You can’t divide it like that, the first 3 sections are 105 min for 100 questions, that makes it 1.05 min per question, once you finish every section there is no way to go back, on the other sections you’ll have more time per question because is 105 min for 60 question and then again 105 min for 70 question twice the 2nd day, that’s around 1.75 min per question which is pretty good. I took my board exam 6 days ago and I used Mental Dental and Bootcamp as my only study resource and I totally recommend it, still waiting on my results. The only problem was that the system is too slow, it’s not like Bootcamp, sometimes it takes more than 5 seconds just to load from one question to the next and as you can imagine that’s not helpful specially in the first 3 rounds, it would’ve been nice to have a faster computer system.
If you want to be specific for each section, then yes, that's absolutely correct. However, in this video I kept things simple for the sake of practicing your *average* question pace. On average, you get 1.26 minutes per question so when someone sits down to simulate the exam at home, and they have a giant bank of questions to work through (not separated by standalone/item set), that is the overall average you're working with. As you pointed, you can certainly get a lot more specific per section (and you are given more time for item sets than standalone questions). Appreciate the breakdown though!

Please doctor could you download mental dental lectures pdf?!
Yes, instructions for downloading the slides can be found on my website: www.mentaldental.com/faq
Please doctor when will you upload oral pathology new series?
A new Oral Diagnosis video will be coming soon!
If you don’t use up the 15 mins tutorial time, can you add that time to your exam time or not?
No
Unfortunately not! Use it as a launching off point to get comfortable with the software before you run the race.
