So there are so many portions of the board exam that I don't even know what part I am taking this weekend. I just pay, show up, and pray that I pass. This year our school is the guinea pig school. We are the first set of 3rd year students to take the practical portion. So who knows how it will go. Usually these boards are on a saturday but because the 4th years are taking them saturday we have to take them Sunday. crappy. We had practice boards a couple weekends ago, again, on a Sunday. Basically I failed. But I only failed about one criteria on each tooth, so now that all of those thing have been brought to my attention hopefully I will pass. The third years have more recent experience working on plastic teeth, which are a lot different from real teeth but the fourth years have more experience doing crown preps so they really are at an advantage. Anyone can cut a plastic tooth if they are experienced and skilled, like the fourth years. But we just don't have the clinical experience yet to have proficient skills.
Anyways, its stressful, it ruins my weekend, and if I fail I have to pay another $1000 to retake it. Sometimes dentistry sucks.
