I dont want more than the passing score
do you guys think the Dental decks 07 + the old exams would be enough?
I already started with the Decks , I found them real smooth and easy , before that I tried the Kaplan book , it is really hard

thank you all 🙂

That's definitely not enough, the actual test questions are much harder... I took the exam in March and most of the questions I had never seen before. There were some repeats but not many. Best thing to do is know the theory from the books real well... I got a very disappointing 76 and i'm taking it again in July...🙁

For Part 1, dental decks should be enough. There are other textbooks out there, however, if you think you need more help or need a more organized way to study.

Hi everyone,


I've read alot in these forums and have planned out to start with Dental Decks 2007,Kaplan and Crack NBDE(which I have just recently heard of) It would be great if I could find someone in the Tampa area(florida) if not then anyone interested in exchanging thoughts through phone or pm or whatever.

Anyone familiar with Crack NBDE by any chance?
