Hi guys, I have been following your posts and found it really interesting. I am also taking Part I in June 2008 (I know, you might think that I have tons of time). But the fact is that, I am working full-time (IT) and have a family. So its kind of hard for me to spend 8 hrs a day etc. But long story short, I have very old material (both for Decks and NBDE qps). I would be greatly interested in buying First Aid NBDE as most of you have been talking about. Where could I get it.? Secondly, I 'll be more than willing to share my knowledge and info with all of you. .I will be using SDN forums regularly from now (atleast for 130 min/day). Thanks and let me know.
 
hey pple,last two weeks to go,hows the final countdown going?
i prefer decks 5 days ,q bank 3 days,kaplan 4 days .
wat do u pple think?
 
Hi Drknali! Its drika11 I truly want to wish you best of luck! if you can where can I find the associated dental stain with their respective bacteria--- could you please send me your thoughts for green,orange,brown,black,yellow! PLEASE!!!!!
 
hi

I thought of just writing few lines for all of those out there who are retaking NBDE .. I know it was frustating enough the 1st time and the 2nd time its more tuff. Someone I know always told me if you don't make it the 1st time you will always hang on and never succeed. That was the philosopy I had when I was in my homeland and everything came easy. I had no one to prove and noone to judge me. I was a Dentist alright working and everything. But I wanted more and here I am in US struggling with NBDE Exam. (can you believe it!)

Life has taught me a valuable lesson. Life is a challenge and we should fight if we believe in our dreams and if our convictions are true , dreams become reality. Maybe it takes 3 months for someone to ace the exam a year for the other person in the end we all are survivors and winners! Especially all those of us who are still fighting with it everyday. Believe me there are thousands of us doing the same thing right now. Studying and preparing ourselves for the future ---Sun will definately shine down on us.. Keep up the spirit!

this is exactly my sentiments which iam sure is voiced by all of us here,
thank you doc,it is inpiring
 
Well said sarika, People should not give up at all. For some people dreams coming knocking at their doorstep , but for those who has a dream they should not wait, they should chase em and get em not matter how..........just chase em and get it. No human being on earth is weak, they have the power deep within and one should ignite that flame when situation demands it.Like once said,,
Arise awake and stop not till the goal is achieved.
 
Well folks finally took my exam,
was not that bad,there were 40 ques of 400 too wierd,the rest was basic.
To get a 90 i can finally formulate the exact study material

1.tons of released ques,i mean tons,all old ques are recycled.
2.Biochem do kaplan ,lipencort for collagen and basics like
dna library,pcr,restriction endoneuclease the whole works.
3.micro & path decks...google all topics.
4.anat........head and neck..full body blood ,nerve and lymp drainage.
bone,nerve and muscle histo.....kaplan.,nbde first aid.
5.phsio ...kaplan.......hormones,receptors,muscle,nerve conduction,well all basics.
6.tooth morph wheelers very imp..occlusion kaplan q bank.

forget the remembered q banks papers ,the unreleased papers,they are way wrong ,i wasted a whole lot of time cracking them,not worth it.they undermine ur confidence.

finally loads of luck and prayers,[too bad if u r an atheist]
things may go wrong ,bad things do happen,dont panic,carry 2 id cards on u [i did not]..........
Come what may, be a Braveheart and not a *****.
