo MSN once a week or every other week...depending on people's schedule. Let me know what you think.

 

That's a pretty good idea!

Hi

Sorry for not responding to you earlier. It's just that I am very busy studying for the NBDE I as I'll be taking the exam soon. I'll start preparing for the Cdn. E.E. in January. I live in Toronto. Oh yeah, I forgot about McGill. The thing with them is that they only take one students on a space available basis only. And they need both the NDBE I and Cdn. E.E. which I find quite weird for a Canadian school.

We should definitely use this threat to discuss questions. Hanan has already made a great start . Good job, Hanan. Thanks for the useful websites.

 

Thanks cheer up! I am new to canadian dental system. Can you introduct a little bit detail of requirements for those programs? What is the EE test? Is it like american ndbe part I? Is the pre-clinical skill test mandatory? Thanks again.

 

Hi,
Count me also in your group........

Hi

Most, if not all all of the 6 dental schools require either permanent residency or Canadian citizenship. EE stands for Eligiblity Exam which is an entrance exam. In the US, one has to do the board, here one has to do the E.E. I think the questions on the E.E. mirror the Canadian National Board questions but of course it's not called that. The content includes both Part I and II but mostly on part II material. Each of the schools has its own clinical exam once your're inivited for an interview with them, much like the US schools. I think all the schools have their English requirement and so you have to take the TOEFL or the TOEFL equivalent test, I think. Go to www.acfd.ca to get info on the E.E. and you should to go each of the 6 schools' websites to get an idea of what exactly you need to submit when applying.
Good luck

 

Hi

Most, if not all, of the 7 dental schools require Canadian permanent residency or Canadian citizenship. The E.E. stands for Eligilbity Exam. It's an entrance exam for either the Qualifying Programs or Advanced Standing (or International Dental Completion Program) for the mentioned 7 schools. It's like writing the US parts I or II as the entrance exams to get into their programs. The E.E's content consists of both Parts I and II, but it covers more of Part II material than Part I. If you go the website www.acfd.ca, you'll get a listing of the topics covered on the E.E along with other important information. The questions on the E.E. mirror the Canadian National Board but of course, the E.E itself is not called that. You get to write the 'real" Canadian National Board when, I think, you're in the second year of the program or when you finish it. All the schools have their English requirement and clinical test (if you get invited for an interview....much like the schools in the US). You should go to each of the 7 schools' websites to find out exactly what they require you to submit at the time of application. Good luck

 

Hi

Good luck to all who are studying or will be studying for the E.E on May 13, 2006

Hi...Im also new to canada.Got to learn a lot after going through ur thread.Keep up the good work and also do include me in ur group study
Cheers

 

Hey all
How's everything .. How did the dental education treat you so far ?
from your posts I reckon you all gave your exams in 2004-2005 ..
So how was it , and what were your scores ?
were you able to join a QP or are you still waiting ?
I'm hearing terrifying and frustrating stories all the time about people who have been waiting for 5 years now !!!

So , tell me all about it .. the interviews , the PLA , different programs ...
Please share the experience ..

Thanks , take care
