Nbde1 -done!

[dentals]

Hi everyone!

I had my NBDE1 on August 13th. It was a long day for me, but I made it through.

Some things were easy, some were from old tests, and some just very difficult. The biggest problem is timing-there was no time to go over and do some things again.
It is great that I got my results a week later but score was just 87.
I am glad I have passed it, but, still I was expecting more than that since I have been studying so hard and working long hours at part time job.
Material that I used:

-Decks (2004)
-Old tests
-Kaplan (just at the beginning and decided that was to hard to study just from it)
-Wikipedia-that is great tool!
-USMLE-(Cell biology)
-Ridiculously Simple ( Micro and some Bio)
- Some of the books recommended by ADA, when first time studied Decks (Grant's Anatomy, Histology, Biochemistry..)

After realizing that nbde you could study for years, I just started using Decks and old exams.

I am just glad It is over and can not wait to go on vacation (I deserve it after all)!

Thank you all for good posts and advices; this is great site for us.
I wish you all success!

Hope some will find this helpful!
