what's your correction rate when you took those old test?

I only got like 50-60% for first day questions. For case studies, about the same. Seems too low, right?

I only have three weeks left. Pls give me some suggestions. Thank you!

I found out those people got 90's usually have correction rate around 80%, those who just passed that got around 70%. (with variety of course)

Is that true?

On the old tests, I was scoring approximately 75-80%.

On the latest set of exams (2001-2008 I think), I was scoring approximately 55-65%. Those questions were much harder.

I scored a 73 the first time....all I used was dental decks and Mosby's. The second time I scored an 80 and used class notes from different dental schools, Mosby's, decks, and old exams.

The level of difficulty of Pharm questions on the dental decks and exams is pretty close to the level of the actual exam. I felt that the other sections of the dental decks where much easier than the actual exam.

which sections did most questions come from? which section from decks is easier than the actual exam?

was the retake harder like other ppl on sdn said? how long did u spend studying on part 2 the first time as opposed to the retake?

I think my exam had a lot of prosth and operative. I think all the dental decks section were easier than the actual exam except for oral pathology and pharmacology.

I don't feel the second exam was any harder than the first exam. I underestimated the difficulty of the exam the first time. I took the exam two weeks after the WREBs and only studied about 3 weeks for it. The second time I studied for about 3.5 months about 5 or 6 days a week.
