I just finish my wreb, I got one pink slip because one examer noted that affected dentin has not been removed. I am worrying about it so much!

will I automatically fail in the whole operative section? If I will not automatically fail, how much score will I lose for operative section?

another issue I also worried about is that x-ray quality. I have bad quality x-ray (very dark). but it can be seen under my head lighter. do anyone know it will be automatically failure for endo part due to low quality x-ray? my home school used digital x-ray but the exam school used conventional x-ray and I am not good at developing.

I spent more than 12k (register fee, patient, instruments, assistant, hotel, airplane, etc) and a lot of time for the whole exam, I worried about it so much. the exam was extreme stressful. I and my family can not afford the consequences of failure

thank you so much.

I thought I had read that affected dentin was a deduction in points from your prep score, and not an auto-fail. Might want to check that WREB book
 
thank you so much. you are right. I just worried about it too much!

I just got my WREB result and I succefully pass all parts of WREB. It is amazing and I got my results of WREB in 3 days after I finished my exam (I took WREB at USC 06/01-06/02/13).

Do you live in California? I just took the WREB too at another site, but didn't pass operative. So I have to retake at USC. Any advice for that particular school that an outsider might not know...and anywhere possible to get patients?

Thanks~
 
I came from midwest. I though that my passing might be just because of my good luck. I used patient finding agent(that is the reason my budget is 12k). the lesion the agent provide is usually good. a good board assistant is another big plus for you.

good luck!
