Hi, I'm in the same boat, you're not alone!

I'm struggling to find resources myself, anyone have any advice please??

 

[NittanyLion29]

That's not the handbook the publish. It's called Dental Act or something.

 

[baharkkk]

Guys, I am taking that too. Do you have any sample questions or study guide ?!

 

[NittanyLion29]

I'm using 'embrasurespace' but everyone ik has failed it 1-2 times before passing...if anyone can help...please.....

Course Content - #51293: The California Dental Practice Act - NetCE

Although its primary objective is to safeguard the public, the California Dental Practice Act is an excellent resource for dental professionals to ensure compliance with state law. The California Dental Practice Act is the body of laws in the California Business and Professions Code and the...

This CE (resources are at the bottom including the dental practice act in full) should give you any and all study that you need.

Did anybody end up finding any good study materials other than the incredibly confusing and dense ENTIRE LAW CODE of California on the Dental Board's website? How do they expect me to read through thousands of clauses over hundreds of pages and memorize specific $ amounts for certain penalties? Insanity

Did you/"everyone you know" that failed end up passing eventually?

I failed the exam the first time, and passed it the second time. I ended up buying the embrasure space study guide and it filled in the holes of info that I didn’t have before taking the test the first time.

Okay thanks!

I failed the exam on Tuesday and they gave me the paper application for Re-examination.
It was funny how I asked PSI for the first time, they told me to send the paper to California Dental Board. I asked the Board, they said the eligibility will automatically sent to PSI in 5-7 days. I've not been able to re-sign up for retaking.
I asked PSI the second time, one of their employees told me to send the paper to their HQ in Vegas. Anyone who is retaking or did retake before? Can you please help me? I bought Embrassurespace to study but I felt like the questions were mostly scenario-based and it took longer than I expected. Thank you for helping me

Did you have any luck? Did you feel like embrasure space was sufficient? I feel like there were still some blanks after completing the course.

 

[chrisnguyen92]

Hi Mamadang, I passed last Thursday. It is not sufficient. I still remember some questions from it. If you email me I can share some more with you.
Best,

This sounds rather ethical

This sounds rather ethical

Because knowing every single stupid law and regulation California implements in their 200 page lawbook is really something to worry about ethic's-wise? Get off your rather high horse

Hi, I just failed Ca Law and Ethics exam. The PSI center gave me a reexamination form to send to Ca Dental board. I mailed the form already to the board. Could I know what happened with you? Have the eligibility been sent automatically to PSI or I have to wait until receiving a note from the board (by mail) so I can re-sign up for retaking? So after how long you were able to retake the exam and how? Thank you so much.

I thought the Embrasure Space study guide was pretty good. I just took it a few days ago and I honestly didn't find it too hard. I had about 6 questions I was unsure about, the rest were straightforward. Some were very similar to what's on Embrasure Space so that was super nice. That said, I know people who failed the first time so it might just depend on the test you get.

 

[dentalgirl77]

anyone want to split embrasure space?

 

[artist2022]

Took and passed this last week, +1 to the embrasure space study guide as well as the documents the CDA has for the Dental Practice Act and Table of Permitted Duties, and the articles they have on specific topics when you're logged in

 

[gleccc]
