Hi everyone whose appearing for the nbde part 1 for jan or feb (or anytime early next year).. Im starting this thread so that we can all motivate each other, and keep each other updated on our progress. so that we dont get lazy, but rather stick to schedule and stay focussed.

**Please dont ask for books, or material or study partners in this thread.

Lets keep it solely for
1. Motivating each other
2. Sharing any mistakes or tips to study better
3. Asking questions during preparation
4. Anything you wish to share with others while you are studying
5. Review or questions regarding books, decks, tests that you are using during this study period

Thanks, and i wish good luck to my fellow test takers 🙂

Hi NKDmed,
I started with biochem and took almost 45days to complete it 1's from decks,kaplan and lippincott's. Each time i read, i felt i understood and remebered everything. but now, at the end of it, i dont remember anything and everything seems new. I'm devastated and losing heart. I did physio 1's from decks and kaplan and its the same with this subject too. I feel so stupid. I have no idea whats going on...and I dont know what to do..
how do u feel with your preparation?

don't worry, this happening to me too, i've almost had a heart attak😀
cheer up, revise, revise and revise.

good luck👍

don't worry, this happening to me too, i've almost had a heart attak😀
cheer up, revise, revise and revise.

look, it is not the lung that's for sure, it is the last one to be effected. however, it is either the liver or the brain.
most of what i read mentioned the liver first although others mentioned the brain first!!!

 

[zappy]

thank you so much for warm welcome dear!!

i guess it should be liver too...coz ccl4 forms free radicals which damage the liver first from the portal circulation that too in zone 3 which is closest to the portal vein...do correct me if i am wrong...gudluck👍

 

[egydental]

dont worry u r not the only one, i am having a hard time studying to , i need some motivation lets stay in touch if u r intrested i plannning to take the exam soon,

Hi!

I am also thinking about taking the exam in march next year, I started studying biochemistry a few weeks ago, but my brain is not as it used to be!!, i feel so dumb! 🙁
I am trying to motivate myself to study.
I hope you guys are doing much better than me.
Wish you the best

ppl take a min. and think about it
what would u do if u have one month only remaning for your test and you have one major topic not finished for ex. antamoy, pathology.....

why i am saying this , i think to get a high score u only do it right before the exam when u enter into over drive mode

plz let all try to benefit and make a map to crack this exam

Thanks for saying that Haam. i needed that. i'm still in a panic mode. i finally decided that since i have read biochem from 3 sources, i'll combine them into 1 single notes. what do u think? it might take a while though. I'm sure it this is a good idea, ocz its time consuming. When people say they r reading from multiple books, how can they manage to revise all of them when they gets closer to the exam?
I started with dental ant from wheelers. do u think decks and kaplan r enough for dent ant or should i read wheelers thoroughly? and i'll probably would wana make notes for that too.. which is another confused idea of mine
let me know what u think. How r u doing it?

Do you think Kaplan review book is better or first aid nbde???am Soooo confused.....

Hey my friend about the kaplan review book actually I do not know if you are asking about the nbde kaplan, but I am studying the biochemistry and physio using the USMLE lecture notes and decks,,
for anatomy I did the 1st aid,dental decks and USMLE videos for neuroanatomy..
and I am intended to study the dental anatomy,micro and patho with the dental decks and 1st aid except Immunity from the USMLE lecture notes..this is my plan and I took the advice from a friend who got 93 in his exam..

 

[kdent]

Thanks for ur reply Soooo much!!!and yes l mean Kaplan nbde lecture notes . Is it the same as usmle lecture notes????

[dentdoc10]

anybody know the answer plz tell me,

what will happen to curve of spee when a segment of mandibular molar teeth over erupt?

As far as my research goes on this topic, this is what i understood - the curve of spee will become shallow when a segment of mandibulat molar teeth over erupts.
this wasnt given in one simple sentence like this. i gathered this from reading a lot of explainations from different resources.
and also every where i searched, there was always a sentence saying - the curve of spee is important for orthodontists in their Rx plan.

Curve of spee flattens with eruption of molars.... helps in correction of increased overbite.... 🙂

Curve of spee will become shallow when a segment of mandibular molar teeth over erupts means its losing its curvature and moves towards becoming flat.
Are we on the same page?

 

[bhavi4all]

curve of spee is concave.. and if molars erupt , i think it would become more concave.and not flat....

I did look up on ADA.org and there it's clearly stated it is applicable from 2012!!! dont know y... ppl dont do enough research b4 posting something....i almost panicked!!!

pls do correct me if anyone knows otherwise..!!!

I have searched a lot about that and found out that the pass/fail system would start since jan 2012.I also found out that universities may change they application requirement since 2012 if the NBDE scoring be changed.I heard from a friend of mine who is now a student of UCLA that it is possible that schools take their own exams but he wasn't sure about that.In my view if the system be changed,then it would have effect on every thing.because of a medical problem,I couldn't prepare for nbde until now.I bought all of the text books and going to prepare for the exam.certainly I would take this year but I don't know what happens if I apply in 2012.
