Are you wanting to know where your academic strengths and weaknesses lie before you take the National Board Dental Hygiene Exam (NBDHE) or the CDCA Computer Simulated Exam? Our NBDHE and CDCA CSE practice tests will provide a set of questions that will mimic the official tests so you will be better prepared for the exams you will be facing and determine your areas of strengths and weaknesses. Going through this process you will have the advantage of practicing your test taking skills and find out the specific subject areas you need to improve. An addditional benefit would be that you can use the tests as resources for further study.
The results you will be obtaining will show an overall raw score displayed through points and percentages. Correct answers are also displayed to you in your immediate results! The example below shows a follow-up email providing the results breakdown of each subject category, how you ranked in each, and recommendations for further strengthening.

How to Start
Once purchased, you will be sent the link allowing you to have access to the practice test. 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
We do recommend taking the assessment exam in an area where you can find solitude from interruptions. On a separate piece of paper, keep track of the questions that you merely guessed the answer. We will ask you for an emailed copy of your guesses so we help identify the accuracy of your guessing ability. See example below:
Talley of Mere Guesses for Jon Doe Question #'s 3, 10,11, 21, 23, 29, 35, 38, 52,..... |
Once you finish the online exam, only you and the assigned professor 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 email you to show you where strengths and weakness lie. We will help you develop a tutoring plan to build any weaknesses into strengths and confidence.

Understanding the Grading Scale- Standard Score vs. Raw Score
We do want to provide you with some basic information about the grading scale that is use on the actual NBDHE. A "standard score" of 75 is used as a passing score for the National Board Dental Hygiene Examination. This is not a "raw score". This means that a candidate does not need to correctly answer 75% of all the questions to pass the examination. The number of correct answers required is determined by the conversion scale which converts an average raw score of approximately 58-61% of the questions answered correctly to give you a standard score of a 75 on the Dental Hygiene National Board!
Disclaimer: These online exams are only assessment tools and is in no way an actual measurement of how a candidate will do on the NBDHE or CSE. 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.
