I have passed my national board. I am scheduled to take my clinical exam on Oct 21 for adex but I just took the conputer stimulated exam with prometrics for Adex and I failed that exam. I am scared because if I fail prometrics 3 times then I will have to take my hands on clinical exam again. Do you have any tips for the prometrics exam ? Did you use Andy's rdh or dental tease ? I used that to study for the national board but I haven't heard of dental tease.

[@christinediza7326]

Did you and your classmates purchase the same study material? For my school we were given options. Some of my classmates purchased Student RDH and I purchased Dental Hygiene Seminar. We ended up referencing each other’s material. Some subjects were dense and some subjects were superficial. Same goes for practice questions. Similar but different. I’m grateful we were able to share material and practice each others tests. We all passed in our cohort. But I would like to know for future reference what book is the best for recommendations for future aspiring DH?

[@kaelynnkendrick7381]

I am taking mine next week! Do you feel like the Andy review prepared you for the prometric? I am so nervous!!

[@gwenfarrales]

Omg good luck!! You got this! I only used AndyRDH app and had the studentRDH review bundle. I think that AndyRDH app helped me with answering questions but the studentRDH really helped me with case studies type of questions!

[@xocheenahox]

What part of CT are you in? I’m in Fairfield county

[@dancindebs1]

Thank you. I took the NERBS in 1981. Havent practiced since 2006. Am concerned. I passed Oar boards Ca boards NJ now FL boards. I am nervous. Thank you

[@gwenfarrales]

You got this!!

[@xocheenahox]

I used the same California pine trees from a KZbin Hygiene Made Easy something like that 😅

[@gwenfarrales]

To this day I still remember it because of that 😂😂

[@xocheenahox]

I can’t believe you took it while being in your last semester 😮

[@gwenfarrales]

I knowww! But honestly I’m glad tho because all the information is fresh!! My school’s statistics showed that students who took it later had a higher chance of retaking it. I felt like I was not prepared at all, I don’t think I would have ever felt prepared but I highly recommend you taking it asap!

[@xocheenahox]

@@gwenfarrales yes our professors say not to take it later than august, we graduate in May. I'm planning for late July fingers crossed. You still work in CT?

[@christinediza7326]

I go to University of Hawai’i @ Manoa and our professors recommend us to take it before or during our last semester. I used Dental Hygiene Seminar to study for the NDHBE. I ended up taking ADEX for the clinical performance exam. I just got all 3 of my results just a few days ago and PASSED all😭🤩

[@xocheenahox]

@@christinediza7326 that’s awesome congratulations!!!

[@Bucjo]

Hi ,i want to take.my National Board , but I am based overseas, how do i prepare?. Am.an oversea dentist coming to the usa to wlrk as hygienist. What text do i use . Please help a beginner . Thanks

[@christinediza7326]

I took the NDHBE on 3/23/24. I used Dental Hygiene Seminar and passed. A lot of my classmates purchased Student RDH and also passed. We also used the Andy RDH app for practice tests. There’s lots of practice tests out there to help you build stamina for the amount of questions. Keep in mind Dental Hygiene Seminar and Student RDH are pricey BUT WORTH IT.

[@ArthasKTLD]

Hey thanks for the video. Im thinking of becoming a male RDH from New Zealand. When you graduate from school, can you work in other states? how does that work? thanks

[@gwenfarrales]

Yess you can work in other states! Some states do have more requirements than others. You may need to take extra tests to be licensed in doing nitrous and other things. Depending on the state!

[@ArthasKTLD]

Hey there, I'm a Dental Hygienist here in Jamaica and is preparing to take both ADEX and the National boards to be able to practice in the USA, but I can't seem to find any ADEX study books online to purchase, any recommendations or links?

[@cheyannereynolds8103]

Hello ! Where can I buy that book ? 😅 if you don’t mind sharing

[@gwenfarrales]

I was able to receive mine through my school but I'm pretty sure you can purchase through StudentRDH website!

[@ssweeting1]

How was the first half of the NBDHE for you? I think that part based of scientific bases and biomedical science.

[@gwenfarrales]

Yes it is! The second part are the case studies. Personally, I think that the first half was the hardest compared to case studies! Case studies are something I’ve always been good at cause I tried to imagine as if I actually had a patient.

[@ssweeting1]

@@gwenfarrales how did you prepare for the first half of NBDHE?

[@gwenfarrales]

@@ssweeting1 on my most recent upload, I talked about how I studied for any exams and even for boards!! I even give specific examples on how I personally succeeded and what NOT to do as well :)

[@soph0416]

The NBDHE takes 9 hours?!?! That is so nerve wrecking, do they give you a break lol

[@gwenfarrales]

The long version which what we were given was 9 hours long 😩 and yesss they gave us two 15 mins break and a lunch break which was 30 mins! But that also allow you to take bathroom breaks whenever

[@OhxSnapples]

Congratulations! did you end up selling your book?

So what happens if you don’t pass any of these 3 tests? Congrats btw!!

[@gwenfarrales]

Thank you!! You have 18 months to pass all three test in the state of CT im not sure about other states tbh. If you fail one of them, you’ll have to retake it but like I said you have 18 months to pass all three test.
