Anybody here who have any idea where we can get the reviewer for the wreb theoretical ? the perio and the prostho? heard that they are kind of tough . Have anybody here who have taken the wreb review course ? do they hand out the reviewer for those said subjects.

Because for the Cal State board , there are reviewer for the endo , perio and prostho .

 

[manatwork]

hey
I would sincerly suggest that if you are going to practice in california you should start thinking of moving here bettter soooon than later ...when you are closer here you will get all the patients and review courses ,,and all the info and help even if you group together with people who are taking the exam
that will be a big help over there you will be singled out
just a suggestion !!!!

Dear bansu thats a very sincere , honest and right suggestion ,and supposetly thats what I should do.we were going to move to CA 3 years ago with great enthusiasm and energy,but as you know after waiting for 3 years to take the rt we kind of lost the interest, its like (I burnt out).and on top of every thing if you have a cozy nest, relatively secured income ,good school for the kids ,as a parent it's very hard to get red of every thing and go towards uncertainty.thats why I would rather pass the clinical get a job and then bring the family.it's not an a easy task .but I really greatfull to your suggestion. happy holidays!

I have bought them from Dr Duggan for the price of 400.00 USD . Willing to get rid of them for a discounted price ( price negotiable ) . anybody interested can pm me .

If you are a local graduate then wreb is the best choice since you will be able to practice on the states that recognize wreb and i heard it is a lot . but if you are a foreign graduate dentist then you have to take ca clinical for you to practice here or you can take wreb then study post grad or apply for residency then you can practice in Texas because this state accept foreign graduate with specialized skill in specific dental field . ( like orthodontist, prosthodontist , etc ) You can inquire if you want to be sure coz these are the information that i have from asking other dentist here and searching wreb website.

Hi to all,
I will be taking UCLA clinical review course from January 20 to January 28.
If any female student would like to share a room let me know.
Thanks

 

[chiopea]

Hi guys, I decided to take the wreb exam but to tell you the true I don't have a clue how to start getting ready for it. The UCLA class won't start until the 12th of feb. (as you all know everybody is on vacations)
If somebody who already passed this exam have some input on it, please let us know.
Also any advice of what books should I get to study from for the written part
or if somebody interested in selling handouts and/or endo typodont , please pm me.

Happy holidays to all of you! and overall to all the bench takers..never give up!!!

 

[Adent]

thanks for the valuable info,I was wondering which course would you recomend for WREB, and if there is any comprehansive reviews for the theoretic part.and lastly is there any offices that provide patients for this exam in the east cost?. thanks in advance.

Not sure if there are any courses or patient services on east coast. The best would be to look for patients among relatives, friends etc as they are the most reliable. I took the UCLA course. For the theory part I read mostly from the textbooks...covered all important chapters thats it.
(Perhaps we should move to a different thread and leave this for the bench exam discussion)

Hi Chrystle,

I have not decided yet what hotel I am going to stay. The main considerations are whether I have a roommate, the proximity to UCLA and the price.
The course is from january 20 to january 28.

I got a modest passing grade on composite with

1.5mm incisal-cervical length, 1.2mm m-d width. I did not bebel the margins. Outline form was rectangular with definate internal line angels. I cleared buccal contact minimally. Cervical contact cleared by .5mm.
there are other factors that can give you a failing grade other than wrong measurments. Was the restoration faulty?-overhang, underfilled, scratches, etc? Did you damage adj. tooth or gingiva? Did you submit dirtty typodont? This alone will piss off the examiner.

good luck next time. you can make it.

I got a modest passing grade on composite with

[teeth37990]

hi zuunish,

make sure that they sent you the right critique with your right candidate number. i'm not trying to imply anything except for the fact that the board makes mistakes in sending out wrong critiques. it happened to me.
if you are truly sure that it's your own critique, check out the earlier replies to this thread for advise on appeals procedure.

good luck.

Hi, Im selling two kilgore typodonts. One is equilibrated and is ready for the exam- never was used,
(I brought it as a back up for the april test and didn't use it). The second one was used during the test only and is missing the teeth that were assigned (#3,#5,#8,#10,#19). I also have some other extra teeth. I passed the exam last april at the UOP school.
If somebody interested pm me.

 

[zuunish]

Hello everyone!

I am interested taking a preparation course for the Ca Clinical board, but I am not able to stay in LA to take any of the courses offered there.
I live in the bay area San Francisco, so if you guys know any option for me or have any study material that I can use to study for the clinical board I would greatly appreciate it.

Please send me a message
Thank you so much

If anybody get letter for rt exam in feb please post

If anybody get letter for rt exam in feb please post

I don't think anybody will be selected until the deadline of Jan 8th. so everybody should expect to be notified late. I thought they said in the meeting they had last summer that starting 2007 candidates will be notified 2 months before the exam. Maybe I was dreaming

Anybody who has taken the WREB after successfully completing the RT exam please pm me.

 

[Chrystle]

For all those taking the RT exam good luck ,

I took my exam at UOP last Nov 2006 . I took my course at UCLA with Dr Stevenson , there are notes reviewers ,but actually the one that really help is practice . you have to be determine to take at least 2 hrs a day to practice daily . start with class 2 since it is 100% . then class 3 prep and finish it is another 100% . try to get higher grades on these two so that it will pull your grade.
Actually we enrolled on the class to have an intensive practice to know the measurement of the preparations . techniques? well it depend individually , my friends technique doesn't suit mine , i can't do it so as my technique does not suit her. .
By the way , you can send your work to be critic to Dr Stevenson . It is 250.00 USD for 12 teeth , ( like 10 preps and 3or 2 restorations) can't remember well . you can check it at [email protected]
For now i am doing a favor for my 4 friend's who i belive failed because of measurements. I am getting measurements data from all the people i know who have passed then i am going to post it here . Again good luck to all . I will be going to UCLA for the clinical course hopefully i can collect more informations then from my classmates there at the course.
