Can u pls share your exam experience?
 
First of all it is very difficult to stay concentrated for 7 hours even with a break, last 2 hour I was on autopilot. Second - there were a lot of questions like "how will you deal with an angry patient?" There were questions from Part 1, not many but about 10. Frankly I did not remember dental anatomy and microbiology in such a detail. Second day was easy, but I do have a lot of experience so for other it might be more difficult. Have to tell you that radiographs were very bad and small, difficult to use. For example, to diagnose the level of the bone loss.

how about pharmacology???where did you study pharma from oralcare ,?? It's very intense and hard to remember... Is it ok to study pt mgnt from mosby and deck??
 
I studied from the decks mostly. Went through tufts pharma notes, but was too saturated/overstudied could not memorize much. In regards to Patient management I used decks, there were a lot of child behavior management as well. I started Mosby, but was too sick and tired of studying
 
totally agree about the difficulty of the first day..it was so due to lot of Qs on behavioral management , child control ,sedation , insurance issues and things not that related to clinical dentistry!
lot of perio Qs...
pharma for me was ok..
2ed day as well was ok...radio-graphs sometimes was not so clear but i think u could manage..
but now I am not ok as long as I am still waiting for my result😵
 
Received my score report finally after 3o days...and Passed :soexcited:
all the best for all of you...
