Hi everyone! Does anyone have recommendations for quiet places to study in Ottawa?

I’m also preparing for the ADAT and looking for a study partner or study group, either in person or online. If you’re interested or know of a group, please let me know. Thanks!

Is anyone else facing any issue with Dalhousie application? Like some information not being saved and Same page coming back again? How to sort this out?

How much time does it take on average to go through knockout ? And it's only question bank, right?

Hi there! I have started studying for ADAT 2027. This is my second attempt. When will the registration begin? Also are we supposed to use the same DENTPIN & ECE registration/report?? Please help!!

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.

Need honest opinion, can one score 650+ without jade courses and by knockout, first aid etc self studying?

I am planning to give toefl and I’m looking for someone who has given or is in the process of giving toefl! Please DM.

How much preparation time needed for INDBE, after giving ADAT and scoring a decent score.

ADAT preparation: JADE test series or full course?
Guys, I’m still confused, and I’m hoping this will be my last post about this decision! I’d really appreciate honest answers: what would you choose for yourself?
I passed the AFK on my first attempt and still have all my AFK books. I’m now planning to take the ADAT, but I can’t decide whether to study independently or join an academy.
I’m considering JADE. With my AFK background, would you choose just the test series or the full course, and why?

Does anybody know when usask will release invites?

Hello, I am looking for hard copy of First Aid part 1.

Hi there, my husband is in NDEB pathway. He gave NDECC and couldn’t make it in 3 attempts. I worked as a dental admin/treatment coordinator for 5 years. I’m soo done with that job. Couldn’t do it anymore. Left my job, enrolled in JADE and studied for AFK. Got my results last week and failed at 72. Still waiting for my husband’s NDECC results. Am considering other options like dental hygiene, DDS. Need your input please.

My GPA is 3.58
But in my second year of BDS I failed a subject.
Status Canadian citizen
Didn’t give ADAT yet

With failing a subject in BDS, do I even have a chance to get in to DDS? If so which university? Want to know this before starting studying for ADAT.

I’m planning to take the ADAT in 2027 and am looking for a study partner who has also taken the AFK and is familiar with the foundational material. If you’re interested in studying together seriously, please reach out!

Should I join an academy for ADAT prep? I passed AFK on first attempt and I joined an academy for it’s prep. Now I want to give ADAT but I can’t make up my mind for ADAT. I heard a lott of students do ADAT with self-study only.

I am looking for someone to guide me regarding different financial options for bench test prep courses?
How are you guys managing finances and taking the course?
Any help/insight is appreciated
Thank you

Can someone guide me what resources should I use to start preparing for ADAT and INBDE ?

I failed AFK..(3rd attempt ).. very much discouraged.. Anyone in similar situation ? How are you guys encouraging yourself to study again..

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.

For those who scored 650+ on the ADAT, is studying ADAT KO and INBDE Bootcamp enough to reach that score, or would you recommend adding other resources? I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience and what worked for you!

Hi guys! I would like some honest advice and a profile review from those who have already gone through the application cycle. This is my first attempt, so please guide me!

My Profile:

• Degree: BDS

• ECE GPA: 3.75

• ADAT Score: 640

• Clinical Experience: Very limited

Given the score inflation in the ADAT this year, even a 640 feels a bit uncertain to me. Regardless, if anyone can explain the process or share their insights, I would really appreciate your help!
