Hello guys,

Can any one tell me the current exam format for part 2?...
In ADA website, it's stated that 400(discipline- Based Component) and 100(Case-Based component)....If so, How many questions on day 1 and how many on day 2?

But the latest ASDA reprint that I have(TEST D 93)
has component A1-A3 200 for each component so 600 Questions and Component B has 150 case based Questions 😕
 
Hello pals,
Those who took part 2 recently or know abt the current exam format, pls shed some light..
Thanks!

hi , the format is 400 general question from all subjects . if u want the exact breakdown of the number of q / subject check the ada website or request a part 2 application booklet from ADA . it has the break down given in detail .
on the second day there are 100 case based quesions.
the pattern has changed since previous yrs.
hope this helps.

THANK U toothie and Spowari for the response 👍

Hi Spowari, 81 is a good score for part 2...Offcourse you have a very good part1 score but as far as part 2 is concerned it's more than enough is you just pass the exam. So don't worry abt retaking the exam..I am sure you will get in some dental school of your choice.. :luck:

Yeah, Spowari! Good score for Part1! 😀

I don't think you need to retake Part2...81 is a pretty decent score. 🙂 But, don't let us stop you. I mean, if you think you can do better than that, you can always try again.

Do you know anyone with ADA questions for Part 2? I'm taking Part 2 myself this March... :idea: 😱
