Hi, this may sound really dumb..........but what is a pilot paper
virtualmeet said:hi doc,
according to my knowledge pilot paper is one which was released by ASDA and it was given to dental schools that weren't doing good on the dental board exams...(400 questions in that paper)..correct me anyone if i am wrong..
cheers..
ItsGavinC said:Very wrong.
The ADA is changing the format of Part I, but prior to changing it they want to know how dental students will do with the new format.
So, students take the Pilot exam, and then take the real Part I, and then the ADA can compare scores to see if the new format of the exam is too difficult or too easy, etc.
It has nothing to do with the ASDA or schools doing poorly on boards.

hi!ItsGavinC said:When we took the Pilot exam last year, they told us they were expecting to change the exam THIS summer.
I will say, however, that the new format will probably be much easier. The pilot exam had normal-style questions and then some of the new-style questions on it. The new-style questions are "case-based," where you are given a short paragraph to read and then 3-5 questions all based on that paragraph.
Those new-style questions were MUCH easier.

ItsGavinC said:The format will change, not the content. The material you have to know is the same.
