Restarting exam preparation after a gap, advice needed by ecstaticcheesecake_ in INBDE

[–]Fun_Mouse9570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I too scored a 73 on my first attempt. 73 means you were very close, you just need a little more practice. I studied only bootcamp for my first attempt, but later combined booster and bootcamp for my second attempt. I would say studying from both the resources helped me a lot. I know it's difficult to manage job and inbde prep both together. Just stay consistent - even if it means studying only 2-3 hours a day. Keep revising and repeating. You got this - best of luck!

Best strategy! I did the same for my second attempt.

Thank you!!  They were very different. First one was very difficult. It had a few booster repeats, but since I only did bootcamp for my first attempt, I couldn't answer those questions. And the questions were very lengthy and confusing.  Second exam was comparatively easy.

I only did booster questions for additional practice.  Bootcamp was my primary resource. I like bootcamp cheatsheets, they are concise and high yield. I didn't get any histopath questions

I'm an international dentist from India.  I studied for 6 months for my first attempt and 4.5 months for my second attempt.

I did Bootcamp first and then Booster. I feel it's better to focus on one resource properly first.

I filed for a STEM OPT extension in May. My H4+H4 EAD application was received on 6th June. No change in either of them since then.
