Hi,

Is it true that from now onward irrespective of how much we scored before 2011 is considered as pass score? I am just wondering if it is true what will be the criteria each Dental school going to set?

Of course its not true. If they have a score they will look at it. Use some common sense, people. (It doesn't take a science god to figure that out).

Not to get in the middle of anyone's discussion, but where is the link to prove that a numerical score won't be seen? If the ADA is sending out numerical scores, then the school will see it. So, if you're saying that's not true you should post that link before you ask someone else to post one.

Quoting from Revisions to the Examination Regulations, JCNDE 2011 Actions:

"5. Scores for the National Board Dental Examinations Part I and Part II, and the National Board Dental Hygiene Examination, will be reported as pass/fail only effective January 1, 2012.
Scores for examinations taken prior to January 1, 2012 will be reported as numerical scores. Failing scores for examinations taken after January 1, 2012 will be reported as numerical scores."

I think it's simple and clear !!!!!!

Iam confused now!!! I took me exam in 2011 and I will apply next April,so the school will see my score,while the students who took their exam in 2012, will only have pass/fail to show it to the school!! That means the schools will recieve some applications with numerical scores and some applications with only pass/ fail creteria!!! I beleive this going to be confusing
