Hello friends,
i gave my exam on 23rd and 24th july and have no idea whether i will pass or not but the moment i finished i decided to write about my experience for the exam going members.....plez plez plez
1) don't just rely on decks.....they are not enough
2) be thourough with perio especially implants half of my paper included q's from implants....
3) questions look familiar but the options are hard to distinguish...e.g..a pt with diabetes and hypertention becums unconscious.....wht will be the reason hypertsive crisis or hypoglycemia.we know both but hve to be very careful reading the history.
4)questions about behavioral modifications,theories,conditioning,paraphrasing,desensitization,insurance plans.......tones of q's from these.
5)my exam was a blend of public health and perio,implantology.....not much core dentistry....
6) mosby is a great book...be thorough with it...i hardly read it once...i read kaplan review notes for the last few days.....they were helpful ....antibiotic premedication is nicely written there n had many q's on that including different diseases which may or may not require premedication!
7)papers definitely help to get the feel of exam but i didnt get many repeat q's .
i hope these tips will help you all.good luck !do pray for my success...it would be wonderful to get over this exam....!
