Hello I took the boards a year or so ago. My advice would be to first go through the dental decks, USMLE review book, go through old exams(all of them), then go through the decks again, and old test again. When you go through the old test make sure you don't just read the question give an answer and go on. Make sure to look up the other answers and how they could change the question to make it the answer. I would go through the incorrect answers on the first time you studied the exams, and then the second time before you took the exam i would just refresh yourself on the questions they ask(b/c there are alot of repeat questions). I also studied a dental anatomy text book.

This will take a long time to go through what i said. All the other text books you bought during school are useless. The only reason to bring them with you when you study would be to look up material that you are unfamilair with when you go over the old test.

I followed this routine as did the 3 other people i studied with and we all got superb scores.

And for those asking about USMLE first aid book. it is really alot better than the nbde, better explainations and diagrams. Only downfall is it doesnt cover dental anatomy.
