Hi there! I took Part II of the ADC exam and was able to pass it after my second try.

I was able to pass the MCQ part in both exams b t fl nked the !AQ on my first. "o sho ld read all books they prescribed written by cawson #s r$ery % patho& and pharma'& as well as the Cariolo$y book. (ind a book on dent mat that isn)t so hard to read as Phillips so yo co ld b ild p well on yo r clinical s b*ects like prostho and resto. I read the one written by crai$. "o may se the +o cher re,iewer #thick bl e book' for the MCQ part since they $et some - estions from there #especially on endo and prostho'. Carran.a is $ood for perio. I fo nd the !AQ part more diffic lt than the MCQ. An ho r is so short to write a comprehensi,e essay abo t / broad topics. I find that they like yo r essay to be in o tline form...expo ndin$ on each en merated item. 0ssay topics from the last exam are the followin$1 #2' mana$ement of a pre$nant patient& #3' mana$ement of a discolored anterior tooth& #/' mana$ement of an apprehensi,e ad lt patient needin$ a s r$ical proced re 4 odontectomy& #5' what to say to the mom of a pedo patient who in- ires abo t the need for s pplemental fl oride when their water s pply is already fl oridated& #6' primary and secondary dent re bearin$ areas...can)t remember the last one. Hope this helps... 7ood l ck $ ys... 8' 9he hard thin$ abo t the !AQs is time mana$ement. 9hey $i,e yo an ho r to expo nd on three essay - estions& most of which are abo t patient mana$ement. 9he - estions are s ally abo t s ch broad topics as mana$in$ a discolored central incisor or the thin$s yo wo ld be disc ssin$ with a diabetic patient re- estin$ for an implant. 9he trick wo ld be to format yo r essay in a way that wo ld enable yo to write as m ch as yo co ld abo t the $i,en s b*ect. 9hat)s at 3: min tes per - estion! !o * st familiari.e yo rself with possible - estions #they lo,e $i,in$ - estions abo t mana$in$ medically compromised patients ;read on cawson)s s r$ book<& esthetic restorations& smokin$ and its effects& fl oride s pplementation' and practice answerin$ essay - estions on a time limit.
