hi simsimOh..thnks a lot ...mixed ..I thnk ,,that's gud ....u get bored answerg same subject ,..mixed s ok ...what u thnk?
hey any test taker of may. did u get your result
Hey!! I have a similar question to Dentgem. For those who have taken the exam recently, is the exam format changed? As in multiple answer choices, matching, etc?? Or is it the same as in the past (I hope!)? Also, would it matter much if I've studied from the '09-'10 decks instead of the more recent decks??
salam, m doing prep for part 1 NBDE, can u tell me from where i can get those released paprers? i have dental decks 2007, can it be sufficeint for study?if u plz rep...I 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
i passed wow
incredible
you def need to study the kaplan blue book, imho the new exam is way harder than the released exams til 1985. every 3rd question i was not confident of the answer. PM me if you want to buy my copy of kaplan, i'm getting rid of all my books.
For real?
I'm taking the exam on Aug 2nd. I'm so nervous... Now I'm just answering kaplan qubank and asda released papers. And my scores are pretty low, like 50-70%...hii i am taking exam in july. is anybody taking too??? please reply. we can be of help to each other.
thnks
hey got ur result??Hi guys, I just took my part 1 today. I can't say it was so easy or so hard. I basically studied with 2012/2013 dental decks, first aid and the anatomy section of kaplan. I didn't come across any multiple answers pattern., but a lot testlets and lots of questions from biochemistry and microbiology. Dental occlusion questions were much also.
There were a lot of questions I had no clue about, am looking unto God for PASS.
, and waiting for result.
I 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
