No I meant they have started posting the letter from 27 Feb. I believe people who have written it before 2012 have already received their scores. Its just us now!

I looked on the website and tried to pull up the scoring schedule and it will not appear. Has anyone else seen the scoring schedule?

Ok, I finally understand what you were saying Holly! All of the reports for Part 2 were shipped on yesterday! YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am pretty sure that they will arrive tomorrow, no later than Thursday for me. In the past, it usually took about 2 days after they were mailed. I sure hope I sleep tonight!!!!!

ok, just checked my mail and no luck today! I had myself all psyched up to get them and now it's like I will have to wait some more. I feel good about it, but you will always feel a little nervous, especially if it isn't your first time. Good Luck everyone! God Bless!

ok, here it is 3 days later and I have yet to receive my score. I took my exam Jan 30-31, anyone else take it those dates or nearby and have received their scores? Geesh! This is making me age by the day. Keeping a positive attitude!

Do you know till what date exam taken their reports are mailed? I mean only Jan or Feb also.

I am pretty sure if Jan takers get their score reports by the end of feb, Then can imagine for others also it'll be late, sooner then they will make it the usual time 3-4 weeks gap to publish the scores.
God be with all.👍

I am not sure. The score report update on the JCNDE website only said that NBDE part 1 and 2 were shipped on 2/27. It didn't give a breakdown on when you took it versus when it would be mailed. It made me think that they were all being sent at the same time.

Ok, I was beginning to worry just a little bit. This was my second attempt and since I had trouble with Part 1, I do not want to relive that experience. It was heart breaking! I will keep you posted, but i checked the mail today and there was nothing. I am going out of town tomorrow and would have liked to know beforehand. I didn't tell anyone but my family and this forum when and if I was even taking it. It causes a lot of stress and people will keep asking how you did and that makes me anxious. God Bless! He has our backs and I am sure where we were weak, He was strong. I refuse to think anything less. There is power in the words and our thoughts!🙂

Hey Canine Crusader!!
Dont worry their are lots of people just like you, I went through similar experience with part-1 and I hope part 2 will make our stress level down. I completely agree that How God said that when we are weak, He is strong..Its a nice verse, on which we can hope on and encourage ourselves and others. He got us!!
All the best!!

Check if you've added your clinical case scores in that. You shouldn't include that when you calculate your total as the individual subject scores include the case scores too.

Hi guys I cleared yeeeee 🙂 i got my result in 10 days, can u beat that, didnt expect it to receive it soo soon anyways got it positive thats all that matters, no?
It wasnt as difficult as i thought it would be. So Believe in urselves and you can do it.
Regarding prep:
Pharm: use Tufts
Operative: Dental decks
Prosthodontics: Decks and Mosby's
OS/Ortho /pedo: Mosby's is enough
Oral Path and Radiology: DECKS more than enough
Periodontics: Mosbys
Patient Management: Mosbys ( try and UNDERSTAND each word from it although its still not sufficient but u will get thru it if you do this section thoroughly)
And offcourse ASDA papers
I studied for 20 days believe me or not ( although slogged for those 20 ).
Have faith, coz we all have gone thru with this before and we already know everything (apart from some insurance thingy).
Best of luck to everyone
if anybody is intrested in materials lemme know.

Believe me i didnt have time to do everything. i opened DECKS only for Radio and O path , Prostho and operative rest all i did it from Mosbys .
Regarding match the answers type of question there were hardly any. Lots of question regarding insurance and type of cilinical studies ( Pt Management ) Know this part verywell ( i think we find this area difficult because its not the clinical stuff that we do in the clinic and its more of a subject that we need to mug up)
2 day was ok good radiographs and history to deduce ur answers but the only thing that bothered me was that i was continuously opening widows ( peio charting/ radiographs/ photographs / history) as for a person like me who cant stare at computer screen for very long, It was too much. So expect all this.
i didnt study and materials specifically for this section just the Asda papers (luckily it did it for me, so cant really give any in put abt this).
