National Boards Dental Examination Part I

I appeared in NBDE Part 1 in June 2014. But I have my juniors appearing in this exam so they have been asking for guidance and I have been updated about it.


The first and the foremost thing to go through is National Board Dental Examination, Part 1 2017 Guide.


It includes details on examination content and exam preparation material

For released items www.asdanet.org link is given in it.

  • Kaplan videos (recommended for Neuro if required)

Preparation guide
Books under the heading of strongly recommended are enough to pass the exam. Still if anyone can’t figure out any specific topic or needs detail as these books are review books then may refer to lecture videos or USMLE step 1 book or discuss with those friends appearing in steps.
