Hi guys,
I am new to SDn.
I recently gave the exam in March and received 82% with the new format. i did not find the exam difficult and my marks were surprising to me.
Anybody have any advice. Could i apply to any uni's with this score. Like California??

GPA-2.83
Toefl-107 IBT

Please reply back

Hi, guys. I needed some advice. I took NBDE 1 last year in the old format and got 87, I do not know what to do now. I have heard that the new format is really tough and most people are scoring in the 80's, the highest I've heard is a 91. I wanted to apply for this next cycle, so many of the deadlines are in august. I am registered to retake part 1 in a few weeks, but now i dont know if i should because what if i score lower? If i dont take part 1 again and i prepare for part 2 with the hopes that my part 2 score will help my application then i miss the august deadlines, but if i apply with my 87 in part 1 alone, will that give me good chances of admission anywhere? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I REALLY need it. thank you all for your time in advance.

hi dentindia,
my advice is to take part 2, 87 being a decent score for part 1, and to improve this way your chances...check the acceptance thread to see other people scores....if you have any US experience, even better...
good luck👍
