Hey its but natural yet keep going and u'll see ur scores rising .
Better to remember what you study than , forget all of it , in a hurry but thats just my 2 cents on it, if somebody can do it , its more than welcome. Just keep studying!!!

hey aims, u'r welcome.

Can you help us in elaborating, what all areas do you think is way off the old papers or what was really twisted ? what your general feeling subject-wise ?

Wish that rule came up soon, but no hopes on that either .
Best of luck to you.

welll
1st of all i did not have old papers so cant really say anything about that.i just reviewed the dental decks and kaplan dentessentials book.occasionally i refered to standard texts.


  • 4 questions i can say for sure were from the deks that is all!otherwise it was general information ,straight forward questions stating facts ,if u know it u can do it but if you dont remember than just go with what srikes u 1st coz i made some mistakes when reviwing those doubtful questions n changing my ans, so my advice is go with ur 1st instinct!!!!!

  • biochem was really basic ,sec school level type not much detail of chemical processes ,but different enzymes should be known!!
  • !dental questions make u think but if u know the subj you will be ok.just pay attention to the questions ,at some points i thought the questions were being repeated but then i noticed eightr the tooth no was changed or the age of the patient in the question and options were same!!so dont be fooled!!
  • anatomy included abdomen and limbs too so focus a bit on those ,
  • i felt there were more dental and biochem questions, although they have a certain distribution of questions plus questions were not in separate sections as i thought they were random,!!
  • nothing was twisted ,evrything straight forward.
  • so just revise the basics
  • testlets were distributed in this way ,at the end of 1st section b4 break and at the start of next section after break!!most info is in the history and presenting cmplaints and easy to draw conclusions from!i must thank my oral pathology teacher for that, who always taught us thru clinical scenarios !!
  • level of exam was moderate !!balanced with easy n difficult questions
    ,wors part for me is i missed easy questions!!!!
  • do ask if any thing else u need to know!

Mesiolingual cusp is the largest of all cusps in max 1st molar
So the MD is greater in max 1st molar.
Hope it helps. 👍

-u have a great gpa score ( that should help a lot !)
-make sure for part 2 to have a great score bec. its so prestigious
and its gona help a lot for admission.
well i dont know what to say more ,,but alli can say good luck and just belive that u will be there and be positive and optimistic (life is full of surprises )

I'm afraid but the ASDA answer is wrong for this particular question. Mandibular 1st molar (infact all mandi molars have MD greater than FL).. (n i'm pretty sure about this one)

Like somebody else in this thread has also mentioned, conversely -all maxi molars have FL dimnsns greater than MD ).. hope this helps..
