I have only reviewed about 150 questions at Kaptest and see a disconnect between old board exams+ dental decks with kaplan's questions. They just do not seem too similar whereas the decks (as gavin pointed out) are closely related to old board questions. I am a little disappointed with my purchase, but I do believe the explanations at kaptest are excellent and the site is organized well.
 
The ONLY section I've found worth my time on Q-Bank is the dental anatomy section. I'm still believing that the other sections were taken directly from the USMLE Q-Bank (whereas the dental anatomy was obviously created for us).

If you can get 60% on those other sections then I think you'll do really well on the NBDE, but some of those questions are so far out there that they contain material I've never even heard of (especially Micro/Path). The Physiology questions are NOTHING like past NBDE questions, and the Anatomy questions are also from another planet.

Just my 2 cents.
