[Chompers]

is that 76 without the anatomy score or with it?

i would advise to just retake it. unless you plan to practice somewhere else other than the US, or your uncle works at a dental school department.

post some questions, i plan to retake next month. join the retake club, lol.

 

[emotion1777]

hi...

yea..the retake club huh...hmmm...i know tht its a very bad score.but i will write anatomy again.but like i said this was my third attempt dude...my scores were 72 then 74 then 76...hehe...i guess i was improving rite?hehehe...but i dont think i can study bio/physio again!!!well i know my chances of getting into a school is hanging by a thread but u know i tried so hard this time and...GOD gave me just a pass mark.so i am thankful and am putting my trust in God{my faith is an altime high after attempting these exams!!!} to show me whatever he has prepared for me!!!coz i am not too adamant on trying again and again for this...i will do the anatomy part and then wait mayb another year and thats it!i mite shift to hygiene!!!hmmm...u never know what tomorrow brings...rite...

[nimeshshingala]

hi emotions
good luck in your anatomy
I was just wondering, what was your objective in taking part 1 exams??
Are you looking at entering into a Advance Standing program at a university??
because no offence to you but that kind of score will not get you anywhere
You need a high score if you are looking into getting into some school
people who are already into dental school are just looking to pass their board exams, but as you said you are from tamilnadu and trying very hard to just pass your exams,
so can you tell me excactly what your objectives are??
maybe we can guide you correctly here
take care and good luck

 

[emotion1777]

yea...my objectives were when i came here was to be only a dentist...and i am tellling u man...i have tried my best...but u know sometimes it just doesnt go according to how one plans his life...well thats whats happened here..i did my best but as u can see(only managed to pass third time)...studying is not one of my bright areas...even if they asked for me to do volunteer work of dentistry for 5years i would luv to do it but studying....hmmm....so i have put my trust in Jesus and know that he is guiding me{eventhough at the moment to where is clueless}!!!now i am willing to even try my hand in hygiene...yea so thats it...gonna try anatomy thn apply if not ...hygiene.yea yea i read about people with above 90% got getting anywhere and thinking of retaking but hey there also guys who got around 80% who got admissions...rite...so i am optimistic and always find a positive side...

Dont mean to sound fatherly and giving u unwanted advices but hey, I would say give it one more shot. Try to change your pattern of studying a little bit. You passed it this time, you are getting there, all you gotta do is improve that score and am sure you will. just don give up yet dude.Even if you score somewhere in 80s you will get into a dental school sooner or later.....I plan on taking my NDB I exam in a month from today and i donno how i am gona fare but sure as hell am trying again if i do bad...thanx for the questions..they r helpful..hey did u notice most of these questions are from decks and released question papers...next time when u go for ur exam make sure to mug em up(Decks n Q papers)

 

[sheepfsh]

Hey emotion1777 congrats on the passing score. I know you must be very happy now that you have taken the exam and passed it. I was wondeing how did your scores get back soo soon? You took it on April 5th, 2005 right? Did you take it on the comp? Oh well once again congrats on your accomplishments. You deffinately deserve it and now you can continue on your journey of becoming a dentist

Hi emotion, thnx for the questions.

My advice to you is to take a break for a month or so, find a study partner or partners, and discuss the decks and released exams with him/her. I believe if you can get a 76, you can get an 80 or 82, you have a much better chance with an 80 then a 76. Remember, the national average is 82 or 84 so not everyone on this forum is getting a 90+ and there are many people going through what you're going through but at least you are honest enough with yourself to admit it. All I can say is hang in there, look at another future for yourself like a hygienist or whatever you decide if that's what you want just in case dentistry doesn't work out but keep checking for schools that open up an idp program as their part 1 score requirement is usually fairly low and even just passing once they open.

Good luck with whatever profession you choose for yourself!

yea i took the exam on april5th of 2005,compter based.results came in 6 days!!!i myself was surprised at the speed how they came...oh johndds...thanx for the advices...and also to others...john i wish i was a little more brainy or more able to mug up...but i did try my best...but will try more better for anatomy since i hve to concentrate just on tht alone rite...oh well...i didnt get your comment on 'idp program'.what is that?oh yea i am keeping my eyes open for dental hygiene...i mean its really good pay{btween $27 -$50}but its just tht u will b cleaning and cleanig teeth all day long and nothing else...rite...i mean if they ask me to do volunteer work for 5years i dont mind but studying...yuuuk...i mean u sshould see some of the doctors i work for(i work as dental asistant)...only coz they have the technology they survive...i mean u should see these guys do extractions...sometimes i wish i could push them over to the side and show them how to take it out without breaking the tooth!!!i mean in this country mayb coz extractions r so less since they r always trying to save a tooth by rct...then crowns..etc.they cant do anything wothout an xray.some docs wont even see the patient if his/her xray isnt on the cmptr(v have digital xrays really cool stuff)...sometimes they treat the dental assistants so harshly as if its our fault that they screw up!!!{luckily my docs hve been kind and havnt said anything nasty since they acknowledge me as a 'dentist' from "india"}...hmmm...my hands have had tht itch of doing an extraction or finding a rootcanal or cutting a crown or somethings like tht...but hey atleast i am working in the dental field...keeping in touch with the latest...i know many others who r trying to get into tht field just to be in touch with dentistry...and they couldnt...well i am glad tht GOD has blessed me with tht.
actually i also bought by car also from my doc when he bought a new bmw x5.so u know evrything happens for a reason and even though u never know y it happened then...afterwards wen u look back u know exactly y and how it happened the way it did!!!and its always always always for the BEST!!!

ahhh...sorry for the lecture...to bore u!!!but these exam times have certainly tested my faith in GOD and definitely i am a witness to tht GOD exists and he listens to u in your ups and downs bt u just have to be faithful to him...
yea yea i know this isnt a religious site or anything...sorry...

Thnx emotion!! this is a great help

 

[Chompers]

thanx for the refresher. now im actually worried i may do worse!! argh!

well, you have 3 months b4 you can take the exam. i would skip the anatomy and start studying biochm/phys now. i also volunteered to watch a dentist extract and he cracked the roots and actually left some behind and told the patient. they're too quick to disect the tooth to pull it out quickly. 5 more minutes luxing, and it would come out whole. jeez. but i wouldnt work without x-rays though, in any condition.

im up and studying right now, and feel like im going too slow. how the hell these people getting 90s+? decks and papers dont cover everything, its like 50%. the rest i feel is from your education, and good guessing. hahhaa

i soon will be a hygienist, but wont stop until im pulling out wisdom teeth out whole myself!

Hey emotion, the idp program is the advanced standing program, the 2-3 year program foreign dentists need to take to equivalize what they've taken in their home country and become licensed in the U.S.
By the way, if you plan on taking the anatomy again, contact me [email protected] , I have some unreleased exams 2000,2001 and 2002 which I normally sell but I will send them to you for free, just send me your address.

Hi.I just have a few questions, if you have time.I've heard a lot of people complain that Anato is very difficult.I am trying myself to prepare and I seem to get lost in how vast the material is.Esp. when I start going thru toraco-abdomeno-lombaro-upper limb nonsense.Can you tell me since you are experienced with the NDB , are they really asking questions about where are the hand muscle inserted or details about thorax or stuff like that? How deep are they going with those.Can you help me make an ideea? I would appreciatte very much.Thanks.

 

[emotion1777]

hi dent2005...

hows the prepartion coming?the exam which i took didnt ask much about insertions but they did ask something about the rectus femoris,attachment.then about blood supply of thorax,larynx,vocal cords...they also asked about the blood/nerve supply of these parts...but i think everyone gets a different question so...keep studying...and best of luck!!! 👍

Life is like that, full of adventures, trials, and hope! 🙂
