Hi ,
I have been preparing for NBDE part 1 and my exam is in a few weeks time. I tried solving the ASDA released questions now after having done First Aid part 1 and decks together. I find the ASDA much harder and difficult. I could score not more than 80/100 in any paper during practice. Some were even in sixties. Any suggestions for me in these last few days. I am really worried that i won't be able to pass the exam.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks a ton!
 
hello guys, I am from Indonesia, and I took the NBDE part 1 last December and I failed, 65% I dont wanna study and take it again, but I have to, does anyone knows what books to read? or any suggestions? I feel like I don't want to, but I have to.

Hi there, my suggestion is revise revise revise! Doing first aid once isnt gonna do much. You need to re-do all as many times as possible. I did first aid 3 times before I could see improvements on the ASDA papers. All the wrong questions I got, I wrote them down and researched it for a better understanding. There isnt a short cut to this exam period and its bs if you ask me. Now part 2 is a more real life exam that actually deals with our profession. Thats another story. Best of luck!

I am taking my exam end of april too and i am scared to death. This would be my 3rd attempt and here is my story.

I think I am one of the most unluckiest person in the world. I passed in my first attempt back in 2008 but scored only 78. I wasnt happy with my score so I decided to re appear another time after a year and guess what? ???I got worst score 74 :(. That broke my heart so I decided to quit dentistry and found something else for myself.

After couple of years of changing my carrer there wasn't even a single day that I wound't miss dentistry. Now I am back again with new motivation and determination to achieve my dream. I finally decided to appear for nbde part 1 on april and hope this time I dont make mistakes i did few years ago.

Just wanted to wish everybody good luck and hope we all keep motivating each other..


Hello dentalnj,
i am planning to take the NBDE exams in 2014 and i just saw ur post. Have u done the exams? how did it go? I admire ur determination...good luck
 
I am in Louisville Kentucky, Male, going to give in about three months from now. I gave it one time before as well but I dint clear it that time. My question is does it shows on your report that its yours second attempt and you dint clear in 1st attempt.
 
Hello everyone,
I have been asking everyone here about their exams and everyone really helped and I appreciate it. Thank u all. and now its my turn to contribute to it.
I took my exam yesterday, sorry I wasn't able to write this all yesterday.
I studied but in intervals, as in not in a continuous three straight months because i don't have that kind of a temperament, so i studied for this last 3 weeks continuous. I was left with a lot of reviewing tho till the end but here is my experience: EXAM was equally balanced in terms of difficulty. I found the exam to be relatively easy not just because the exam itself was easy, its here on the forums that the exam is tough and i expected way beyond that. Its tricky and as long as you have done your decks thoroughly and first aid i'm sure u will ace it. Nothing was out of course except some genetic stuff that were hardly one or two questions. Questions were similar to ASDA. No case scenarios apart from testlets. I just had 7 TESTLETS. and they were easy, dentally related but some medical stuff incorporated and also some ethical stuff. BUT the subjects weren't equally divided. Mine was ~65% i can bet on it was only dental anatomy and occlusion. every second or third question was DA and Occlusion. Lots and lots of questions on TMJ and its ligaments, nerve and blood supply. It was tough. Know your occlusion WELL and the other major portion was of anatomy around 15% and all were mostly related to head and neck. 2 or 4 questions on limbs and abdomen combined. i was asked micro a few questions. and i also had 15 repeats atleast. The remaining were path and physio and biochem. I just had basic biochem. I will say occlusion was tough. real tough but other subjects were basic. i screwed up big time and im just praying that i pass. i wish i would have revised my occlusion. i thought my DA was strong but i screwed up. Morpho was crazy! they asked us to compare different teeth at different intervals and age groups blah blah. My advise will be to do morpho really really well also. know each and every single aspect from every angle. I really hope I pass. Over all the exam was a good one. Do not freak out. They were simple and to the point answers but tricky ones and a few had very close options and yea a few were like WTH.. lol and a few were like are u serious? could it be this easy?..haha but over all a good exam. If I God forbid dont pass it will be entirely my fault. the test was easy. i knew it but it was all jumbled up.
IN SHORT: OCCLUSION OCCLUSION AND DENTAL ANATOMY IN AND OUT!! cover to cover. i did kaplan and decks for DA the rest i did decks. i also did first AID on the last day for just anatomy review and to my surprise the notes on the sides in first aid are the questions on the exam. Over all it was a good exam, tricky , tough, easy all balanced. do not freak out. you get one hour break in between relax and eat thats all. if u all need to ask me anything ask here. ill reply as soon as i can. Good Luck to you all!
