    Pretty good4
    This book helped me study for the NBDE. It presents a very concise outline of the material on the exam with some helpful mnemonics and diagrams. Most every page has one or two notes in the margins with facts needed to answer released NBDE questions.

    The content covered by the book seemed to coincide pretty well with about 75% of the exam. However, this book is probably best used as an outline to remind you of the important topics. If there are topics that you don't remember well you may need to look them up in a more comprehensive book. This is especially true if you want to ace the test.

    This first edition was a little rough with a lot of typographical error, but on the plus side the factual content seemed accurate. The dental anatomy section provided a lot of help, especially a simple way to remember eruption times, but I would say that it was very incomplete. You will need additional dental anatomy study materials.

    All in all this book was worth the price in terms of the amount of help it provided me.

    Excellent resource5
    First Aid for the NBDE part 1 is at the top of my list when it comes to study aides for the national boards. The guide covers all aspects of the exam, as well as includes figures and diagrams referenced from other commonly used textbooks that are vital for success on the exam. The organization is its best feature, whereas the outlined format is easy to follow. As for the text, it is very concise, yet explains well enough the intricate detail of each topic that one may be hard-pressed to spend time reading through other reference materials. A MUST HAVE for any dental student seeking success on the NBDE part 1....

    OK for a comprehensive review4
    Since there are not many comprehensive NBDE Part 1 review books out there, this book is good for providing an outline on what to study. You definitely need to look up more information to fully learn the material, as some subjects are only touched on, and some information is left out. There are some annoying things: a good amount of typos, and the writers tend to use their own acronyms without explaining what they are. It's almost like you're reading someone's notes from class that made sense to the person who took the notes, but not to you.
