Hi everyone!
For all those who have taken their NBDE part 1 in 2010, please share your Raw scores and Composite scores.
It would help the prospective students have an idea about the scoring pattern as it's a ONE TRY exam only if you pass!

Thank you.

i would say you are doing fine...higher is always better but u aint doing bad....i was scoring somewhere around the same when i was practicing the papers...in the finals i gave you my brake up..i lost around 15 questions(changed the answers to wrong ones) when i was revising after i completed the exam...

Do share your raw and comp scores!

Thank you.

 

[riseup]

I'll try my best to improve more the score.
Any other last month Revision tips/ Exam tips??

 

[appu09]

well just be relaxed...and i had found dentessentials by kaplan a very useful book for revision....

 

[arn8d]

does anyone know the minimum score needed in each section to pass?

 

[bombshell]

It depends on the test, but you have to score at the national average for the test to pass. I don't know about others, but the national averages on my test were around in the 60-70s. So scoring well above them, pimped up my score. You don't just need to pass the exam (that's unless you are already enrolled in school).Good luck.

does anyone know the minimum score needed in each section to pass?

 

[riseup]

Hey bombshell..
Please share your score along with the national averageif you remember?

Hi talking of the video lectures well they are good if u are weak in some kind of subjects...i was weak in immumology i went across them and it was helpful indeed cos the person who speaks in it really revises u the stuff.

[bombshell]

I got 90. Scored in high 80s on all of the subjects. The average of those was 70-75. I took the exam close to the end of last year though. GOod luck to all of you!

Hey bombshell..
Please share your score along with the national averageif you remember?

 

[shergill]

i got comp.score -85
hpwever i used to score 90+ in ASDA papers and i got 88 and 86 in CRACKTHENBDE. i think exam level has gone up. i took it fr the second time dis time.

 

[georgia doc]

hi shergill, is there any study material u think now that is really ESSENTIAL for the exam? the testlets part...........i have the 2007 decks , do u know if these r different in the newer ones?

 

[rose82]

are there ANY 90's in 2010?

 

[happyk9]

I guess the reasons that many foreign-trained dentists get low part I score probably are:

1. NBDE part I clinical cases probably are much more difficult than before. This is a weak link for most foreign-trained dentists. American dental students have already taken oral medicine and diagnose class before they take part I. So if you want to shoot a high score you have to work on clinical cases very hard. Pay attention to oral clinical manifestations when you study the NBDE.

2. Since the ADA changed the policy, many foreign-trained dentists can not take NBDE as many times as before. Unlike the situation now, in last several years some foreign-trained dentists use to take part I again and again until they shot a satisfying score. So this game becomes more and more fair. So it is actually a good news for most foreign-trained dentists.

 

[rose82]

I just wanted to ask the retakers..is 2010 version different than the last 2 years?In terms of clinical cases or anything else?I got 86 when I gave it, and there were no repeats..so please give an insight based on this.

 

[iomega]

are there ANY 90's in 2010?

i had already replied to similar questions in a diff thread..

Anyways, i had studied from decks 2009-10, first aid for NBDE, kaplan lecture notes, lipponcott for biochem, wikipedia for stuff i didnt u/s n solved almost all ASDA papers.
Try n solve all the questions discussed in SDN forum, n give reasoning to each ans, instead of just memorizing the answers.
i studied for 3 an a half months for 5-6 hrs initially n later towards end around 8-9 hrs.
i felt the exam was tough, but if u clear with ur basics u should be able to crack it.

Best of Luck !!




Best of luck.

i gave my exam on 3rd feb n received my score on 1st of march.
a frd of mine got her score report in 10 days.. so i guess it just varies.

 

[blissonearth]

Thank you Dr. Internationa...

The other question is: the due date is July 1st, is it possible to order the extra copies now to ADA even before the result is out ? If I waited for the result to be out, then order, then it will take another 3 weeks for the extra copies to arrive.....

Thank you so much

i guess the only way to know that is to call the ADA and find out..i really dont know if u can pre-order copy of ur report....does anyone else know?

Hi all, thought I'd add some data points.

Composite: 96

Anat : 86/100
Bio/phys : 85/100
micro/path : 92/100
DA : 95/100

Raw score: 358

All in all this is about 10 points less than I was getting on released exams. Strategy = close to 400 hours of time, went through decks once, first aid once, a handful of practice exams, and wikipedia was pretty useful too. I didn't really use books, but never have in school. Though, the best study strat is to learn as much as you can during your preclinical years.

I walked out thinking I had gotten a composite in the mid to high 80s and was pleasantly surprised to receive a 96. Just keep your heads up and study what you can but make sure to take breaks often. At the end of the day, we'll all be dentists as long as it's a 75+.

p.s. Sorry for the singular post (not trying to troll), I did not want my scores to be released to everyone who knows my UN.

Congratulations!

From your word:"At the end of the day, we'll all be dentists as long as it's a 75+.", I guess you are not a foreign-trained dentist, are you?
