All About NBDE Part 2
Permalink  
 


Part 2 NBDE consists of subjects of clinical dentistry. In lay man terms, The subjects you study in the third and final year of dental school.

Again, your first step is to become familiar with everything listed in the NBDE Part II Candidate Guide which you can download here. The examination fee for part II is $345. You do not need a new ECE report if you have already taken care of this during Part I.

Part II is also computer-based, administered in Prometric, you can submit a paper application, or register online here. Many other regulations and procedures are similar to Part I. The only difference is the scope of the exam, NBDE Part II tackles the different dental specialties, patient management, and pharmacology.

The exam is administered in two days, day one consists of two 3.5 hours segments, 200 questions each, of discipline-based questions. Day two consists of 100 case-based questions. You will be given several cases with 10-15 questions each.

Preparation for the NBDE exam PART TWO
Permalink  
 


Obviously, a strong and solid background is needed before you tackle any of these exams, being a foreign trained dentist gives you at least a theoretical advantage because chances are that you are familiar with at least some of the subject covered in the NBDE exam, that should be derived from your text books and lecture notes, but you may want to also supplement your preparation efforts with other educational aids, I've used some of the following, but not all, so I can't attest to how effective they are, but I know that the following teaching aids are being used by many foreign trained dentists and other international students in lots of different ways:

 

  1. Released national board dental exams from previous years. (ASDA PAPERS)

    2. First Aid for the NBDE Part 2ir?t=fortradenintd-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0071456376 is a useful guide published by McGraw-Hill , with lots of good reviews, written by students who aced the National Dental Board Exams and reviewed by top dental school faculty and practitioners, include hundreds of high-yield facts and mnemonics to maximize study time, and test-taking strategies and advice.

          3. Dental Decks for PART 2

          4. Another book and useful guide is Mosby Review for NBDE PART 2

          5. Crack the NBDE for the National Board Dental Examination Part 1              (2008 Deluxe Edition)ir?t=fortradenintd-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0017OZF44

          6. The Student Doctor Network Forums provide a wealth of information               about the NBDE and other issues relevant to foreign trained dentists                   or international dental graduates

          7. There is also a book by KAPLAN

NOTE : First Aid, Dental Decks, Released ASDA Papers, and MOSBY are the leading favorites of students who aced their examinations.
