There were so many questions i wasn't sure of !!!! many things are not given in decks about which they ask..........Reading kaplan book is a must!!!!!!!!
Good Luck for those preparing for the test!

hello everyone .. i gave my exam august end and i got my result yesterday.. pass...
i just want to help others who are confused ,stressed and dont know where to start as i was .. so i did ASDA papers ( very useful ) , first aid and decks and wikipedia to clear my doubts.,, i personally feel they were enough .. Its just keep revising everything again and again and try to clear your concepts,, I wish everyone all the best..thanx
Hi guys! I failed the exam... :'(( it says that my score is 74%. I thought that it's only pass or fail, i didn't know that the scores will be shown if failed. Anyway, I am 1% shorter to passing score. It's frustrating! Anyway, I might take the second one on december, good luck to those who are gonna take the exam! The only thing I can advice right now is just do your best and just focus on 2-3 study materials and repeat it. Good luck!
part one can be done in 4-6 months ...refer first aid and decks...and if ur aiming for IDP program and if ur a FTD... any how ur going to get admission after ur BDS degree completion.congrats all of you
can you tell me which books to refer.i'm planning to give my exam 11 months from now.I have my boards in 8 months!
i am a third yearB.D.S. student !please tell me how to prepare.i dont have the slightest clue of it.

I must say at this point of time u r in a very very very good shoes! ....concentrate on ur studies right now for 3rd year and final year ...and get a high GPA ...because ...u can prepare for NBDE in 4-6 months in ur internship .... even if something goes wrong with it in 1st attempt there is always a second chance.... but GPA can not be altered once done is done!
as NBDE goes pass fail now good GPA is one of the key element to get into a good school..... ..
Can you please provide some feedback? Appreciate it!
Hi niccadental....I'm a female dentist fom El Salv.Im studying dentistry in Costa Rica, I finish in december, im a us citizen, I wanna do a specialty programme in texas since to get a license in texas you only need a 2 yr specialty programme. First I know I have to take the nbdes parts 1&2, but I wanna start studying now, I plan to take the exams sometime near june 2013, in my case how much time is it considered enough to prepare for the exam, and what are the best study guides, is kaplan a good choice?? Thanx for your replies!!!!
You're great! Thank youhey everyone .....i gave my nbde1 on the 5th of sept 2012 and recieved a mail saying PASS on the 30th of sept.my advice to all the future test takers is to have the basic knowledge only....do not go into the detail of each subject except anatomy and dental part......there were lots of questions from embryology too even in the testlets.....and clinical general knowledge i.e the systems......i studied kaplan the whole book cover to cover three times in a span of two months......thats all.....in the exam just go with the flow....dont hang on to the questions u are not sure of......i mean dont fret over it.....i was so bored that i finished my exam an hour before and did not even have patience to try to remember the questions.....or to revise.......as a result i spent 25 sleepless nights because i was 90% sure i would fail......so just be cool and try to do ur best......and ya eat well and sleep well from the day u start studying.....no need to worry......its just an exam....ALL THE BEST EVERYONE!!!
Finally I m done with Part 1 - PASS
Got my result in 17 days ..
I must say exam was ok .....if ur scoring more then 78-80% on the ASDA papers... go and give part 1..You will be through ...
be calm throughout the exam..read every question carefully ...there were about 35 questions in each section which I marked for review... and after giving my exam I was under the impression that I ruined it ....but to be precise... there was no single question which was out of the scope of the syllabus.. and yeah in testlets offcourse u have to apply ur clinical judgement a bit ... as those questions were quite conceptual.
First aid, Decks and ASDA papers covers nearly every topic which is asked in the examination ....but ...I must say supplement all these things with books and wiki. ...
Hello:
Congratulations on Passing Part 1.
Thanks for providing information in your post, it was helpful.
Could you please clarify what you meant by 80% in ASDA papers. Do you mean getting 80% on the first attempt of answering the questions on a particular year exam or making sure to go through all ASDA papers and being able to answer 80% after revising them several times??
I would be very grateful if you can clarify, as I am taking the test in a month and am only scoring around 70-72% on my first attempt at the question papers.
Thanks
How long does an average level student need to study for? I feel like I remember nothing haha
Hey... Can u help me with some tips? I have my exam in two weeks...what to concentrate on n during the exam?... Plz plz help
Hey guys,
I need an advice from people who took the new NBDE 2012. I have following questions:
1) How much score on ASDA is good to go?
2) How are the testlet? Difficult? Manageable ? Or tricky?
3) How to prepare for ethics n testlets?
4) Is the time given sufficient to solve 400 questions?
Please help me with these questions... I have my exam imminent...
Hi,...well
1. around if ur scoring 78-80 % on ASDA before exams then ur good to go and ur on the safer side.
2.20 - 30 % of question on the exam are testlets
3. Decks is more then enough for ethics but yeah do it in and out nicely.
4.For testlets.. I only did testlets provided with decks ...just to have rough idea ...testlets are not tough if u know part 1 subjects well u will get over this.
5. there is enough time for 400 questions..If u dont know any question mark it down and later come back to it .
Good luck for ur exams ..do well
Hey thanks D1804 for answering...
I also have these questions,
1) Are the questions worded very strangely? I heard they twist the sentences a lot... Or are the questions similar to those in ASDA...
2) Did u come across any new format questions? Like multiple choice or match the columns?
3) Do they give picture questions in testlet or in general?
4) I hope they don't get into much details beyond what is given in first aid, ASDA or decks...
Thanks for the guidance...
well .
.there were not many twisted questions ...majority of the questions were straight forward ...some are indirect questions ..but I did not find any twisted language or sentence...Questions are more or like ASDA format .
Fortunately I did not get any new format questions ..just testlets ..
I did not get many of the picture questions either ... but it was on both ...
Decks ..firstaid ASDA are good to go ...But I was out of a dental school for a while ..as I M FTD ...I used lots of text and wiki to brush up things but in the end I used these 3 ..and I guess this is ok... from these 3 materials u will cover every thing which is in the syllabus.

Hello D1804,
Hope if you can answer these questions.
Are the testlet questions asked in depth? Did you study from medical review books? Which book did you refer for biochemistry? Are the decks and ASDA enough? Your reply would be appreciated.
thanks
