hey guys... i have my part one exam in a weeks time... the material i studied from- decks(09), KAPLAN review notes, first aid nbde1, a lil bit of mosby and asda papers (77-99 & 2003-05).... i feel all prepared but i am able to score in 70's and 80's while doing released papers. Is the main exam gonna be on the similar mines or is it going to b more tough? please do reply.
Thanks

You will do great if you know your concepts and have done asda. i think you are well prepared. but just relax now and dont panic. know ur OCCLUSION well. in and out of dental anatomy! GOOD LUCK to you.

review through first aid and solve questions as much as u can. practice taking each exam and sit for 3.5 hours straight and then again 3.5 hours staright because that is how the exam will be. do not give the test on your bed but take it in a library or ur desk if u cud. and I am not a Upenn student!

decks are fine and as long as u r comfortable with kaplan. i just did the dental part from kaplan so yes i reviewed it. but if u have time like a week or so then i think these books are easily available fro download on many websites. u can download . do not freak out. its a good exam. not hard except occlusion.know that well and thats brilliant in kaplan

hey guys I am close to my test day, I have been studying for First Aid, Qbanks and dental decks, but I have heard that it would be better if I buy the CRACK the NBDE.
Would you please tell me your experience with that or what do you guys think about the CRACK, is it worth it ?

Thankss

From which site can i download Dental decks...particularly 2011-2012 and 2012-2013...Can u plz gv me the link ...mail me at [email protected]...
Click to expand...

the max you can get online is dental decks 2006/07....none of the 2011-2012-2013 version is available online.....there is a difference but not a very huge one......as again i said in some other thread i will say again.....the exam is not the same as it used to be earlier before the pass n fail system......its tougher and needs you to be thorough in the basic sciences......rest it differs from individual to individual and time to time you give the exam....if youre really good at cramming things up then decks, first aid and asda combined is enough but if you cannot remember things in one reading and need to understand the thing in detail just like me then refer to some good text before you start up with decks, no not KAPLAN, not in a hundred years i would suggest KAPLAN to anyone......i am planning to reappear soon so all this comes out of my and one more random person who was also giving nbde1 exam at my centre's personel experience.....we both discussed what we studied and came to a conclusion that just decks and first aid is not enough and yea last but not the least donot depend on ASDA papers, they are good but not good enough......be generally prepared for any knda questions.....some people get 70-80% repeat some dont even get 10%......

As again i would like to ask you first that are you really good at cramming if yes than you should go in for decks any edition, first aid and asda....more than enough....but make sure you do the decks twice......if you are not good at cramming jus like me than go in for some short text book or review books.....there are many available in the market....just like the ones for USMLE.....they good n short and you can combine them with decks to clear your basics.....or refer to you dental text books for the things you dont understand but please refer to some international author not some local one......

I'm neither too good nor too bad in cramming but yeah I'm clearing my doubts by Wikipedia

Ha TIM, I do understand dental anatomy, but have confusion in understanding OCCLUSION movement, i.e; working & non working movement for maxillary jaw.
When Maxillary right working side means mandibular right non-working side.
