Failed DOH/HAAD General Dentist exam twice, how to best prepare?
The third attempt for the DOH(Department of Health) Abu Dhabi exam can be very critical. If you don't use the right strategy then you may lose this critical chance, but with the right strategy you can pass this exam.
- Analyze your mistakes: Since you have already given this exam twice so instead of starting everything from the start, it's a good strategy to analyze your mistakes which you may have already made. Seperate your weak areas and focus on them while preparing this time.
- Focus on High-Yield Topics: There are some topics such as Restorative Dentistry (25%), Oral Medicine & Surgery (20%), Endodontics (15%), Periodontics (15%) which have more weightage during actual exam. You should focus more on these areas.
- Use Qbank by Interface Medical Education: This General Dentist Qbank will help you practice more with high yield MCQs with explanations, not just answers and concentrate on your weak areas.
- Master Exam Techniques: As you are attempting this exam third time, you should consider using some exam techniques beside your knowledge.
- Time Management: This can save you from many troubles. Since you have 180 minutes for 150 MCQs, which means that you have about 1.2 minute for each MCQ. Therefore, spend time on each MCQ wisely.
- Elimination Process: Usually about 1 to 2 answer choices are clearly wrong, try to narrow down fast.
- Good Guess: Since there is no Negative marking, if you not sure about any MCQ then mark it using your good guess and avoid getting stuck on it.
- Scenario-Based MCQs: Concentrate on the wording of the MCQ in the end like 'First step / best next step'. Answer what's safest for the patient, not just theoretically correct.
- Exam Day Strategies: Wisely using such strategies can hugely impact the outcome of your test result.
- Try to attempt all MCQs, even with using good guess approach.
- Sleep well night before your test and have a balanced diet.
- Carely read the MCQ. Look for keywords such 'except' or 'most appropriate' in the MCQ.
- Avoid anxiety because this can cost you more than your knowledge gaps.
