hi, i'm a 24 year old BDS graduate in India , planning to start my ADC journey but i'm too confused to take which route

is it better to start prepping for it from india and clear the exams from india itself and then start searching for jobs in Australia? would this work? or do the obvious lack of networking living in india would cause an issue finding better opportunities.

or

is it better to do a non-clinical masters like MPH/MHA from australia while woring and networking and give my prep and give my ADC from there only?

Anyone who has given part 1 before willing to study together for March 27 ??

Please DM

I have begun preparing for ADC Part 2 but have been encountering quite a few roadblocks interms of what is required and what isn’t. I am looking for someone who has given this exam and can just answer a few questions that will help me make some informed decisions.
These are mostly smaller things like what instruments need to be bought from the expensive brands vs where we can use dupes, where to find certain products, how their OSCE experience was, etc. Basically small doubts to clarify with someone like an ADC older brother/sister.
IDK anybody who has done this yet and hence the confusion. Would love it if anybody is willing to help a fellow dentist out :)

Hi! Is anyone here from the Nordic countries or elsewhere in Europe? Have you found the written exam difficult?
I’ve been reading the Therapeutic Guidelines, and overall the recommendations seem quite similar to what we use here, although there are of course some small differences.
I’m sitting the exam in September. To be honest, I haven’t had a huge amount of time to study. I’ve mainly been trying to understand what kind of questions the exam asks and what they are looking for. I have 10 years of clinical experience, so I feel quite confident with the clinical side, but I’m still nervous about the exam.

I'm looking for study partners for part one ... we can make a telegram group from next monday 17/8 for 4 months.

If anyone is interested leave a comment

A few people have been asking for a free resource to help with their ADC preparation, so I thought I'd share it here for everyone who might find it useful.

If you're preparing for the ADC, hopefully this gives you a useful starting point

I need to prepare for ADC part 2, and I'm wondering if there is a qualified center in the Philippines where I can start preparing for part two immediately ...

I also would need to find accommodation and I need advice about how much money I need per month

Hii everyone. I have just completed my housejob from Pakistan in 2026 and now planning to attempt ADC part 1 in March 2027. People who have already cleared it, can you please me out on how to properly start preparing for it by self study. I know about TG, ICG, odell and camerons. What other books should I know about and what should be my approach for preparation?
I can’t afford to enroll in any course, might enroll for some mocks towards the end but not right. If you could give a roadmap or any tips I would be eternally greatful.

Hi everyone,
I’m planning to take the ADC Part 1 exam in March 2027 and I’m trying to decide which preparation course to choose. I haven’t enrolled in any course yet and I’m feeling a bit confused.
Which course would you recommend, and why? I’d really appreciate your advice. Thanks!

Has anyone had a problem booking their exam venue after the authorization to test email. For some reason I could not find any center in the country or outside had to withdraw my application because of this.
