First I read the decks. Then I give the old tests to see how is the exam actually. Then 2 months I take break and read Qur'an. I made reschedule so I not show my right I.D. I read again the decks, and gave test with presence of great Allah and...WE GO...99!!!

Great success!!! Congrats on your scores!

I just did the decks and the old tests but I got a 71. The only section I passed was dental anatomy.

Did the qur'an help that much? What study guide is this and where can I get it from. Is it expensive? are you selling your old one? Thanks.

Quran is a Holy book rather than a prep. material for NBDE:)

any way, for those who scored 90+, did you review the whole materila after your first reading or just concentrate on doing exams?
i am almost done with my first reading and unsure whether to go again over the material+ donig exams once OR just concentrate on doing exams for twice or even 3 times

i still have 3 weeks to go prior to the exam

i just took the exam yesterday. i thought it was difficult and i don't feel that i passed. i used 2006 dental decks and first aid nbde and felt that they fell short of the detail needed to do well. i would highly recommend supplementing these resources with something more. did anyone else feel as if they failed and yet passed??

One other note: DO ALL THE PRACTICE EXAMS at least twice--you will be happy you did.

Just got my score.
raw: 341
comp:93

When I saw my score, i can't help bursting into tears.
I spent almost 4 months on it, and i felt so rewarding.

Hope all you guys get a high score.

actually i don't have a lot to say.
i used first aid as my primary material, then dental deck (but i didn't depend on it much), the released papers as well.
i think your education background is very important, because the exam does cover a very wide range, and you can't review them all in such a short period of time, say several months to half a year.

I was just wondering what the numbers in () were? Any help on this would be appreciated.


overall: 88 or 322/400
anat sci: 80 (64.6)
biochem/physio: 79 (60.4)
micro/path: 79 (65)
DA/occ: 84 (73.4)

Thanks for getting that cleared up for me.

I was looking at scores and have kind of figured that the raw scores 350=90, 300=85, 250=80, and 200=75.

What do you guys think? Is this pretty close, or does it vary?

Hey guys.. do yall know if the Kaplan Lecture notes have been updated recently? I don't want to have to buy them from Kaplan b/c you have to buy the course and it's like $300 and a friend from school gave me his old Kaplan review book for Part I (I believe it's from 2006 or so.. it has a white cover with a blue tooth on it?!?!?!). I'm hoping to just use this along with First Aid USMLE for Biochem, Micro, and Path references and then decks? Please let me know what you think about this. Thanks so much and good luck to all!

I think you should definitely retake. You have a great GPA but you need a Part I score at least in the mid-to upper 80's. My opinion is to retake Part I and then study for Part II as you still have the information for Part I fresh in your memory.
Good luck!

hey jawz,

i took mine on april 23 and i haven't received my scores yet. i've heard some say that they come in at about 2 weeks while others say 3 weeks. i'm hoping they come in today. if so, i will be posting my raw score and the calculated score (pass or fail), for all to see even though i don't believe i did very well.

i think it helps viewers of this forum to see the full range of scores so we know what is passing and what is not.

hopefully we get the scores we're looking for. g'luck!

I think my scores got lost in the mail or something. I called ADA to see if they had been mailed yet and they said there were mailed on May 7. It's been a full week and i havent gotten them yet. This is killing me!! ADA won't tell me if I passed or not. Anyone else having this problem??

Yeah, I passed!!:thumbup:

Ok, so here are my scores.

comp score: 80

(subject:my score:natl mean)

anatomy: 64: 64.6
biochem/phys: 65 : 60.4
Micro/Path: 68 : 65
DA: 73 : 73.4

For all those who are reading this and preparing to take the exam. I thought for sure I failed this. It's easy to get discouraged when you have a stream of questions that you aren't sure of the answer. So, even if you think you failed it, you probably didn't. If I were to take it again (which I won't!) I would pay more attention to old tests. In fact, I'd probably do each of them twice. Good luck fellow students!

ps. Thanks huggies for your encouragement!

Can anybody who already took the new format test let me know, how close your real score compared to the scores that you got when you were practicing those old released papers?.... saying like the 80's papers, almost 20 years old already. :confused: I really want to know where I am at right now.Thanks a lot!

Oh~ your score is pretty nice! I think you dont hv to retake, but take part2 instead. I know some of school require Toefl> 100, but that's probably fine, you can retake it after getting admission.

Can anybody kindly let me know how close the scores you estimated in your practice with the old papers compared to the score you got in the real exam?
Also, is there any kind of simulated test disc available that I can use to have a feeling with such a computer-based test?

yes you can. there is something called crack the nbde available that gives you 3 practice tests.

also i need to confirm something I read. your raw score is not the number of questions you get right. you need to get 50-55 questions right in a section to get a raw score of 75. can somebody confirm this please.

your "raw" score IS the representative of the number of questions you got right. So if you get 55 questions right on each section, that should give you an overall passing mark of 75.

hey bluebonnet, i found the scores i was getting on the practice tests were on par with what i got on the real deal. however, i thought the da section was a tad easier than past exams. in my opinion, either way the practice exams give a nice indicator of how you will do on the real thing. g'luck!

How did you review 1week before your exam, what materials did you use?

Hey,
Why did you use the USMILE first aid instead of the NBDE first aid?

Count Orlok said:
I studied from the Kaplan lecture notes, USMLE first aid, and my own personal notes from the past year and a half in school. I didn't use the decks because I thought they were weak in a lot of areas and incomplete/nonexistant in many others. Lets put it this way, everybody studies the decks and not everybody kills the exam. I studied for 3 weeks or so for about 18 hours a day. Hope this helps.
