My retake today was soooo hard!! I can't believe how difficult it was. There were so many Pt Management, pedo, perio question I had no idea what the answer was. I know some people got a version where there were lots of repeats but unfortunately that wasn't me.

I'm so scared now. Will I pass? If I don't I won't graduate this month and will have to stay in school until August AND lose my GPR spot. This is CRAZYYYY :scared::scared:

Did anyone who retook the exam get my version?

Sorry to hear fishey - but here's the "dealio":
There is NOTHING you can do at this point, worrying won't get you anywhere... I know, I know.... it's hard but.... you can try really hard to just relax until you get your scores. I felt the EXACT same way, I felt my exam was crazy hard w/some off the wall ?s I'd never heard of and some words that almost read like a different language. I did happen to graduate late and i felt horrible about it, but hey, it all worked out in the end... not the way I would have wanted to, but it's all good now. Keep your fingers crossed and have faith, do keep us updated. Wish you the best of luck!! :xf:

Did you have to pay more tuition or just wait out the 90 days for the next exam period and study??

I dont' remember my scores but yes, it seemed on my test the # of ?s I got right seemed lower than what everybody else was getting so I didn't have to score that high to pass it.

I need some help. Do anyone of you know thru yourself/friends/family etc..that after U wait for 1 yr..and reappear..IS IT A FRESH START? i.e. Just like giving for the FIRST TIME EVER..or is it that JCDE keeps in record of the prior failure scores/versions and accordingly presents a "different" version (probably more difficult or easy one).

I was in the impression that Prior scores get voided after 3-4 failed attempts..thats why they let u wait for 1 yr plus more time to study...Please help..Thanks in advance

No I dont' remember but for me day 2 was much better and really helped me out. I think I scored between 71-75 on the second day, so I was happy that the second day was much more reasonable than the first. Again, good luck and don't sweat it!
 
Hi odontologia,

When did you take your exam? The same happened to me. First day was very hard, I was so confuse and felt really bad. But second day was totally different, the questions were much more easier and straight forward. Still need to wait 2 or 3 weeks for the result. :xf:

my exam was in nov/dec. so a while back.
 
i thought my Day 2 was really hard...lots of blurry xrays and dumb q's....really nervous about that

This was one of the most common complaints I heard from many of my classmates when we all took part 2. Some of those questions were just ridiculous given the supporting information (or should I say lack of) that was provided. How can you ask a question about a tooth when only half of the tooth even appears on the radiograph??? 😕
 
yeah exactly...how do they expect us to tx plan when half the tooth not shown...ridiculous

i havent gotten my results...took it in last week of april
 
Hi

Me and my friend also took it last week of April. The test was hard.
But cannot complain about x rays. They were o.k.
still waiting for test results. Hopefully should do o.k.

Do let me know if u get your test results
