hi
I think it is better to start with the dental decks.As for the the kaplan material i personally feel it is a waste of time and energy(money too).But it is your personal choice if you want to study kaplan books too.Anyway, whatever you read make sure you read the decks atleast 4 to 5 times and then do the question papers.

i personally dont agree that kaplan is a waste of time..though there's a lot of stuff to remember and once u go through it, will give u a lot of confidence in solving tricky questions.
Decks is also good and of course go through all the old question papers.
If u have jus graduated from college, it will be easy to prepare for part 1..some ppl do it in a couple of months and get a score above 90.But if its been a long time since u touched ur books..it will take time for u to get into the study mode.
Plan well..make sure u have ample time for revision.Dont worry if u keep forgetting watever u study in the beginning..it happens to all of us..jus keep revising till u r confident enough to write the exam.
Good luck!!
