Hi everyone,

I’m an internationally trained dentist with a CGPA of 3.2, and I’m planning to attempt the exam this August. I also have a 6-year clinical practice gap, which honestly makes this journey feel even more intimidating sometimes.

Every time I sit down to study, I get overwhelmed and start feeling like maybe I’m not capable of doing this anymore. It feels hard seeing others move ahead while I’m trying to rebuild my confidence from scratch.

I would really appreciate hearing from people who were in a similar situation, low GPA, long study/practice gap, self-doubt, starting over later in life but still managed to make it through. I could really use some motivation, encouragement, and positive energy right now.

Thank you ❤️
