The bench format is not changed since I gave the exam. I do have a manikinyasi said:Has the format of bench exam been changed or you have manikin for clinical?
What do u mean for documents for registration? Is this the same as the application forms that needed to be placed in the required folder? Or do you mean that there are other documents needed?yasi said:If you have passed your part 1&2 before end of DEc 2003 and sent your scores last summer to cali dental board and your reference nomber is on their web page ,its ok you can send them your documents for registration

I have been waiting to be called in for the bench. And I'm thinking that maybe I should write the board & let them know that I'm still interested in taking it. Does anybody think that writing them might help?
Rezakh said:😕 Does anybody have any idea when would be the best time to send the RT applications for November 2005 ?

I believe we should send the application form everytime we are applying to be scheduled for an exam.sadanand said:hi,
whats this sending aplication about ?? i thought we all have sent it before only . do we need to send it again ???i mean what did wew send in that end tab folder ???
please let me know .
😕 Actually I received a cancellation letter the last time I applied for the RT test, stating I had not been scheduled for the test.sadanand said:hi again,
i thought our application will be considered for every exam. when i called the DBC they asked me if i had received anything known as cancellation letter, & only then i need to reapply.
besides when u said "resend the application" did u mean we have to do everything all over again? i mean get a fresh applicatiopn from DBC, get it signed from the previous college at home, get the finger printing done again & send it to DBC ???
please let me know either ways.
i guess someone who gave exam in april 2005 can throw light on this ! it would be of great help to all of us.

i was just going through the DBc website , & thought this might be useful .
http://www.dbc.ca.gov/pdf/rt_faq_revised.pdf.
in this FAQ 17, they have said ,
what will happen if my application is not selected for nov 2004 exam? & teh answer is " if u r not selected for nov 2004 exam , u r application will be retained by the board unless u request to have it returned.
same information is available in the following link too.
http://www.dbc.ca.gov/pdf/rt_ref_number_updated_for_rt_exam3.pdf
any more info on this is welcome.
Can anybody tell me how I can reapply for the RT test? Should I send them a letter or just call the DBC?ELYES said:Just to clarify my previous post I was talking about new applications for people who have never submited an application.

That is the question; are you sure about that?futurdentist said:What is all this application confusion??
I sent my appliaction before the april exam. I was not scheduled to take the exam in april and I didn't receive anything from the dbc.
Does that mean that there is somrething I should do to tell them that I am waiting to be scheduled in any coming exam?
I thought that we just send the application once and just keep waiting to be scheduled???? 😕
Thank you Mekish.mekish said:I've read in the DBC website that the best time to send the RT applications is when the deadline for filing is established. So just wait. If u have sent it already, they will send it back to you. Believe me, I made the same mistake.
Is it really possible to send other applications before every exam? do we have to send our applications to be signed by the faculty dean overseas again? I've had a hard time preparing the application the first time. How many times do we have to go through all this hassle?Rezakh said:That is the question; are you sure about that?
I really don't want to be told that I should have sent another application.
If you had any news on that please let us know.
Hi i am quite new to this site.I have taken a bench course with DSI because i also thought that its an expensive one , but when i compared the rates and hours to UCLA and other schools i think its worth it if you really do whatever he tells and whatever he teaches.I feel that think about it as an investment for life that is going to pay you after you are finished with the steps.Actually i am still waiting for my turn in bench because i have not taken it once.so hopefully this timeexplorer2010 said:Ivorinedust: I can sure understand your anger and feelings. I am suprised to see that letter too. I don't think DSI need such marketing, as everybody taking bench very well know about them and will make their own decisions irrespective of any advertisement.
Have you heard of dental offices calling their regular patients during their down times ?
By the way what DSI stands for ?- Dollars Sucking Institute ??
I called them about the confirmations or the reference numbers but they say we have a meetimg on Aug 18 and next year they are going to change the exam pattern also.May be after the meeting they are ready to send out the confirmations.Hydrogen said:🙁 Anyone knows when the board is going to publish the selected refence numbers
