Hi everyone. I am also planning to take NBDE part 1 in april-may.
I would like your opinion if its the correct time or too early to appear and whether 4-5 months are enough for its preparation? I am an Intern and have just started with the preparations for NBDE.
 
i am also planning to appear in march so plz lets start and let me know how to start , i m new and taking exam first time ...
 
You guys should pair up and get a study partner. It is much easier and faster to study when you have someone to discuss the material with. 4-5 months is more than enough to study for the exam. Just make sure to not waste time for a year or something trying to get a good score. Good luck!
 
Im looking at giving the exam in april too....havent started preparing yet though....will start from jan and hope to pick up pace....dont want to give it too much time... doing the decks and question papers ....also hope to look thru first aid.🙂

2006-07 decks are fine mate... get on with your preps whole heartedly...
 
Hi all...to all those who have just started or are planning to start...

1. Prepare your minds well about the one and only chance for part1.
2. gather the books...i suggest dental decks, kaplan review notes, asda papers to start with...supplementations later..
3. start with decks, be thorough with them...and then try papers...
4. supplement with kaplan...
5. revise and re-revise...thats the key...
6. keep posting !!!!
 
anytime mate... do post in if you have any specific thing to ask!
ill be more than happy to help you...

Anyone in or around Sacramento CA prreparing for Part I ?!
 
Guys,
I already have 82 in Part1 and I am planning to retake it. My question is If in new method it is just pass/fail what value will it bring to retake the exam? Confused ... Please help
 
It is not becoming pass/fail till 2012. Unless you want to wait for 2 years, in my opinion it brings ALOT of value.

Thanks toothfairy482... It was a confusion created by someone on the forum that they are just giving pass/fail
 
hi folks

I m looking for a study partner who is retaking nbdepart1 .I had scored 80 during my 1st attempt ,wish to take the exam by march end

thanks
 
hey cn any of u guys tell me whether according to the new 2010 guidelines cn we retake the exam after three months to upgrade our score.pple r tellin me u c retake only if u gt below 75.pllllzzzz help me out with the confusion.
 
I don't understand why people keep on asking the same repeated questions ?
Why don't you put some more effort in finding the answers ? When some body hears something from a friend or a source why don't they question from where they received the info and the link or website where they got to know the info from. Checking the ADA website gives out all the information.
For that matter there are so many threads regarding the same in this website. Any ways to answer your question.

From 2010 once the candidate passes the part 1 exam they cannot retake the exam unlike earlier to improve their scores. Hope this helps.
