If you fail it, then you can re-take. but remember you are only allowed 3 times before having to wait a whole year to retest.
if you pass it, then you keep your latest score which could be as easy as you scoring a 75/76 or 88/89. i would seriously re-consider re-taking it unless this score of 83 really hinders you from future considerations.
 
go in for a re-take if u r confident...with a positive attitude any thing is possible...i had score 81 in my first attempt(gave it last yr)...even i was in a doubt whether i should re-take or no...i jus sat down and focussed and studied with a positive attitude...and volla...i jumped from 81 to 87...be positive and don stress out...
 
:love:Thnx guys for the support,but do u think i can take the test and only answer 10 tests(because I'm afraid if I do more I pass),is it legal.wouldnt they stop me from retakin it?because I dont wanna take the risk,although i like to go and try the test once again,because last time i took it was 2 yrs ago.So let me know if I'm legally allowed to do so and the consequences of such a act wont bring me down,pls let me know?

During working side movement of mandible , oblique ridge passes through distofacial sulcus and the distofacial cusp through the distobuccal groove.
Please correct if its wrong and help me in this concept :)

I think it went well :) but i did few mistakes which i should have not.
I will suggest--
Never change your answers at last moment, follow your first instinct.
Just stick to basics, do ASDA papers , decks, very well.
Lots of questions were from occlusion-mediotrusive, laterotrusive and all, so do it carefully and don't rush.
Some questions were really tricky and some were very straight forward.
Just be clear with the basics and it will be fine. All the best for your preparation.

Really scared about my result.. Lets see what God has in store for me :)

gas gangrene causing organisms are mostly clostridium perfringes.its anaerobic and the exotoxin (alpha toxin) released causes tissue damage and this organism survives in dead tissue(saprophytic) causing gas gangrene...
hope this helps

hey thankx appu, i will study for 3 months and give it my best shot. hope for the best. thanks for guiding me.
and all the best for you too
 
Same thing happened with me.In my exam there was not a single question from topic which i have not done but i was confused in everything.I think either i was not clear with my concepts or didnt revised those topics nicely.....so this time i will give more stress on revising rather than doing new topics and studying different books.....and i totally agree with u on this that we should clear all our basics first ....So all the best to all retakers and this time we have to ace the exam.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

hi jaskiran i am agree with you but i wanna to clear the basics as this was my problem in the first try but i don't know from which source i can get them in a short time
