Dental decks is not enough,its bull**** to think so.

Hi

Thanks a lot for everyone.I have one question. could u tell me wht is this crack the exam questions and from where can i get them?






Depends on what you are looking out for,i would recommend doing basics from usmle lecture notes esp for physio ,biochem and micro,well if you can get the videos nothing like it.For Anatomy Achland videos are really good .
If you add for reference some topics from guyton eg endocrine,excretory.
collagen from lippencort.BRS series esp anatomy is good for reference.
DA wheelers and okeson 130pages are more than enough.
I did this only,cracked exams and got my admission
Hope it helps
Good Luck

A friend who has joined the kaplan institute tells me the nbde videos are condensed videos 10 hrs per subject,taught by dentists,Imagine biochemistry taught by dentists,WASTE of time,SAD
I put her onto Usmle videos and Lecture notes,She likes the way Usml videos function from the basic.
People always ask me that"Are not usml portions too much",MY answer is always NO,look at the syallabus,study that completely,kaplan does not set nbde part 1 exam papers ,ITS JUST a tutorial,How we make use,what we study? is up to us.We should know every word from the basics there is no prescribed book,Go with your syllabus add videos and books along your way.Getting a 90 plus is tough ,with no retakes ,take no chances.
Being a dentist in USA is a honour and a previlage.Little hard work goes a long way.This is only the beginning, Dental school is Real Hard work whether its undergrad or [Grad school]Post doctural prog,you hardly get sleep.I can see the dark circles under my tired eyes.

Studying for nbde part 1 was a cake walk .lol

Good Luck

I think it's better to start with Kaplan and read it together with dental decks. after each subject do questions. Good luck to all of us!:luck:

Hi, I've been following this thread for 2 yrs now and nobody else has reported any excellent Pt 1 results after using this system of Redroulette's... Let's start finding out some results here people? Is this advice worth it or should we stick with what's tried tested and proven? ie. The decks and Kaplan!

inquiring minds want to know!

Sorry to hear that, from your post its clear that you have not used the old exams. its very important to solve as many questions as you can weather its part 1 or part 2. to me it was really helpful :)

Good luck and don't give up :):)

Has anybody used Redroulette's study advice? He claims that using the USMLE dvds can really boost your scores... Anybody tried these DVDs? Please share your stats so we can all benefit... thank you.
