"That pass/fail thing" (lol) won't be implemented until Jan/2012.

hi..i am sure its not that easy as for indians now,even people getting above 90's are not getting admissions and waiting for over 2,3 years.
this is sad news as all of us try to give try with our luck but the number of seats are limited and people fighting for the same seats is in thousands now,not in any hundreads..
so take your chance only if you think u can make it up..on an average i think every 2-3000 people appear for nbde every month..and admissions only take place like 2 times a year and number of seats,not even more than 400 in whole usa

Hi ,
If NDBE becomes a pass/fail anything like what USMLE then I believe it would mean that people who PASS do get a numerical score but can't retake the exam for 5years. Its only people who fail (get less than 75) who can retake the exam. I think its more to prevent multiple reattempts!
Scores can't go ...its just the no of attempts they are limiting....
Suggestions welcome!
