Hi all,
I got a very low score in NBDE part 1 - 75%. I kind of gave up on my dream to be a dentist in the USA after that. This was a year back in 2010. I applied to a few schools but didn't hear anything from them for 2011 intakes. So, I decided it was of no use and I didn't even apply to any schools the second time for intakes in 2012 thinking it was a waste of money and time. But my conscience is not letting me give up. Do you think I should take part 2? Is it going to be of any use? Provided I do take it in 2012, I will have 5 chances to retake it right? And also could you guide me as to which books are best for the NBDE 2 prep? Please help me out guys. I feel my life is screwed up. I'm really not sure what to do.
