Hi,

Has anyone received confirmation for the UCLA March exam? The application process is really very confusing.:confused:

I also noticed that the WREB thread started earlier was nowhere to be found!

i am still looking for some references to study, but everyone i know said that big book blocks are not necessary for this exam. at the same time no body knows where to get notes from. i'v seen some people offering notes for 40 or 70 $ but these probably the same notes from Duggon and UCLA( which i am taking next month) courses. either way, i will be offering them free when i take the course to anybody in need.
back to the point,i am hoping some good people will post something here later on. in the mean time. to everyone read this please take few seconds and rate the thread because it is the only way we can keep this thread up in the list .
the rating is located in the top right. it take 2 seconds just click on rate your thread and make a selection.

i will be in UCLA exam still not sure because they didn't send me a confirmation letter yet.

don't worry, we will keep this going as long as people trying to help out.
just keep posting.
i think the best way to start is read the werb exam guide. so we know exactly what to look for.
UCLA course mention some books to study from them but they are very expensive books and too big to go through before the exam. i will list them anyway just in case someone would like to know what Dr Stevenson references are.
the art and science of operative dentistry by sturdevant
clinical periodontology by carranza
pathways to the pulp by cohen and burns
textbook of complete dentures by hartwell
removable partial denture design: outline syllabus by krol
the branemark implant system

if you buy them just try to get the latest editions if they are still in print
i find it very hard to even dive in these books.i guess i am a cognitive miser( try to find short cuts); well who dos't?

i am planning to extract my own teeth so i can have some natural teeth for this exam (just kidding)

From what I gathered going through past threads related to WREB, Part 2 dental decks, and the candidate guide are the best places to review from.Personally I think the text books are so vast that it's difficult to study them in so short a period. I have Cal Board study material from Duggan and Stevenson and was wondering if it's the same as WREB review material. Can anyone shed light on this?

i have heard that there are a pit different especially the exams had different topics. But this can be a good start for either exam. if you get to have both notes from Wreb and the clinical this could enhance your knowledge and secure passing in either one.
i am still waiting for these notes and i can't give my final word on them tell i read them all
i have a question too. anyone knows anything about the Ethic exam. is there any booklet to study from?

I took WREB last year.
Reading the candidate guide thoroughly is very important. Answers most questions you may have about the exam.
From personal experience for CSW I read the text books -not each and every chapter but the most important ones.

Hi,

I just got an email from WREB stating that I am 8th on waitlist for the UCLA exam . I am thinking of withdrawing my application. I'll appreciate any advice from you all. Am I taking the right step?:confused:

Thanks.

i am not 100% sure but they mention something about fee 3 or 5 %. just make sure you don't lose 150 to 200 dollars.
it would be better to wait for a month or so before you withdraw. you would never know how this go.
you made me nervous too because i registered for this one too and still not sure if i am in or not. when did you apply?
good luck anyway

Oh %$&*&^#%@
got the notorious email. the worst day ever. tried to call these people at the wreb and after many, many VM and Calls.......Nothing important.

the worst thing if you stay in this Wait list and you don't get selected they will refund you the money nothing more. by that time, all exams will be filled and keep waiting. or the other option is applying for multiple sites but you have to have enough money to throw 2000 on every submission. what the hell. i am thinking of applying to the clinical just in case these things go bad.

:scared:
Can't think of anything else now.

I have applied to the June UoP exam online the evening it opened and sent the required documents which reached on 4th. I haven't heard from WREB apart from the fact that they have begun processing applications. Inspite of the large number of exams, I wonder if I was too late. Anyone receive confirmation for the same exam yet?

back again.
after asking the wreb what to do after i was put in the wait list. they said to keep applying to different sites. DO THEY THINK WE ARE RICH BASTARD ALREADY?
my god. it is almost 2000$ for every time .
so i called the credit card company begged for an increase and applied again.

i was put in The USC wait list now. i feel so frustrated. after all this money; i am unable to find if this will get me in.
it is very hard to concentrate on studying and finding patients and teeth in conditions like that.

by the way i will try to move the thread to the DENTAL section so we can have more people viewing it.
it looks like people not very interested in this section.
hopefully it ll work
peace

hm1125 - have you used this agency?? Has anyone else used the services from this agency? Please let us know about any experiences.

i called this agency before. they are rip off. they are asking for 6500 just for getting the patients. they offer patients with a back ups and some other small stuff. i don't know if this number is the average charges but in any case i will never be able to afford this heavy price. if you ask to have an assistant the number will jump to 8000 and more if you need them to travel.

Caution for people taking WREB
I want to advise people not to take WREB I think best to take cal board than WREB. I am disappointed with WREB. I passed cal board.
ADVANTAGES of WREB
1)No bridge cutting
2)Too much time to finish exams
3)Very good candidate guide
4)Examiners are nice (?????)
DISADVANTAGES OF WREB
1)It is hard to score more than 80% ( req.. For California licence )
I have not heard anybody scoring more than 85 the most.
2)High rejection of patients
3)Heavy penalty for every small thing ( modification denied, deficient margin)
4)Very little time for endo ( maximum failures)
5)Too many students with 1 xray machine- developer
6)Never succeed in appeal process
7)Computer based prostho is very hard sp. For foreign trained dentist
8)Always too crowded with many applicants
9)Loose your a lot money on cancellation
10)Long wait list – not sure if u will take exam
U NEED TO TAKE DECISION
BYE
