few things which you can start while preparing for the exam
01 . ece
02 tofel
03 LOR
04 transcripts
05 personal statement
06 work exp certificates or letters


These are few things which you can keep it ready , so that as soon as your exam is done you dnt waste your time figuring out what to do next .

THIS IS NOT AN END OF LIFE

HI
There are many ppl I know who are very depressed and feel left out in this country while chasing this dream but let me tell you something ,pls pls pls come out of all this and just try to focus on your studies at ur best and for restof the process, u have to wait .There are ppl even after getting 90+ are still waiting for interview calls and there are ppl whom i know personaly have gotten admission ith 84 also .It all depends , what we can do is ,,give our best shot and if it still doesnt work out there other options like , masters , reseach , dental hygenist , dental assistantship to keep in touch with our field .


So cheer up guys n gals

i forgot to mention abt the biochem textbook ,,trust me i hated this subject

hmm anyways
i followed lehninger

hi

as i had mentioned earlier that i followed few textbooks for subjects , i would like to share the names and how i got them



NAME OF THE TEXTBOOK SUBJECT

TEXTBOOK OF ANATOMY AND PH-
YSIOLOGY - MARTINI ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY


ROBINS PATHOLOGY


TEXTBOOK OF MICROBIOLOGY
BY LAURIE MICROBIOLOGY


OKESON , NEW WHEELERS DENTAL

B D CHURASIA DENTAL ANATOMY

I B SINGH EMBRYOLOGY



i b singh , bdc , wheelers i had gotten from india , rest all the books i purchased from amazon ,you can follow the textbook of your prefrence ,no harm in it ,i used them coz of my poor basics knowledge in all the subjects .besides from all these textbooks i follwed mcq books like

RUDMAN
GARD
FRIST AID Q AND A
AND FEW OTHERS TOO
KAPLAN Q BANK

I wnated to as many mcqs as possible coz i dnt think ppl who are used to writting essays and short notes are too good with mcqs . Most of us can write an essay but if the same question is asked based on mcq format , we will get puzzled up , so i just wanted to overcome that barrier .

Another big hurdle for me was sitting in front of computer for 8 hours , i used to get tired within 3 hours , so i purchased crack the nbde , for me it really worked out


let me know if u have anymore questions


regards

hi

Most of us dont know where and how to start the preparation for Nbde part 1 .People like me , who graduated in 2006 from India ,had forgotten most of 1st and 2 nd year of dental school , I had to start from the begining .When I appeared for the exam first time , I had read only Kaplan review book and did Decks only once ,result I had to take my exam again .I had to clear my basics before reappearing for the exam , Kaplan offers a review book only , which personally I didnt like it but I know lot of my friends had liked it and are in dental school now .I for some reason wanted to go back to textbooks atleast once but unfortunately I cudnt bring my old textbooks with me from India .Some how I managed to get hold of few books and reappeared for the exam . I want to share with everyone about my study plan .... so here it goes


wheather you are working , studying for some other course or parenting , we all need to have one thing in mind is there is no shortcut to success EVERYBODY HAS TO STRUGGLE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER TO ACHIEVE WHAT THEY WANT .....

1. Start with the subject of your choice , you can read from which ever textbooks or review books you like , i started with dental ,,, i followed orbans , okeson , wheelers ,consice dental anatomy ,decks and asda papers .Take your time to be thorough with what you have study , just dont do mechnical studied , it will lead you no where .Always revise , its the key to success .

2. Likewise do all the subjects thoroughly , make notes whenever needed , as this will be great help before your exam .

3.One subject might take 1 month another might take 3 months , dont worry , clear your doubts and keep going but always have the dealines of your prefred schools in your mind .

4.I might take 1 year to study another person might take 3 months to study , it all depends on the situtations you try to study in . So dont bother about others , do your job first .

5.I would suggest that before you schedule your exam , please take 1 mock exam , to see where you stand .You might need somemore prep time or you might be just ready for the exam .

6.Methodology........................... Study from textbooks or KRB >DECKS >SELF NOTES>ASDA PAPERS >MCQs as many as possible like GARD /RUDMAN >LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST MOCK EXAM LIKE CRACK THE NBDE .

7.Study max for 6 to 8 hours not more than that , dont stress out yourself .

HAPPY STUDYING

I will be writting more about the textbooks i used ,,,,later

Hi
We all have dreams about various aspects of life let it be studies , work ,relationship etc .The only difference with pepole just dreaming daily and pepole who achieve what they want according to me "is strong determined mind set up " as how to get to the goal .Here I will be focusing more on NBDE ,exam which all the DDS aspirant have to take to get into US dental school .I would like to share my journey with you all and at the same time would like to provide guidence for all those who wants to do DDS but dont know where to start from .So lets gear up guys and gals towards our endless but yet the most fruitful ordeal .
