Leave a Review NBDE I Dental Boards Mastery
Best resource, by far, for the NBDE Part 1
I started studying for the NBDE by using the dental decks, and the material was way too dense. I also noticed each flashcard had way too much detail and was overwhelming.
I switched to using this app as my main study tool and made sure I was able to put every flashcard “in the green” by the time I took my boards. It was the best resource that provided the highest yielding information in a straightforward (and dare I say, fun?) manner. Plus, it is super-convenient to study at any time, even if you have a few extra minutes when you are waiting in line, sitting on a bus, etc.
I just found out I passed my boards, and I know using this app was a major factor. Thank you so much! I will certainly be downloading your Part 2 app when it’s my time to take it!Show lessBexter131
Great for reviewing!
I am only 75 questions in. However, so far it's proven to be a useful supplementary tool for studying. I like the explanations given after every question, and the mnemonics help a lot!CRAD88
Great study aid on the go and with boards coming right up!
I bought this app with one month to prepare for NBDE Part I and studied with this app every day. The content is great in that it focuses on high-yield material that reduces the need to to go through a plethora of comprehensive textbooks and study aids. The questions come with great explanations and pictures as well. Well worth the $50 and the double money back guarantee shows how much credibility and confidence this app carries with it.
The statistics and categorization of your performance is definitely handy as well since it can tell you where you need to focus your efforts on so that you can improve on that section of the NBDE Part I which will also translate to the greatest increase in probability of success on NBDE Part I.
I used this app on the iPad and it works wonders as I like the bigger screen along with the mobility to view and carry the questions and material around with me.
If anything, sometimes the questions wouldn't appear while going through the practice questions and so only the answer choices appeared. I had to reset the app and sometimes the iPad itself to correct the issue.
Other than that, a wonderful app if you are looking for practice questions, quizzes, and mnemonics for the most important concepts covered on NBDE Part I.Show lessCqn82691
Worthy Investment
I never write reviews, but this app is deserving. Prepping for NBDE 1 this summer, and let's face it, a lot of the material is pretty miserable - not "hard", but so nit-picky, rewarding rote memorization over critical thinking. But that's the game, and since we have to play it, let's find a better way. This app is a more enjoyable way to study. I found the dental decks to be awful - they have mistakes, and you have to sort through a labyrinth of corrections on their website to correct them (waste of time and effort). Also they present too much info per card which I think is counterintuitive. I will probably continue to use the decks in some capacity as well as other sources, but this app is a wonderful supplement. It's convenience alone is worth the price as you can look over stuff when you're on the go. These guys have done a great job of succinctly presenting the core concepts in a way that promotes retention. I think most of us use our mobile devices so frequently that our brains are conditioned to respond better to this medium, and this app reinforces that because I feel like the material is "sticking" more since using this to study. Go for it, at $50 this is a great value.Show lessPep8222
Great App!
This app is amazing! Totally worth the money. The information provided through the flash cards is concise and it allows you to separate the information into questions that you know and those that you don't, making it a lot easier to identify your weak areas. Their costumer service is outstanding!
I just got my results and I passed the board after having failed it twice before. I just used this app and the first aid book. And I feel this app helped me tremendously. I bought the dental decks and did not even used them because this apps is so much better. It is a lot more convenient because you can study whenever you want, you just need your cell phone, and the information is a lot more concise, which allows you to spend time studying the concepts that really matter. I would recommend it to everybody. You won't regret spending the money.Show lessnacrisasca

Of all the NBDE prep apps this is the best. I was skeptical about the claim of pass or money back but they have taken time to make an excellent resource money well spentCusptips
Overall a great experience
I think this app is well designed, easy to use, and has a lot of great material. The customer service is amazing. I had some feedback/suggestions for them directly, and they responded quickly and thoroughly. One of my concerns was with the possibility of incorrect answers, they informed me they have hired professors and dental professionals to reread all of the questions over several times to ensure all info is accurate. They told me an update is coming soon to implement any corrections, as well as continual updates over time to improve features and content. I think that over time this app will be flawless. The developers seem pretty committed and really take into account what the students like us are saying to improve the app. Overall I'd recommended it.
UPDATE July '13: the new version is pretty awesome and I didn't find any mistakes. I just recently took and passed my boards, and this app was a big help. I liked it better than the decks bc you can use it with your phone anywhere, and the explanations are way more concise and to the point than the decks. I saw a lot of material here that was very similar to what was on the test. Honestly, if I had to do it over I probably would've skipped the decks and used just the app. I'm confident I would've passed. Good luck to all you guys on the exam!Show lessSummerofGiantsBaseball
Great app, even better developers
UPDATE: app works again and no hidden fees. Their customer service is great. They listen to feedback and are always updating the app and making corrections. 👍👍 I'm thoroughly impressed with their dedication to this app and its users.
Version 2.0: My boards are 2 weeks out. I've been using the app and enjoying it. Now they put out an update that LIMITS an app I paid $30 for? It locks me out of subjects I need to study and forces me to study ones I've already covered. It requires another in app purchase after purchasing the full app, yet doesn't specify how,why, or the cost. This is a horrible way to treat paying customers.Show lessAmeenRS
