I got my NBDE part 2 result yesterday.My comp score is 84. Although it is not a great score it was a great relief passing the exam.

How long i studied-------4 months
What materials I used- Textbooks(for reference),Kaplan note book,released exams,Mosby's review of Nbde part 2, Rudman,dental decks2007-2008,Many online resources..
My opinion: if I could sit for the exam after my DMD it would have been a comfortable experience and greater score.

How long it took to get the score--they posted the result after 8 days and i got it after 10 days.

I am very grateful to sdn from where i got many many important suggestions and resources.Thanks to all the sdn members and I wish all of your dreams come true.

Congrats. I beg to differ, you would not have 4 months to study for this exam while in dental school. most people studied maximum a month and that is while going to clinic. You are very lucky and blessed to have taken this exam and passed it before dental school. It will save you lots of time.
