Advising-Counseling
A. 1- Hour Advising-Counseling Session: What steps to take to prepare for required exams & how to pay for it all.
Join in on an Advising-Counseling Session to discover steps to take, in what order, and how to access financial resources to help pay for all the expenses that occur between graduation and licensure completion. We will discuss the do's and don'ts of test preparation to completion. We will go into depth about the assessments used to identify strengths and weaknesses in both academic knowledge and case-based skills. Progressive steps will be shared on how to prepare for the required exams in Florida. Expect the session to last about 1 hour and we will conclude the session with Q & A that can extend the time slightly. The Advising-Counseling Session is usually scheduled on Fridays or Saturdays and the cost of the session will be integrated into the future packages purchased from us. If you need concierge scheduling, or want to request a Skype Advising-Counseling Session, please call our office to make those special arrangements.
Knowledge-Based Exam Prep Package
B. Assessment to identify your academic National Board Dental Examination knowledge.
We will assess your weakness and strengths in each subject matter that is included in The National Board Dental Examination Test. We will let you know what subject areas you do know and which you need extra study time. Depending on the results, we will then recommend the subject-specific courses to strengthen your knowledge, to build up your confidence, and to guide you toward other resources to further explain difficult concepts. So this is our passion…to hold your hand each step of the way, to take to the proper path toward your goal and make sure your journey will not include any wrong roads.
CDCA-CSE & NBDHE Practice Tests are online exams giving access to our assessment exam that covers all the subjects covered in NBDHE or CDCA-CSE. The site will ask you to type your first name, last name, email, and to create a password. It will then provide basic info about the test and give you instructions prior to the test starting. For example:
Number of questions: 450
Amount of time available: 500 minutes (8.3 hours)
Pause/Resume is allowed to save and finish later
Keep a tally of mere guesses
One question per page
Multiple Choice/True & False
Once you finish the exam, you and the professors will immediately be able to see your "raw score" results as an overall percentage out of 100%. Do not panic about this number. We will analyze your score per "subject category" and show you where strengths and weakness lye. We will develop a tutoring plan to build any weaknesses into strengths and confidence.
Disclaimer: This exam is only an assessment tool and is in no way an actual measurement of how a candidate will do on the NBDHE. This exam is a combination of previously used exam questions, commonly addressed topics, and an accumulation of multiple board review resources. Results may give insight to subject categories and topics that could benefit from further study.
C. 20 hours of Tutoring in academic content
Pretesting data of identified weakness will guide the selection of subject-specific courses to be strengthened. Tutoring courses will cater to all learning styles by including electronic power-points to support the verbal information along with open discussions for any questions along the way. Our tutoring also consists of advising for the best resources to study from, guiding you toward the most effective books, dental notes, booklets, question banks, software options, where to buy them, and pricing. Additional homework is NOT assigned. We provide summaries of as many areas as possible for easy access to pertinent information. Your knowledge will be expanded beyond facts…it will be developed into application of facts into clinical use and case-based scenarios.
