I Fialed it once, and it wasn't a good experience. I left a decay in my amalgam prep and for that I lost alot of points.

I took it in April and passed with an 87. My best advice is plan ahead as much as you can. I got input on my patient selection from the faculty of the various departments. Also, use caries detect when prepping. Make absolutely sure there is nothing in the prep that is stained or decalcified (decalcified spots don't always stain well with caries detect). It is demoralizing after failing once. Don't give up. You can do it. They really are not out to trick you or make you fail.

I failed once and then passed the second time. Use Caries Indicator Dye. I had never used it until the exam and it is a life safer. the second time i had the tinest spot of decay left and would never have know if it werent for the dye. dont get any pink slips and you should be fine. Get as many points as possible on easy stuff like the written and perio. Definately have an assistant. Know the manual inside out. Thats it
