nobody knows!!!!!!! please share

first of all stop yelling.

here is the format:

1st day: 200 questions (mixed) in the morning
200 questions (mixed) in the afternoon

2nd day: 100 questions - Clinical Cases

Next time take the time to go to the official website ada.org. Infact, i strongly recommend looking at the website. doesnt really benefit if you take the exam without knowing anything about the exam now does it?

Thanks for your time, as I know we need to get around 350 question out of 500 to pass, is that correct?

I have heard all sorts of numbers for passing. One of my friends took the exam and got a 318/500 and failed the exam (he got a 74). All he did was go through the front (not the back) of the dental decks. He has to wait 90 days to retake it.. so, I am not really sure. If you fail the exam, apparently you get the breakdown of your failure.. maybe so you can study differently. I just took the exam and once I get the results, I will post my feedback and what I thought was the most helpful/least helpful.
