If I am taking a year off before dental and I want to prepare before starting dental school, how should I prepare exactly?
What books should I buy and study in order to help prepare me for the rigorous first year?
I heard theres a Review Book for the Boards written by Chang(?), which is really good to use... anyone know the exact title? where can it be bought?
Should I just memorize all of head and neck anatomy before dental school starts? If a dental student were to go back in time, how should he or she prepare during the year off or the summer before dental school?
Any tips/advice for preparing and studying would be really appreciated...

take a sculptor class and get a job. if your confident you did your best, relax. school will start when it starts

I am pretty sure I am good with my hands already.... I am more nervous about the studying and memorizing massive amount of information.... I want to prepare for that...
Any job?

anything dental related....assisting is great....lab tech is another good one and gets ur manual dexterity up.......research jobs are good too.....but id stick with dental-related if possible
Netter's books are great for anatomy.......neuro anatomy is a good place to focus.....learn all of your cranial nerves (muy importante)

All that you will be doing in school is studying so why enter hell a year early. Dont go near a book for the next year and enjoy your life cuz once school starts your lifes gonna feel like it sucks pretty bad most days.
