I would be just rewriting First Aid if I told you all the important stuff for cardio and pulmonary. There really is no short cut around it, just know everything in First Aid for these subjects, it's actually not a whole lot. As fo occlusion, if you don't feel you learned it from Okeson than try wheelers, but don't waste time reading everything about it if you have a good grasp. It's tested at a basic level.

congratulations and thank u very much for all your help ,your pste give us greate boost to do the exam
thank u

Congratulations Thunderdome!!!
It was very helpful of you to share your experience!
I'm preparing for Part 1 and i'm planning to give it in 2010.The question is when did you take the date of your exam?Was it before you started the prep or when you were half way through your prep??
I would really appreciate your reply and it would guide me too..
Thanks,

I would say official released exams are the best. The library at your dental school should have them, or you can buy them.

I think I did '04, '98, '96. Others in my class went back to 1986; maybe 7-8 released exams in all.

How good is a score of 88/89 on previous exams in both path-micro and biochem-physio sections? (While testing at home )

congrats I want to ask that doing lots of questions like exam master other than released questions will it help?

Sure, well I used the USMLE book because I was finding it difficult to memorize everything without mnemonics, and I found that the USMLE book was loaded with simple mnemonics to memorize just about everything I needed for biochem and micro! I did in fact use the entire section of biochem and micro from the USMLE book and found them to be incredibly useful. Their micro is in fact more in depth than ours, but than again, the exam is kind of in depth when it comes to micro as well. I used my on judgement when deciding what not to study from the USMLE book based on released exams. So all in all, I used the released exams to help guide me as to what topics were heavily tested and then I used my resources accordingly. Efficiency is key!

Where can I find the released exams??? please let me know
