Hello everyone, I am currently a D2 and I am interested in going to the OMFS field. I recently started looking up stuff about the CBSE and there is just so much advice on how to study for it, I honestly do not know where to start. I attend a dental school that does not provide much medical education nor are there any specific breaks so that I can spend time studying for it. As it stands, I think I want to use the whole 2025 to just study the material and take the exam in February 2026 during my D3 year. I know UFaP is essential to do well on the CBSE but I am not sure if I should start from there as I have no medical background.
Some questions regarding how to start studying:
What do you guys recommend to use to start learning the material?
How much time should I aim to use for studying (considering I still have to focus on my didactic courses)?
When should I transition to UFaP?
Some questions regarding resources:
Would you recommend BnB or Bootcamp? If I do use these sources, should I stop using them at some point like once I get to UFaP or just keep them?
What are your thoughts on using Sketchy? Should I utilize it for all sections or just for micro and pharm?
What is the anki deck that most people are using to study? If anyone could provide a link to it, I would greatly appreciate it.
Is First Aid used for learning the material or just for reviewing? I have seen two sides about this so I am not sure how to utilize it.
Thoughts on Pixarize and Golian Lectures?
I am sorry about the many questions but any insight on this would be greatly appreciated. Any schedules or plans that people have used for studying for it would be appreciated as well! I think seeing some schedules may be a good way to kind of build my own and see how I could adapt my schedule to accommodate studying. It is just so many resources available so I don't want to go overkill and it won't help my case considering I am a broke dental student lol. Thanks again everyone!
