I keep seeing INBDE come up in every study guide and practice test for INBDE - Integrated National Board Dental Exam.
How heavily does it actually appear on the real exam? I've done about 5 full practice tests now and it shows up constantly, which makes me think it's a high-weight topic — but I want to confirm before I go deep on it.
What I've noticed: the questions on "INBDE" in the practice tests are mostly conceptual, but occasionally they throw in these weird scenario questions where you have to apply the concept in an unusual situation. Those trip me up.
I'm also looking at "INBDE - Integrated National Board Dental Exam" as supplemental material. Is it worth going through that in detail or is the practice test approach enough?
Genuinely curious what percentage of the INBDE exam is dedicated to this area.
Quick data point: I spent 4 weeks studying, 2-2 hours a day, and passed with a 82%.
The section on INBDE exam took me the longest to feel confident about. Eventually I just drilled practice questions until I could answer them without hesitation.
What testing center did you end up booking? Some of them have much shorter wait times than others right now.
