yeah so, if we have taken the NBDE part II and passed before being accepted into dental school, do we have to retake it once we graduate dental school? or can we skip it since we already did it? thanx ain advance.

Hello, Dr. Ace.

I'm pretty sure we don't have to take this exam one more time as far as we had already passed it. But you can retake NBDE p.2 if you want to improve your score. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

cool! thanx for the response! I was just curious.

You dont need to retake part 2 after the advanced standing as long as you have passed it. You would only need to retake it to try get a higher score if you want to apply for a post-grad program. Otherwise for practise, the licensing boards just require a pass (75 score).

Hi, I think it also depends on where you want to practice. I know you can keep your NDBE scores forever in Oregon but in California, I think they are only valid for 5 or 10 years. Correct me if I am wrong! 😛
