Can you please provide some feedback? Appreciate it!
Can i depend on dental decks only ??? coooz many many told me thisTook it yesterday, it was the same as the released practice exams pretty much as far as question content. I didn't have any new format style questions (Multiple answer, extended matching, and such) which was kind of surprising.
Hello All,
I took my exam yesterday and don't feel good about it. It was hard and detailed. I read from decks, ASDA, kaplan, various books. There were questions that i have never heard of and did not understand them. I tried googling after exam nothing exists. anyways, i would say remem each question on ASDA as many questions were from it. revise as much as possible because if you don't remem at the time of exam then its no point reading at the first place. I will repost when i get my result. You can ask me if u have any questions.
That's all most people in my class are using. The decks and old released ASDA exams. I have only used the decks supplemented with my notes and have gotten about 150-160/200 on the practice exams. The decks mention almost everything you need to know. You just have to go through them several times to catch it all. But unless you study for several months you are not going to know everything.any one answer plzzzzz .. are thw dental decks enough to study them only ??? cozz many many told me to read them only
Thanks Rlow for your words. I was getting around 80 in ASDA.Sorry about your exam, I'm sure you passed - everyone feels crappy after they take it.
How were you scoring on the ASDA released exams before you took it?

hi,can anyone tell me which exam should be taken first nbde part 1 oer toefl??
HiI just took my exam yesterday. I think the exam was 10% super hard, 20% hard, 50% medium, 20% super easy. I studied for one month and 2 weeks 7 hours per day. I finished DECKS twice and the important ones three times.. I finished all released questions twice... too tooooo many questions are repeated with different wording I faced maybe 10 questions same exact words. Kaplan is your WORST resource either the book or specially the stupid videos. I graduated 8 years ago I didn't practice dentistry since 4 years.. I absolutely couldn't remember what masticatory muscles are before I started, everything was like I am studying a new language and I know I will pass in shaa Allah. study smart and don't spend too much time on one info there's wary too much to cover. good luck for everybody
hiI have the 2012-2013 Decks and the released Qs from the 90s-2009..... Kaplan is not only a waste of time but also it makes you want to quit on studying! the wording and organizing of the book is terrible. the USMLE videos is boring and too many details you will never be asked about... there Q bank is very confusing! don't spend one minute on the Q bank, spend every minute on the released questions YOU have to do hundreds of released the more you do the more you close to pass.. I also used first aide for dental anatomy as it was about 30 pages after I finished decks and it was very organized, straight to the point and from my experience they DO use a lot of first aide dental anatomy wording in the exam. GOOD LUCK

It depends on where you take it. At my test center I wasn't allowed to have any study material during the break, they even went with me when I was taking my food out of the locker. Whereas, my friend who took the test in CT was allowed to walk out of the center for that hour, they just told her to be back on time.sim sim

I wouldn't advise you to review anything. The test is really random, is highly unlikely that the things you review will be on the test and also, the level of difficulty of the second half was wayy higher (this is probably just my impression). So you need to be rested to be able to concentrate. Remember that is not just about knowledge but also about endurance...
@Simsim. It's all mixed, the whole test, there's not a specific pattern. Try to do I-L, I-M or I-N of the ASDA series and you'll get the idea. And yes I felt that you have enough time to complete the test and review. As for the break I only took about 25 minutes because I was feeling tired already and wanted to get back to it while I still had some energy. Good luck!!!
hey all, i gav my xam on may 3 and got results on may21....passed...studied for three and half mths..kaplan decks and asda.
