[sai dds]

thats true exactly
do we need 2 go through the usmle series

hi your sugestion is good but my thinking is that we read one topic from deck like (nervous sys) then go to theory of that topics and later on we can do test pappers .
sweet

 

[sai dds]

i took nb1 nd scored 83
wanna retake nd want 2 improve my score
i would like 2 join in ur studygroup
we ll plan seriously nd studytogether
1st what 2 start
thx in advance

Just joined the forum, and I plan to take the NBDE I in July. Anyone know the right books to use? This is my one and only attempt. I'm based in the UK right now. If you're also there pls let me know.

 

[Sarah123]

Anyone in Cleveland Ohio taking Part 1? Am studying but need some inspiration because it looks so daunting......

 

[Flada]

i took nb1 nd scored 83
wanna retake nd want 2 improve my score

Does it mean that 83 from 100 is a bad result!?
What is the measure between enough mark and non-enough? 90?

Hey. need your help. What books did you use? And is it a good idea to do only specific reading? I schooled in Africa, and I suspect that the study tactics i employ might not work. Pls give me pointers: I really don't plan to do this exam twice

Hai, I'm planning to take my exam in august. Pls let me know how to plan the studies. Which subject do i start first? I did my BDS in india in 93-98 n MDS in 2000-03 but bacics is a kind of tough for me to start all over again. Right now i'm working as a research assistant in cancer biology. It will be of a great help if u can guide me thru this.Thank you.

A question appeared on my exam

Cell Membrane is least permeable to
H20
Na,O2, Ethanol and Glycerol
I think someone posted before but I was not sure about the answer given by people guessing. Someone said is Na. Any clue?
Why not H20?

Hi the answer is NA..

Remember the cell membrane with Na outside and K inside?

Read a little bit about the potential action..you will figure it out.
Water goes where it wants🙂
So water is not the answer.

interested in part 1 study group/partner?

when r u giving the exams coz i am giving in october.
i am interested .how should we go about it?

 

[M_Smiley]

i heard the case study format was Nov 2006. also for clinical path, we were told that it is pretty much straight from Eversole manual. It is long an boring but all the other students i talked to said it was from there. hope this helps

 

[bench7]

Hi all

I will be starting up for part 1 soon. I am scheduled for early July for the computer format. Any ideas on what might be different regarding that format vs. paper? 👍 👎

Also, does anyone know where one can get a deal on the Kaplan review text for part 1 ? is it worth while?


I plan on old versions of released exams and decks also, anything good out there?

later

I'll take NBDE-I very soon. 🙂 I have two Kaplan review books. One is brand new (latest edition). The other is getting worn out I may decide to sell my brand new one if i get a good offer. I like the review book. It's very good.

oops I didn't realize many of them were repeated earlier!


sorry 😛

 

[usdrm]

I took the exam once and got 87. i am preparing again to give it in june. My plan is to study the dds and kaplan thrice atleast before appearing for the exam. I started with path and micro.

You really think Kaplan is worthy of studying 3 times? I took it once before too, in last Sep, and got 85. Last time I only studied 2001's deck and some of the released exams for 2 mo? I got 2006's deck this time and I plan to do all the old exams. Some people say Kaplan book is good esp for the Biochemistry part. so I also plan to read that book once after I study the deck. Any advice? Thanks!

 

[usdrm]

did you mean nov 05? what is the eversole manual? new book?

not until 2007 as I know.go to ada.org
