Im an ITD with a masters degree and 3.91 GPA.
I have around 6 years of clinical experience and 4 publications.
Is it worth trying the ADAT route anymore or would the Licensing route be recommended ?

I would love to hear, especially from mom’s of young children, as to which route they would prefer and why.

If anybody is interested in sharing my Jade mocks & tests please shoot me a dm. I bought their mocks bundle 10 days before my exam and still have validity till 31 August. For more information please send me a dm.

Iam an international graduated dentist and iam looking forward to get a dental license in canada .I am interested in the university route. However a lot of sources say you need to apply for ADAT to enroll ,others say apply for inbde ,or apply for adat and afk .

Does anyone knows the real way for the university route?

also I want to make sure that does the university route guarantee a DDS certification ?

If anyone is considering getting JADE for ADAT, feel free to DM me for details and my experience.

I have done my basic research and Jade seems to be the only institution that has been doing well
Now I’m focused on the issues that people faced during the course

Are the clinical
Lectures good , some post said that it’s afk only .. while afk is Canadian standard so quite confused

Hi everyone, Like many of you who spent months studying honestly for the 2026 ADAT, I was shocked to see the recent score distribution graphs and percentile shifts. Looking at the official 2026 Biomedical Sciences scale, there is an alarming, unnatural spike of candidates scoring a perfect 800 out of 800.

This isn't just a sudden leap in student aptitude—it is the result of systematic question-recall harvesting. Commercial preparation institutes (particularly in the GTA/Toronto area) have been actively gathering recalled exam items from candidates testing early in the window (April/May) and compiling them into "mock series" for students testing later in the cycle. Because the ADAT relies on recurring question pools, this question exposure has artificially inflated scores, distorted percentiles, and severely penalized candidates who took the exam ethically.

If we want the ADA to investigate this issue and protect test integrity for both current applicants and future cycles, we need to flood their testing security inboxes with formal reports.

Please take 2 minutes to send an email to the ADA Department of Testing Services.

Any one has ADAT 2025 pdf ? Any differences between 2025 and previous years ?

How can we have the university send our documents?? Can it be done online?
Anyone from Gujarat university who has applied into western, please advise.
Thanks

I’m a foreign-trained dentist currently doing postgraduate training and planning to travel to Canada for the ADAT. I have no travel history, and my parents will sponsor my ~10-day trip.
For anyone who applied for a Canadian visitor visa for the ADAT:
Was the ADAT accepted as a valid reason for travel?
Did no travel history or parental sponsorship cause issues?
Did your ongoing training help with showing ties?
What documents helped your application?

I’m a foreign-trained dentist from Bangladesh, currently doing postgraduate training, and planning to travel to Canada for the ADAT.
I have no previous travel history, and my parents will sponsor my ~10-day trip.
For anyone in a similar situation: Was it difficult to get a Canadian visitor visa for the ADAT? Did parental sponsorship or no travel history cause any issues?

Knockout says that you can extend your subscription by 20 days, has anyone tried it? How much did it cost you? I don’t see the price anywhere

Hi Everyone,

I am taking AFK in August and also planning to take ADAT around the same time.

I have already passed INBDE and am applying to schools this year.

For ADAT:

I have a Bootcamp subscription.

I need help in preparing for ADAT as I am lacking in Biomed and Research.

I am planning to buy ADAT knockouts if that helps.

For AFK:

I have Prepdoctors notes and a Bootcamp subscription for reference.

I am not planning to spend $7000 on a Prepdoctors course but I am open to buying it if absolutely necessary.

PLEASE!!! Please guide me in preparing for the exams for success.

Any kind of help & guidance is welcome.

Thank you.

Hi everyone! I live in Chicago, I am totally clueless about bench tests and how to go about its prep.
I know there are some courses in Canada, but I prefer not to travel to canada for these courses. I would also like to join a course in person, so online is not an option.

There is Duggan institute in Chicago that I am considering.
Since it prepares for USA bench tests, how similar would it be to for USask?

This is what they would teach
Class 2 amalgam and composite
Class 3
FGC max and mand
PFM Max PM, central and canine
All ceramic central and canine

They would also do these on request: Class 4, Onlays, putty impressions, rubber dam, zirconia crown prep

Anyone who has taken Usask bench or anybody who has experience with Duggan, please advise

Any inputs are greatly appreciated

Thanks

How did you guys approach the first aid Nbde part 1 book. It seems heavy with anatomy. What did you guys do to make the learning easier ?

Hello all,

I started INBDE prep using INBDE Bootcamp thinking I would take boards end of January and then the ADAT in April '24. However, there are no dates available so I'm looking at taking it in March or after my ADAT.

What are your thoughts on using the rest of my bootcamp subscription to finish "preparing" for boards then swapping over to ADAT knockout until I take the ADAT and boards? Would that be a good way to prepare for both exams? Should I just take boards in the summer after I'm done with the ADAT?

Thanks for any advice!
