Part 1 after 2010...................

Hi everyone,

I am a FTD and am thinking of retaking my part 1 (as I am having bad scores). After reading the various threads in SDN and going through the part 1 guide and the ADA web site my take on the new changes are that
a) From Jan 2010 we will no longer be able to retake NBDE if we get a pass score of 75 and above and from jan (?)
b) From 2012 the NBDE will be only Pass/Fail and scores will not be reported.

Now my doubt is that in page 8 of the part 1 guide it say's "An application may be submitted no more than 12 months before the examination date.", "Candidates are eligible for only a 12-month period. If you do not call, register and take the NBDE Part I during this period, you will have to submit another application and fee in order to take the examination later."

Now does this mean that if we apply for re-examination, hypothetically lets say I apply for the re-examination in Sept 09 and am found to be eligible to take the exam then I have time till Sept 2010 to schedule and take the exam??? even though I will be re-taking the exam??

Thanks for reading my long post,

Suna.

Hi
Called ADA @ 800-232-1694 to confirm and clarify my doubt in my first post and the rep said that ADA will and do respect (for want of a better word) the 12 months period if one registers fro the exam before 2009 Dec. So my take from the conversation is that if a re-examination candidate regesters for the NBDE before Dec 2009 we can take the exam before Dec 2010 even though it will be a re-exam.

Am going to send an e-mail and get it in writing if possible.

nb candy, what you mean to say is, if we register for the exams rightaway, that is in 2009, then we have a chance to re-take ?
only Jan 2010 onward, applications will be not allowed if one gets score of 75 or above ?

is it your first time for NBDE1 ?
and when did u call the ADA ?
