I understand this is a pre-dental forum, but this is something everybody should take the time to learn. There are rumors that some incoming dental classes will no longer be taking Part I after their first or second year and take the INBDE instead after their fourth year. There may be confusion for a few years whether residency programs prefer the NBDE or the INBDE or what are the equivalent scores, but that can be a discussion at a later time. This would be a great question to ask during your interview.

NBDE Part I/II is currently pass/fail and the INBDE will be as well.

If you're interested in pursuing a residency then you should look into taking the ADAT.

If someone is pursuing a residency, would they be taking the INBDE and ADAT in the same year?

I can't comment on when the INBDE would be taken but the ADAT would need to be taken prior to or during the application process at the beginning of your 4th year.

Interesting! Doesn't look like it would affect me but it's good to know about.

We made the cut

Thank god. I'm already annoyed we have to deal with the ADAT if we want to specialize.
