I have recently started to worry that I'm not actually being taught enough relevant information in class by the professors. We will have lectures on dental related topics, but come exam time, most of the questions on the test are random facts from the book that were never touched upon. I'm passing the classes, but when it comes to dentistry I still feel like I don't know anything. It just seems like they fill our schedule with all these crazy science classes and sprinkle in a few dentistry related ones. So you end up studying like an madman for the "big" tests and neglect the smaller dental related ones. I'm also only in my second year, so that may have something to do with it. Does anyone else feel this way?
 
First year (and second year at a lot of schools) is like this at EVERY dental school. Get used to it.
