The purpose of this study was to assess dental students' study habits and level of preparation necessary to successfully prepare for the National Board Dental Examination (NBDE) Part I. Four hundred thirty-seven dental students from across the United States participated in a web-based survey about their goals, results, and study habits in preparation for taking the NBDE Part I. A majority of the respondents (76 percent; n=331) reported taking the web-based version of the exam. More than one-third (n=168) of the respondents indicated they wanted to achieve a scaled score of 90 or above, while only about one-quarter (n=120) actually achieved this target score. Students preferred to use the Dental Decks and released Part I exams to study for the exam, regardless of their score. No significant correlations between type of study source used and the score achieved on the exam were found.
本研究的目的是评估牙科学生的学习习惯以及成功备考美国国家牙科委员会考试（NBDE）第一部分所需的准备水平。来自美国各地的437名牙科学生参与了一项关于他们备考NBDE第一部分的目标、成绩和学习习惯的网络调查。大多数受访者（76%；n = 331）报告参加了该考试的网络版。超过三分之一的受访者（n = 168）表示他们希望获得90分或更高的标准分数，而实际上只有约四分之一的人（n = 120）达到了这个目标分数。无论成绩如何，学生们都更喜欢使用《牙科学复习卡片》和已发布的第一部分考试题目来备考。研究发现，所使用的学习资料类型与考试成绩之间没有显著相关性。
