I took the exam last March 8-9 and finally got my results today, thank

God I passed! :) I read Deck, Mosby, did all the ASDA, El Maestro
(really important), MasterQs, Danman, MasterDay2, Pharma Tufts,
rita, xylitol, day2unicorn, naomi osaka, and part 2 jan 29th hope for
the best file that was posted in this group (i had like 200 similar
questions from this file). My remembered questions are mostly copied
from the "jan 29th hope for the best file" thats already posted here. I
suggest to read deck and mosby first just to have a solid
background of information, then focus on question and answer. El
maestro is really really good. I watched a couple of dental mental
videos if I dont feel like reading. And for the last 2 weeks before my
exam, I focused on looking at different pictures for oral pathology and
the remembered questions. You guys can do it too! It's not easy, but
if you focus and study hard, you will pass :)
