Preparation Strategies
Follow a study schedule: It always helps to be disciplined and meticulously follow a study schedule. It prevents candidates from getting distracted from their goal and inspires the motivation to inch closer to the ultimate destination – a passing mark! INBDE Booster has a great eight-week study schedule that can be followed to channel preparation in the right direction. Some candidates might want to study extra for a few more months to gain confidence. It will certainly not hurt. Just make sure to avoid studying for more than 5-6 months, as it will cause you to burn out otherwise.
Use the right study resources: With so many apps and online resources on the market, candidates often find it challenging to make the right studying choice. Thankfully, narrowing down on resources combined with a focused approach will help you ace the INBDE. INBDE Booster has palpated the need of dental students. It has created an excellent online resource that consists of thousands of practice questions, study notes, flashcards, video solutions, and robust customer support. Additionally, you can refer to your dental school notes, recommended articles, and textbooks when finer details need to be clarified. Lastly, the American Dental Association (ADA) has provided sample questions for the INBDE on its website. They are a must-do to get familiar with the actual exam content.
Read, Recite, and Repeat: Our short-term memory cannot accommodate bigger chunks of information for prolonged periods, but our long-term memory is a fantastic storehouse of information and can be actively recalled when needed. An effective way to study is to read the topics once and then actively recite them a few days apart until they stick. Repeat what you read a few days ago, and formulate your own questions if you can. ‘Spaced repetition,’ as many researchers call it, goes a long way in understanding theoretical concepts and remembering them for a long time.
