I started that link. It didn't become a sticky but I did get a lot of private messages about how important it is to brush up on anatomy and aspects of dentistry that DO NOT change no matter what year or school you go to go.
Also, finding ways to maximize your dentistry is important.
PM if you'd like more detail.
Hmmm... Maximize my dentistry, huh?https://forums.studentdoctor.net/th...p-materials-for-incoming-d1-students.1233361/

Not currently a D1 yet, but I am a huge planner. I bought dental decks for NBDE part 1. I would invest in a detailed planner i.e. passion planner. D1 and D2 is when you figure out how to study and manage your time wisely.
I have the 2013 dental decks which I paid for ~100 dollars. Everything was included and the cards had no writing or highlighting. It was nearly pristine condition, I guess you can say it was a steal. 😛Listen- don't ever buy new decks! You can use decks as old as 2010 and be better than golden. Spend the $50 on used decks, nobody should buy new

Amazon or ebay, they are sold by D3 or D4 students most of the time.Was just looking into dental decks and saw how ridiculous the prices are for new decks. Where can you purchase old ones at a cheaper rate?
The dental decks are preparation for the NBDE part 1, national board dental exam. There are multiple sections that are included in your didactic curriculum, D1 and D2, such as biochemistry, pathology, occlusal dental anatomy, and etc. A few years ago it was pass/fail and it is in multiple choice format. You usually take part 1 after D2 is over. The dental deck consists of about 2000 flash cards and it's very detailed. The back explains in detail what is the answer and why other choices are incorrect on top of relevant information pertaining to the question.What are these decks?

It doesn't make sense, part 2 is the clinical portion and that is after D4. I think you might be talking about the ADAT, it was released in 2015 or 2016. The NBDE became pass/fail because it wasn't a good indicator for specialization. I guess they want a better board exam to gauge the ability to specialize.I heard at one of my interviews by the time we have to take the boards - they're gonna combine it into one big one instead of two, I think taken middle or end of third year
I'm talking about the NBDE for sure - it was in the presentation that it was being merged into one exam, so I guess we'll seeIt doesn't make sense, part 2 is the clinical portion and that is after D4.

Interesting. When do you think we will take the exam? The end of D4?I'm talking about the NBDE for sure - it was in the presentation that it was being merged into one exam, so I guess we'll see

The new INBDE is still pass/fail in multiple choice format of 300-450 questions compared to 900 in the current NBDE 1 and 2 combined. Generally, I feel more questions means less room for error because each question is worth fewer points. Like I mentioned earlier, there is just too much information and it will just be a hit or miss. It won't affect me since I'll be class of 2021, but I would like to know what other pre-dents feel especially class of 2022.Here's their timeline for implementing the INBDE. It looks like the Class of 2021 will just miss the implementation of the exam and can still take the NBDE. It looks like the class of 2022/2023 will be the ones who are affected. The timeline listed is no earlier than, so unless you want to opt into their field testing for the exam, I think we are safe. My DS will take NBDE 1 between first and second year (2018) and then towards the end of fourth year for NBDE II (2021). Each are before the termination of the exam.

Does your second semester senior grades matter if you want specialize? I.e. if you usually got A's but got all B's would it hurt your chance at specializing in the future? I'm senior and was accepted to dental school next year, and I want to do well in my classes this semester, but I don't want to burn out before dental school starts.
Damn, people worry about the craziest and most stupid crap. Go take a chill pill and enjoy yourself for once.Does your second semester senior grades matter if you want specialize?

You forgot about preparing for NBDE Part III that involves the practical of flying an airplane. I found that this book Student Pilot's Flight Manual: From First Flight to Private Certificate by William K. Kershner, William C. Kershner did a tremendous job. I recommend the 10th edition as it significantly overlaps to what we learn in D9.I recommend studying anatomy, biochem, pharmacology, operative, immunology, physiology, dental anatomy, ethics, pathology, genetics, histology, nutrition, oral biology, oral surgery, peds, and every textbook over 700 pages you can get your hands on. Make sure you read it cover to cover and memorize all of it before dental school or else you'll fail. Don't go outdoors, outdoors is permanent, dental school is temporary. Don't spend any time with your friends and family because every person who is ranked #1 has no friends and family anyway and plus if you can't handle 2 full time jobs while doing all of this, you'll fail. I would also recommend adopting a minimum of 3 children 1 week before dental school starts. Builds character. Trust me. I know.
