hi dentone,

ur from mumbai? whr in mumbai? see, do either kaplan or first aid. dont do both. instead, do dental decks as ur main source of information. i dunno the exact place, but there's some photocopy waala in front of GDC, Mumbai (or somewhere very close to the college) who sells photocopies of kaplan, ASDA and decks for some 3000-4000 rupees. contact him. i'll find out more for you. and sure, we'll make a study grp and do the discussions here itself...

hi TeeKay, first of all there's one God almighty. He'll make things easy for you now. You hope for getting good marks in part1. if by any chance u need to retake, u can after three months. that would be ur last attempt. i'm taking the exam in feb-mar time. thats my first and last attempt...so i'm keeping my fingers crossed. do share your study routine, books read, time put in each day and total duration of study...also please introduce yourself so that we can do some quality discussions here....

Hi Dencology, you're a DDS student already. We all here are asian dentists who want to get acceptance into the DDS Advanced Standing programs offered by the various american universities. we all read the kaplan review notes, First Aid for USMLE and Dental Decks (latest 2009-2010 version) for preparation of NBDE part1 exam. You too get these resources and start looking at them. It will help you a lot. post here for any more queries. Thanks
