Board READY INBDE preparation
What is included in Board READY?
Board READY brings dental video lessons, question practice, timed mocks and study planning into one preparation routine. Check the current plan comparison for live learning, recordings, downloads and other inclusions. Compare current Board READY plans →
Which examination does Board READY prepare for?
Board READY’s core preparation focus is the INBDE. Review the current course coverage and official examination requirements before choosing your preparation resources.
How does the question bank work?
Use subject and Foundation Knowledge filters to choose practice. Tutor explanations help you review the reasoning, and available saved-question tools let you return to questions later.
How do the timed mock exams work?
Review each mock’s question count, section timing, breaks and explanation access before starting. Practice results can guide review but do not guarantee an official exam result.
What does the study progress indicator mean?
The indicator summarizes selected practice activity and results. It is a study aid, not an official INBDE score or a prediction that you will pass.
How does the INBDE study plan work?
Use your exam date and available study time to organize lessons and question practice. Review the planner demonstration to see the current scheduling and adjustment tools.
Are live classes included?
Check the current plan comparison and live schedule for included sessions and recordings. The published plan details should state the time zone and recording availability.
What is the Daily Quest?
Daily Quest is a short question challenge for regular practice. XP and streaks reflect platform participation, not an official exam score.
How much does Board READY cost?
Monthly, three-month and six-month access options are listed on the Board READY page. Review the current USD price, access period, renewal terms and refund policy before purchasing.
Dental application support
What dental application services are offered?
Available application services include CV and personal statement review, mock interviews and professional consultations. A 45-minute professional consultation costs $350. Check the current service details for deliverables. One-on-one tutoring is listed separately in the services catalogue. Explore dental application support →
Can international dentists get help with advanced standing applications?
Yes. Explore document review, interview practice and consultation support for internationally trained dentists researching advanced standing DDS and DMD programs. Program requirements and admission decisions belong to each school.
How do I book a session or document review?
Choose a service in the booking catalogue. Scheduled sessions require an available appointment; document reviews use a file-upload workflow. Review the service details and terms before completing checkout.
How long does a document review take?
The confirmed turnaround should be shown in the service description before booking. If you have a deadline, contact Mental Dental to check availability before purchasing.

Dental school access
Can schools review student progress?
