Hi everyone,
finally i finished my exam.... computer based exam is very comfortable ,u also get ample time to think and answer..... My exam was ok... Mind u ,i worked very hard and revised decks many times.... coming to the point.... highlights...
anat;facial nerve,trigeminal n,muscles involved in protrusion and retrusion,sphenopalatine artery ,circle of willis,axillary artery,braciocephalic vein,nerves derived from different arches....
physio;many questios on gap junction,hemidesmosomes....
patho;neurofibromatosis,ludwigs angina...
DA..too many questions on anatomy of primary teeth....
4-5 questions on ethics....
ya i agree that decks are the best material to refer but many things were there which were asked in depth... i did only decks and question papers... some repeats were there from old papers... many questions were tough where i was suppose to read question atleast twice and then eliminate options and then select the right answer....I am not sure about how i did those things...
I dont say it is a tough exam but mind u its not easy too....
I went to test centre at 7.30am.. i started my test after ten min... afternoon i took only half an hour break .... i was done with my exam by 3.30 pm.... U can take the tution which is available in candidate guide for practice...overall my exam was ok...but i am not satisfied for the amount of hard work i did for my preparation.... u need not worry about the clinical questions ,if u know ur decks well, u will do it ... ok good luck to u guys..please do post ur experience after ur exam... i was the only person who took nbde part 1 exam in the whole centre ,so dont expect that u will get some one with whom u can share ur opinion about the exam...if u want to know something from me, u are welcome... good luck with ur preparation ....

any one got their score reports today? tension is building up day by day!!
 
hi everyone ,
those who gave the xm recently ..is there anything that the questions dont actually relate to the case given ...or ques of the same case are not in sequence .if its true how to really cope with it .plz share your experience .
moreover is the time sufficient .did anyone of u got any time regarding problem ??😕
 
Since most of u are waiting for ur scores, can u all post your raw scores?
Thanks
 
Am I the only one who doesn't have any score, raw or ortherwise?

Bubbly, those of us who took the exam June 1st haven't received any sort of score
 
hey guys, i took my test on the 30th of may and i studied only decks. I failed all 4 subjects. Feeling like a failure! I thought i was ready, thought i knew the decks front and back, but it wasn't what i expected it to be. What is? Anyway, has anyone had an experience like this, can you please give me some advice? Feel lost.🙁
 
Hi mis2863:
It seems the new test more difficult than the old one.
Sorry about ur result.

Sorry abt that!
I thought they give the raw scores on the same day of your exams.. you know at the end of the exam, showing how many questions you got rite.
LoL!
 
sorry about your result, you sat your exam may 30th and already got result? Maybe the rest of us will get our results in this coming week and we will be in a better position to answer your question after we know if we failed or passed
If you don't mind, please let us know what your score was, thank you

i am sorry to hear about the result
i gave on 1st june still didnt get the score report. but your result has terrified me
dont get disheartened. it is not the end of the world. pick up your cards again , i think somehow somewhere your preparation is lacking.
after going through decks pick up any material that makes your fundamentals clear
if you have any problem you can ask .
you still have time. so start preparing and give your best shot
good luck
