I think the pattern of the exam has been change,it was way different from 2010. multiply right choices you have to choose exception answers, to many most, least questions, more clinical . Study materials, USMLE lectures, asda releasead exams , decks, Kaplan notes, know TMJ very well . I think decks didn't help me that much . Does anyone experience that the exam pattern has been changed , please share. Can't wait to get nice score. I started my study from July , the last two months was studying 10 hours a day .

This pattern is the same as it has been before. You might have just had a hard exam. "multiple right choices you have to choose the exception"- this is technically just one answer which is the exception and "most least questions" were from before. Also the exams are usually more clinical. The format that is changing will have multiple answers that you have to choose when you answer.. not like a question has multiple answers but you choose the exception. Hope that kind of makes sense.

How hard was the test compared to Crack the NBDE test? I do realise that testlets in the exam were much difficult! but, apart from that do have any suggestions ?? Im taking my test in 2nd week of Nov and would really appreciate your advise.\
I did go ahead and take Crack the NBDE. I got a 95 percentile.(DA-89,Anatomy-92,Bio-89,Path-75).
Can some body please tell me how different is the Real test compared to Crack the NBDE? Which is touch? and approximately what would be the difference in scores??

I took exam 30 of dec 2011 and I thought it was rather hard I wished I had more time to study. I only studied for 2 month and what I sudied was decks 2006-2007 and 2009-2010 but not thoroughly ppl told me sooo many advice that I couldnt really decide what to study. I also read Kaplan NBDE just microbiology but forgot everything I read. I also tried to memorize adsa exams but just the latest 2004 and up. There were some qs from adsa exams but not enough. I know Im not going to get a good score. Even though I didnt know most of the questions on the exam I dont think it was that hard I think the most important thing u have to know for sure is TMJ, DOA, and all Vitamin Deficiency and now Im studying again and I guess im just going to stick to one thing the decks 2009-2010 and try to memorize mostly everything and do lots of adsa exams. I have the crack but I dont think it helped at all. Oh well I know ill get it next time.
