even i scored 84 in part 1( new pattern).. im in a fix whether to take part 1 again or to move forward and take part 2.. dont know how much room for improvement will it be in either case.. what all i have gathered from sdn is that schools just look at the scores.. and nothing else..if we have average g.p.a we have to get a good score(90+). Probably its high time that should apply for part 1 again..

hope this helps!!
 
In my opinion i feel it would be good if you could improve your score but the decision is relative.
Goodluck
 
can anybody over here has the knowledge about re applying?
what are the steps to be taken for re applying for NBDE1
 
all u guys who are double minded about taking the exam again....why dont u apply to universities and study for part I again at the same time? univ looks at higher score anyways....hope i helped....but i def think <87 there's not much of a chance...especially w/ the scores the univ's want now.

i also have the same question. pls culd somebody answer it
As far as I know, it would just be the same process as you did before. But in the application form, just specify that you have taken NBDE before and the app. #. Hope this helps. Go to ADA.org and find out more details.
 
I had taken my NBDE 1 in 2005 and i scored 86. I did not get a school at that time. I had a long gap I know because of personal reasons. Now I am confused whether I should take the part 1 again or take part 2 esp because the pattern has changed.

I had given it in my 3rd year of dental school and then did my residency after graduation 🙁 so wasted that one year!. Now regret it.

I saw in one of the posts that pattern has changed again in feb 2008. I dont know what has changed but if you search sdn you wil find that. I am so depressed that i cant study for part 1 again.. Sometimes i think i should take part 2 and try my best in that and leave everything on God.
I have almost decided that i am not retaking part 1..
Rest is upto you guys, if you are confident you should go ahead and retake..
