Hi there,

NDBE PART 1 result is out. I got 82% overall. Can you guys please suggest me if I can get admission to any IDP programs with this score or I should take Part1 exam again? Or, Just go along with this score and take PART II.

hi.
congratulations .
u can apply but i personally feel that u should re take part 1... better the scores , better ure chances. the competition has really gone up.
but its ure decision...
anyway ure probably late applying to most colleges for 2005.. except NYU. so as u have time before the next batch of admissions start , u can retake part 1 and give part 2....
 
My best advice to you is to retake part-1.just take your own time this time around 3-4 months and concentrate only on retaking part-1.i am sure you will acheive more than 90,its not that hard on the sametime its not that easy too.
dodnt give up in a hurry.Any how congrats.Good luck.
 
Hello everyone,

Thanks!!

I get my result today too. I didn't do well at all. As matter of fact, I went to the test without serious preparation. Just to "test the water". I had an average of 68. I was surprised to have 70 in dental anatomy/occlusion without any preparation. I understand perfectly when you said: " its not that hard on the sametime its not that easy too." Now I know what to excpect. There is no secret, only hard work pays. I'm heading to kaplan..wish me good luck!!! To those who had 80+, congratulations! I'm sure we'll do better next time.

Hi Sunita,

Congrats on getting this good score. I wish you all the best for your future endevours.

What material were you consulting while preparing for the exam? I consulted only ASDA past papers. I think I was lacking something. I do not think ASDA past papers are only sufficient for Part I exam. If you give more insight it would be great for new people here.

All,
Thanks all for giving me all those valuable suggestions.

Thanks
 
hi sunitha 👍 ,

congrats,very good score.

all the best.

i know this quesrion is for sunita...
just my 2 cents...
the ASDA papers are definately not adequate.
decks need to be throughly read....
and u need to really know ure subject . read from text books whatever topics u arnt sure about ... in order to get a high score one really needs to know the subject .
i also got 83 the first time i gave my exam and improved after i thoughly studied .
all the best

according to me all colleges are good as long as you get your DDS Degree
Score of 91 which you got is very competitive
You have a shot at almost all the possible universities offering IDP Program
what defines a college good or bad??
I don't see any college which is bad in USA or Canada
If you have a choice ,you must select the university which has the cheapest and shortest program
Also the geographical location plays a big part when you are looking at a college close to where you live and where you feel more comfortable
You must also focus on doing well in practicals because I think most of them with the exception of NYU, BU and UPENN have practicals exams
some of them also take theory exams and others want part 1 and 2 scores
so my dear friend, don't worry about getting into a good college, just focus on getting into at least some school

sorry baldan
I did not apply to USC as I had missed the deadline, so cannot help you on that
but I am sure there are lots of people on SDN who went to USC and can guide you on their PBL Program
good luck buddy

I think you should browse through the sdn and you will get a lot of feedbacks on nbde preparations
dental decks and asda papers are good enough only to pass the boards
but I don't think you just want to pass? correct??
you need to score high to compete with others
personally I liked the kaplan rewiew books, I made short notes after thoroughly reading the subject
also refered to text books a lot
very important to know the subject properly and I liked the kaplan explanations to all the past papers, that helps a lot
everybody has differant ways, there is no short cut here
you need to know your stuff very well

hi meetlife
I did join Kaplan only for part 1, I have not given my part 2 yet,
I plan to take part 2 while in school
Kaplan's new review book is excellent, covers all the subjects very well
they had some few video lectures which were very good but certainely they were not enough
I think their explanation to the past released papers were excellent, which gives you an idea on why a particular answer is right and why are others wrong
this helps a great deal during your exams as you learn how to eliminate the wrong answers
I also took their Q-bank ,which I found useless,
But as I mentioned before, you have to learn all the subjects very well
till the time of your exams , you should be totally focused on part 1 and get away from all the distractions which includes ,I am afraid SDN(Sdn can be very addictive)
that was my way ,
everybody has their own way to prepare for the exams and you should do whatever suits you the best
But I would repeat my statement again ,"there are no short cuts to success"
you gotta work hard and in the end it pays rich dividends especially in a great country like USA
